I have posted a couple of songs from “Sazaa” (1951) already, but even I was not aware of this song.

“Gateway of India” (1957) is a forgotten movie from the past. It had Pradeep Kumar and Madhubala in lead roles. The movie flopped at the box office.

“Opera House” (1961) , which is a forgotten movie, starred Ajit and B Saroja Devi in lead roles. Since the movie was a B grade movie, its songs did not have the opportunity to get popular because not too many people got to listen to them.

Earlier I had posted a song from “Jaal” (1952) which was sung by Lata. Now I have found that there is another Lata song in this movie, and like the earlier song, this song too is “new” for me.

Here is another song which is “new” for me. I had neither heard about this song or about this movie called “Zindagi Aur Ham” (1962). This movie had Dinesh (?), Nalini Jaywant, Chand Usmani, David, Mukri etc. The fact that I have not heard about the movie could mean that the movie was a failure [...]
