In Bollywood movies, “Mujra” songs is one of a standard category of songs. Most people, including me, discuss such songs as a matter of course, without thinking much about this matter. But the songs of “Adalat” (1958), which are all “Mujra” songs force me to think about it.

Here is a song from a very old movie called “Humaayun” (1945). Now 1945 was a different era altogether. Those were the days when the legends of today were no longer legends and we had an entirely different set of legends those days.

It has been pointed out by my readers that the song “Ramaiyya vasta vaiyya” from “Shree 420” (1955) is missing from the blog. Not just this song, I am sure many great gems of yesteryears are missing from the blog. But I will gradually add all these songs.

Nargis and Raj Kapoor had worked together in 14 movies in all. One of the lesser known movies where they worked together is called “Pyaar” (1950). This movie may be lesser known, but it is a trivia buff’s delight. For instance, this is the only movie where Kishore Kumar gave playback for Raj Kapoor.
