As rare songs go, this song is rarest of the rare, as they say in legal parlance. 🙂 So rare in fact that very little information is available on this song. What I know for sure is that this song is from “Tilasmi Duniya” (1946). Another information that is exciting for music lovers is that Sajjad Hussain is the music director !

As with many movies of that era, I saw Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahaani (1946) on Doordarshan as a child. Sometimes, I am thankful for the times and the circumstances I grew up in. As teenagers, we did never have enough pocket money to spend on visits to the cinema halls. Our cinematic excursions were limited to view the weekly movie on DD, that too at a friend’s home. There was a time, many others would also remember, the weekly movie was actually shown partly on Saturday and partly on Sunday. I can recall a long list of movies from the 30s to the 50s thus viewed. This was before the time cable took over, and a black and white showing on the TV screen became a rarity. And the movies watched then, had a lasting impression and influence on my mind. The life and times were simpler; the movies and its people meant a value in social and traditional terms, and money was not the name of the game.
