Great to see this excerpt from "Sargam". Beautiful song although its a pity to see such a great singer as Saraswati Rane (Hirabai Barodekar's sister) being asked to sing for something ridiculous... But of course, that's Bollywood as one can also see with Mehmood+Shubha Khote in "Sanjh aur Savera" (Ajahu na aayé) or Mukri in "Kohinoor" (Madhuban mein Radhika)
Actress to the right of Rehana singing with sitar is Paro. She hailed from Mairuth and was called "Mairuth ki Qainchi" ( Scissors of Meerut) in Bombay film studios in mid-1940s due to her sweet talk and refined mannerism learned as a mujra dancer in Mairuth. One evening she invited Ashok Kumar to her apartment near Shivaji Park and tried to seduce him. He rejected her advances and as he left she said,"Ashok bhaiya, I was just testing you. Ashok sahib I consider you as my elder brother".
a pleasant song from a vastly successful music film of CR. A titbit info.: Enthused by the success of his music, C.Ramchandra named his then newly built house "Sargam".
Really liked watching the video. I used to hear the song on tape once in a while. But watching the video is much more enjoyable. Thank you very much.

Ya, you are welcome. CR was a very interesting, friendly person, a composer, who always tried new styles, new orchestra.
He gave the great music Albela to his friend Bhagwan free of any charge.!!
