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.

This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog. This is his 100th writeup in this blog.
Yesterday, Shamshad Begum hit a double century on this blog. That reminded me that I had missed writing an article on her on the occasion of her 93rd birth day on April 14th.

Manna Dey, the next senior most playback singer is 16 days younger to her.
