I have been posting songs from “Anmol Ghadi”(1946) these days. This movie was a monster hit during its time and its songs are popular even today. In this movie, most of the songs were sung by Noorjehaan, Suraiyya and Surendra (the three leading actors in the movie), but there were also songs sung by other singers viz Shamshad Begam and Zohrabai Ambalewaali.

When one talks of “Safar”, I am reminded of a 1970 movie by this name starring Rajesh Khanna. But there was another movie by this name that was released in 1946. Not much is known about this movie, at least to me, but it seems that this movie had actors called Kanu Roy, S L Puri, V H Desai, Shobha etc. Naseem Akhtar (never heard of this name) was a singer in this movie.
