Hindi movie songs is a vast ocean and so far we in this blog have only been to the surface with occasional plunges. We have only covered a small fraction of all the songs that are lying out there. However, when it comes to songs of K L Saigal, we have made considerable progress. Almost all K L Saigal Hindi movie songs that are available on youtube have been disussed. The remaining Hindi filmsongs of K L Saigal are not available on youtube/dailymotion. So one needs to upload these hitherto unavailable songs in order to discuss them here. And that is what I have been doing with K L saigal movie song these days.

When I was growing up as a kid, I loved listening to songs that had names of places in them. To my mind, if the name of a place figured in a song, then that song had “arrived”. The name of Bombay figured in several songs naturally and I envied the people living in that Metropolital city.

I have posted four songs from “Dahej” (1950) and I thought I had covered all the songs that are available. While posting those songs, I had not realised that all these songs were sung by female singers. As many as four female singers had sung in these songs. The heroine Jayshee in fact has sung her own songs in this movie.

“Ham Ek Hain” (1946) is a movie with a message. in this movie, Durga Khote, a noble widowed matriarch brings up many orphan kids in addition to her own son. These kids are her own son Shankar (Dev Anand), and orphans Yusuf (Rehman), John (Rane) and Durga (Rehana).

Old Hindi movies and their songs are much like old monuments in Indian towns that mostly lie unattended and neglected. These monuments (and movies) were once centres of public attention and now few people are even aware of their existence. The legacy left behind by them is quite rich but few people bother to dig them up, refurbish them and preserve them. And it is a pity.
