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.

Now that I think about it, there were a few standard K L Saigal songs that were recycled repeatedly in this programme.

I am now in fact covering those K L Saigal songs that are lesser known and which were rarely played in the above mentioned programme .
