Lata Mangeshkar is the highest represented artist of this blog. Still there are thousands of her songs still to be posted. And if I want to really pick and choose, it is just not feasible in the absence of the explicit information as is available in the case of Mohammed Rafi songs, in the excel sheet.

I have listened to this song for the first time only today, even though this song is from a very old movie called “Ambar” (1952). I was not even aware of this movie, but it turns out that this movie had names like Raj Kapoor, Nargis in it, as also dancers like Helen, Cuckoo etc. So this movie must have some nice dance numbers, was my first impression.
