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.

“Kismat” (1943) has the distinction of being India’s most successful movie at the box office (it ran for three years at one movie hall) before its record was broken by “Sholay” (1975) (it ran for five years in one movie hall). “Kismat” (1943) really must have caught the imagination of the public at that time. And its music definitely played a big role in bringing movie watchers to the movie halls.
