Parwana ,film 1946,k.l.saigal,suraiya

Probably last film of K.L.Saigal. He died before the film was completely shot, it seems.The song is a bhairavi thumri though the mukhda unusually is a colloquial urdu expression, not common in thumri compositions.Khurshid Anwar was the music director for the film.

is it a traditional thumri? likely not...in which case it will be an interesting project to add a verse or two to the thumri and complete it in saigal's style.

i had added 2 verses to it with the help of a friend and sung it too..maybe 8 years ago. it is definitely not a traditional thumri as the mukhda indicates.

[ambindia]

as an option, or in addition, one can add couplets or quattrains from other poems...

[ambindia]

another possibility. it WAS a traditional thumri written by an urdu composer . possibly from lucknow?

vah re saigal..this song is not Balam Aye..

[sbhatt88]

just a couple of corrections/additions. this is from the movie parwana, but it's from 1947, not 46. it was released after saigal's death in january of that year; and this song, baalam tope sabar pade, is his last song.
