“Shabaab” (1954) was a Sadiq Preoduction movie. It was produced and directed by M Sadiq.

I have mentioned the fact that Lata has the unique distinction of singing six different songs for six different actors in “Mayur Pankh”(1954). I have so far discussed two of these songs. It is only natural that I should want to discuss the other songs too.
