Today (1 october) is the birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri (1 october 1919 – 24 may 2000), who was easily the most prolific lyricist during the golden era of Hindi movie music. Born as Asrar Ul Hasan Khan, Majrooh Sultanpuri began his career as a lyricist in 1946 with “Shahjahaan” (1946).

AAWAAZ (1956) was a Mehboob Production film directed by Zia Sarhadi. I do not know the story of the film but when Mehboob and Zia Sarhadi come together for a film, one can expect that with their leftist ideologies, the film would depict the class conflict between rich and poor. The film had Rajendra Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles with Usha Kiran, Zul Vellani, Nazir Hussain, Leela Chitnis, D K Sapru, Jagdeep, Anwar Hussain, etc in the supporting roles. With a story of class conflicts and Nazir Hussain and Leela Chitnis in the film, one can visualise that the film would have a lot of melodramatic contents.
