Guess what song I stumbled upon a brief while ago ! I came across a rare song about Eid on the eve of the festival.
This song is as obscure as any. It is from a movie called “Rashida Dulhan” which was made sometime in late 1940s or early 1950s I guess but was never released. The songs of this movie, or at least this song managed to survive though.

There have been two Hindi movies called “Shama” and there are many people including “experts” who get mixed up in this confusion. There movies were “Shama” (1946) and “Shama” (1961).

Today (3 july) is the death anniversary of Raj Kumar. Raj Kumar made his debut as an actor in 1950s and his most productive decade as an actor was the decade of 1960s. There are actors who are remembered for songs picturised on him, but Raj Kumar is often remembered for some of the immortal dialogues picturised on her.
