“Pehle Aap” (1944) is a movie that came as a critic juncture in the annals of Hindi movie music and it determined the course of action that Hindi movie music was to take. Songs of this movie as well as the other movies with music by Naushad were based on folk music. It was a major departure from earlier music which was based on classical rag based music. Music lovers loved this folk music based music. The classical music based songs too continued to be composed but it became clear that the key to win the public over was through folk music based songs.

Here is a song that is extremely rare and obscure even by the standards of this blog where rare songs are discussed on a regular basis. And a song like this cannot be discovered just by stumbling against them in some site. One needs to consciously search for songs like this by name. I had got a lead somewhere that there was a music director called Pt Govardhna Prasad who was the father of Khemchand Prakash. Pt Govardhan Prasad worked as a music director in only one movie and that movie was called “Ismat”. With this minute bit of information, I set out to search for the songs of this movie.
