Here is a song from “Naghma” (1953). Only the audio of this song is available so it is difficult to tell who the actor was on whom this song was picturised.

Can anyone confirm/correct who the singer could be ?

I am somewhat familiar with the songs and actors from late 1940s onwards. But the songs and actors from the earlier period appear totally pre historic and therefore unfamilar. Not much information is available about them either.

“Shabistaan” (1951) was an Arabian Nights kind of fantasy movie. Such kind of movie were then regarded as B grade movie. “Stunt” movie was another name for such movies because these movies had lots of fights in them. In fact, Shyam, the hero of this movie, died on the stage of this movie while performing a stunt. He was riding a horse when he fell from the horse and died. To this date, this is regarded as one of the major disasters on the sets of Hindi movies.
