The movie was a smaller budget movie with actors like Shatrughan Sinha, Vidya Sinha,Bindiya Goswami,Amjad Khan etc in it. The movie was directed by Sohanlal Kanwar and the movie sank without a trace.

Besides being an exceptional production in terms of characterizations and performances, the epic Mughal-e-Azam (1960) created by K Asif, was a musical bonanza too. Of the twelve brilliant creations by Naushad Saab and Shakeel Badayuni, eight are already posted on this blog. Here is the ninth musical offering from this film – a wonderful qawwaali in the tradition of baitbaazi, by Shamshad Begum and Lata Mangeshkar. The setting of this qawwaali is as follows.

A wonderful, but scarcely heard melody this one. As I am scouting for more songs composed by Usha Khanna, I came across this gem of a song from the film Flat No. 9, in my collection. As I heard it again, after a long time, I simply had to send it in for posting right away. We have already discussed three songs of this film, and each one is turning out to be a melody that should have commanded more popularity and listening time on the radio waves. Alas, there are obscure films and unheard songs that are almost lost. But play them, and the music lover’s heart will fill with appreciation, and also wonder, ‘where was this song so far’.
