So I am pleasantly suprised to find that this movie has a light hearted song as well.

Sheesh Mahal is a movie by Sohrab Modi from 1950. Sohrab Modi has presented a series of very powerful and very well made movies, which include both historical epics (Sikander, Pukar, Jhansi Ki Rani, Prithvi Vallabh, Mirza Ghalib, Nauserwan-e-Adil, Raaj Hatth etc.) and contemporary social dramas (Kundan, Meetthaa Zeher, Talaaq, Jailor etc.) Sheesh Mahal belongs to the latter category of his productions.

I other words, both these movies with similar names have music by similarly named music directors as well.

“Shabnam”(1949) is a movie starring Kamini Kaushal, Dilip Kumar, Cuckoo, Jeewan etc. This movie seems to have lots and lots of songs in it that get played in the movie one after the other. Of course, I have not seen this movie and my observation is based on the number of songs that this movie has. As it is, I have discussed four songs from this movie and there seems to be many more songs in this movie.
