The range at which this qawwali is sung should be noted. It is the best qawwali sung by females, and probably better than many qawwalis sung by males.
The highest moorkian were given by noor jahan, showing her range as well as control. All three sang very well. The sheer happiness on the faces of every girl shows how much singing was enjoyed in our culture.
At 1:07 and 1:15 you can see (late) dancer Cuckoo. Young girl ( wearing a cap )sitting behind Rehana and Shashikala at 1:28 to 1:32 then again at 3:06 to 3:08 and 3:45 to 3:52 is Khurshid Akhtar who will later become famous actress under screen name Shyama. She was about 10 years old at that time. She was selected by Shaukat Hussain Rizvi, Director from a group of extras. It was her first movie appearance.
Great upload, memories and recollection of 'Furmaish' programme from Radio Cylone. First hit qawali in the films. Hope people recognize famous actress Shashikala in the video.

This Qawwali and the one from Village Girl (1945) which you uploaded too (thanks!) are the best film Qawwalis.
