I cannot believe that we are getting 40's footage, such a treasure. Adorably sung by Madhu or someone else. The kid really doesn't have any resemblance to the Madhu Bala that all of us know....those greek/sharp features, sparkling eyes. I could be simply wrong!

@Voltairec Thanks for giving your opinion. I am happy to report that you are absolutely wrong. Do some research, read some old 40s magazines.

@surjit1234 I am actually delighted to be wrong! I absolutely identify with the golden era of Hindi cinema though I was born in disco dancer generation. I came across 'tere sadhke balam' from Amar and stood transfixed by Madhubala's pristine acting and much commented 'classic' beauty. I cannot think of any modern songs that can do this....I am sitting here 1000s miles from India and just keep coming back to this gems.

@Voltairec I am 8,818 miles from Mumbai, where the movie made. I fell in love with Madhubala in the 50s. I could not sleep for two days when a friend sent me a copy of Basant 1942!

Madhubala is like a full moon. You may find defects in moon when you look too closely but there is nothing more beautiful in skies than moon in reference beauty and symbol for love. Madhubala's beauty is unquestionable to most people including myself. Yes we must speak our honest openion even when others differ.

She as a child, must have been of the best singer of her times. I love her songs.

I wish she was still alive.

One can't imagine a girl of 9 possessing such a talent -- all the more interesting to know that she herself sang the song! A very, very natural performer in all respects she was! All the human emotions and feelings she could portray with so much ease -- and in a natural flow!

There is another clipping from the same film, I think, where she is also surrounded by three more actors -- Mehmood's father, et al!

Enjoyed both.
