Unfortunately, the only songs from this film that I have are this one and another by Devika Rani, "Sab Kuchh Bhoole". I have uploaded both of them, but have been unable to locate others.

If anyone does find other songs from this film, please upload them and use the video response option to link this video.

@Mrprabhakar1944, that is real-life husband and wife Devika Rani and Himansu Rai. India, just like Pakistan, was once very open to these types of scenes. This film was marketed more to the British audience though, as opposed to the Indian audience at the time, as is evident by the English dialogues. At the time of our one cinema (before 47) it was not rare to see romance. Also, feminism was not suppressed.

[Yog esh]

yes he is.

I am not telling about ancient India. Khajuraho and Konark are glaring examples of openness of Sex in those days. However of late things are not same.You can have your own valuable views. May god bless you.

All the false modesty that masquerade as "Indianess" and "Indian values" are artificial constructs. In original India, there were no hang ups about sex or love nor were women subjugated and treated like inferior beings.

[sunny do]

effect of times of india, on me too :-)

Thanks for the prompt reply. I hope someone else will be able to upload the other songs for us.
