“Sheesha” (1952) is an obscure movie which was produced by Asian Picturs and it had actors like Sajjan,Nargis,Vimla,Amar,Achla Sachdev, Zebu, Anwari, Cuckoo, Majnu etc in it.

I have discussed three songs from this movie so far. Here is another song from this movi. This obscure song (at least for me) is sung by Lata. The song is written by an unknown lyricist called Umar Ansari. Music is composed by Ghulam Mohammad.

“Mausam” (1975) is a movie that is known as much for the acting of Sanjeev Kumar and Sharmila Tagore as for its music. Unfortunately Madan Mohan, the music director of the movie was not alive to see the success of this movie. For much of his life, movies embellished by his wonderful songs would bite the dust as the box office, and ironically, the movies released after his death, viz “Mausam” (1975) and “Laila Majnu” (1976) turned out to be hit movies riding on the music of these movies.

“Kundan” (1955) was a movie based on the celebrated French novel “Les Miserables”. Adapting it to Hindi movies meant that there was enough scope for melancholic songs in it 🙂 And the cast included Nimmi, who specialised in just that kind of roles. 😀

This song from “Subhadra” (1946) is extremely rare. This song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Pt Indra is the lyricist and music is composed by Vasant Desai.

The song is picturised on Lata herself. Yes, “Subhadra” (1946) is one of the rare movies where Lata acted and sang for herself. We all would have dearly loved to watch a song picturised on Lata herself.

The song itself is wonderful to listen to. I have no idea why this song is this rare. This song should have been among the lst of most well known Lata songs.

Here is this superb song from “Subhadra” (1946) for the listening pleasure of music lovers.

This is a song that I have heard many a times in the past but all these days I had no clue which movie this was from. It is not that I was not familiar with the movie. Indeed I was very much aware of the movie and I had discussed as many as four songs from this movie in the blog.
