Today’s song is a rare song from an obscure film – Jeevan Natak-1935.

During the silent film era, there was no sound in the film and hence no dialogues. This was compensated by showing dialogue strips on the screen.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Roop Sundari’ (1949).

‘Roop’ is yet another favorite word of filmmakers. A total of 17 films carried the word ‘Roop’ in the beginning of titles.
