After that qawwali like fusion wedding song from “Bombay”, I remembered a few filmy qawwalis from the 21st century. Several of them are composed by ARR, so there is a possibility of at least one more qawwali in that series. There is another one from the 90’s which should follow in the next few days.
After the top one “Na to karwaan ki talaash hai” many people consider “parda hai parda hai” to be second most liked and famous qawwali in Rafi Sahab’s songs. I am sceptical about this rating. I have personally always liked “pal do pal ka saathh hamaara” and “Hai agar dushman” better than the hugely popular “Parda hai parda hai”. This qawwali is performed in most of the shows of Rafi Sahab songs. That is fine, as someone remarked, that it is a more engaging one and singers enjoy performing it. That makes it a favourite for the singers too. So, it has somethings going for it. I just wish that the singers try other equally appealing and engaging qawwalis too. All of them are trying to touch the benchmark, in playback singing left by Rafi Sahab. Some say that the textbook is written, and ink dried, and they just need to open the pages and try and absorb.
For qawwali, the non-filmy variety, there are other legends who have set benchmarks. “Na to karwaan ki talaash hai” certainly inspired and achieved a benchmark, so much so that for decades, none of the major music directors tried to reach that. A true sufiana genuine qawwali tradition in hindi films is revived by ARR. In the 90’s Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan did make a splash with his brand of originality in hindi films. Some others went the plagiarism way to cash in to the popularity of sufiana qawwalis of NFAK. It is ARR ingenuity that he comfortably travels from the southern Indian sounds and transcends the hieghts of sufiana, via the folklore and ‘Vande mataram” to Beethoven.
This post is not about A. R. Rehman, so I will move to the song.
This is unabashed attempt towards a genuine qawwali. With the colours and performance, choregraphed and shot with all angles, in the fashion of a live show performance on stage. Anu Malik and Javed Akhtar have teamed up for once, to deliver this funny romantic qawwali, in “Main hoon na” 2004.
Awards list is here:
Album Awards:
· 2004 – Filmfare Awards – Best Music Director – Anu Malik
Song Awards:
· 2004 – Screen Awards – Best Male Playback Singer – Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai Jo Haal Kya Kahen – Sonu Nigam
And they delivered an enlivening creation; they all should be proud of. They gave it to Sonu Nigam and chorus team of Aftab Sabri and Hashim Sabri.
Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed Khan, Amrita Rao and Sushmita Sen are on screen, dancing and prancing with a whole lot of other actors, and some dancers/extras. Females have no lines to sing, and Sonu Nigam is singing for both Shah Rukh and Zayed. So, this a real “one singer singing for two actors” song.
Colourful singing, colourful sets, colourful dancing, and all things full of colours and shades. Better to see it with dimmed setting in the computer. It is a multiple hat wearing picturization.
It is Sonu Nigam’s song, as he takes away all the singing accolades, and does a Rafi number with voice variation in mukhda repetition, to go to a true blue qawwali mode. Also changes his voice to suit SRK for the last stanza. SRK is seen enjoying himself throughout performing this qawwali, singing in chorus.
BTW, did anyone spot a “Golden Kite” in the song? It is ‘Makar Sankrant” time, after all. “Chali chali re patang meri chali re” is trending on the blog today.

Today’s song is from a Costume film (HFGK mentions it as a ‘social’ film) – Awara Shehzadi-1956.
There are a total of 14 film titles having Awara in it. Funnily, the original “Awara Shehzada”was a film of 1933. It took 23 years to bring about a female version of the Title with Awara Shehzadi in 1956 ! Incidentally, the film ‘Awara Shehzada’-33 was the First Talkie film, having a Double Role. Shahu Modak had done the roles of the Prince ( Rajkumar) and the Pauper ( Bholaram) in this film. It was directed by Master Vithal, the First Hero of First Talike of India, “Aalam Ara “-1931. Master Vithal was also the first male actor to feature in the Silent Films’ first double role in the film ” Prisoner of Love “- 1927 (aka Raj Tarang) made by Sharda Films.

#Debutant Movie- Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960#
Today we introduce the movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ on this blog. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.02.1960. Initially I was surprised to note this, because I was under the impression that this movie has been represented on the blog long back. But the reason for this was confusing this with the title ‘Alam Ara’. We have three movies with this title made in the year 1931, 1956 & 1973 already available on this blog.
This movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ was directed by Nanubhai Vakil for Desai Kalamandir, Bombay. Moghabhai Desai was the producer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Naina, Maruti, Daljeet, Prakash, Kanchanmala, Jeevankala, Sadik, Tuntun, Munshi Munakka, Chandabai, Nazmi, Sashimala, M. Kumar, Nadir, Meharbanu, Razzaq, Pawan Kumar, Ismail Azad, Yusuf Azad Qawwaal and others.

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 15
Back in 2021, I had started this ambitious series for posts to highlight the significant associations in Rafi Sahab’s career. I knew that very few and far between, songs of the major influencers on Rafi Sahab’s singing, were remaining to be posted in the blog, even in 2021.
Most of these stalwarts were old timers, like Naushad, S. D. Burman, Shankar-Jaikishan, Chitragupt, Ravi and C. Ramchandra etc. A few of them of them were more contemporary, like R. D. Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, who were with him. They were the latest beneficiaries of Rafi magic, who were ‘faizyafta” till the end, in 1980. Both started in 1966-67 and continued. Even Kalyanji-Anandji was composing songs for Rafi sahab till the end of 70’s. Madan Mohan and Ravi did it throughout his career and till “Laila Majnu” in 1976, and was the only one who started in 50’s and ended and 70’s, apart from Naushad.

In this post I am again sharing a Qawwalee song from the golden period of Hindi Film Music i.e. the decade of 1951-1960. I had come across this song around a month back and later it got delayed for one reason or other. This Qawwaalee song is sung by the famous Qawwaal duo Shankar-Shambhu. It gives me immense pleasure to present this song for the listening pleasure of readers of this blog.
This song is from the 1956 movie ‘Fighting Queen’. It was produced and directed by Nari Ghadiyali for N.K.G. Productions, Bombay. As is clear from the title of this movie it was a stunt movie. It was passed by the Censor Board on 04.08.1956.
The cast of this movie had Nadiya, John Cavas, Pramila, Shaikh, Habib, Shamim Chaudhary, Noorjahan, Anjum, Hanuman, Mustafa, Azeem, Ahmed, S. Jahangir, and Shankar-Shambhu Qawwaal.
