Khawar Saab attempted to upload a Razia Begum duet from Shikarpur (1947) in Purani Yaadein but the upload was unsuccessful. I am now uploading this song on Khawar Saab's behalf.

Good ole Earthmusic lists the male singer was Mohd Shafi, composer of that Lata classic Bajoobandh Khul Khul Jaaye and films like Hulchul (a few songs). If the singer is indeed Mohd Shafi, his voice has an uncanny resemblance to another singer who shares the same first name!

Old Filmi - 1947 Shikarpur - Razia Begum, Rafi - Balam Harjai Jao Ji-mohd shafi 3m 36s 192kbps mp3

Moving on to Asha now from film GrahLakshmi 1959 movie...khawar

Now my all-time favourite duet by Judhika roy & kamaldas Gupta (Pvt). Composed by kamaldas. We had the 78rpm record in Bahawalpur in late 1960's till somebody borrowed it and understandbly never returned. In late 90's I rediscovered it with late allahdad Khan sahib & Aman Durrani sahib in Peshawar. I have already put it on many web-sites. Here it is again. This is evergreen immortal song along with Duniya Rang rangeli from Dhartimata. Dhartimata song I will put later on. Khawar

You are right. I also do not understand how the text and attacments keep on repeating many times. I never used QUOTE button but use REPLY when uploading. You say I use ADD REPLY button. I will try that next time.
Thanks. Khawar

Another Lata gem from Bhedi Bangla. All the info is in the attachment. Kindly upload non-lata songs of this film if any body has any song. Khawar

Most of my favourite songs are from New Theatres Calcutta. Here is one such song from 1942 movie Saheli (I think it was produced under New Theatre's banner but I am not 100% sure ??) sung by Ratana bai & pahari sanyal. Kindly upload any other songs from this movie. Info is attached with the song. Song is dedicated to Pradeep sahib, a die-hard fan of New Theatre's. khawar

As you are aware that recently lots of pak parliamentarians have been disqualified for fake Uni (BA) degrees. Geo TV in its humerous program "Hum sab umeed se hain" showed a funny clip with a back ground duet of Shamshaad begum & male singer. The wording was something like this " Mere piya ne BA ki degree ley le". These wordings are not accurate. Can any body give info about this song or better upload here. Thanks...khawar

I haven't seen the Geo TV program, but it could be this Mukesh-Shamshad duet from Madan Mohan's first film Aankhen

Hum Se Nain Milana BA Paas Kar Ke - Aankhen (1950) - Mukesh Shamshad - Madan Mohan - 128 - 03:09

Many thanks Khawar for remembering me on this thread. I guess for most Vintage music fans from the sub-continent, the music of New Theaters is the ultimate bliss. Certainly for me, it is.

You have uploaded some really rare, awesome songs. Again many thanks for the same.

HFGK attributes the movie Saheli to Star Productions, Bombay and the only New Theatres connection seems to be Pahadi Sanyal and Ratanbai, the lead artistes. Pahadi had moved to Bombay in early Forties and Ratanbai much earlier. Other stars Yaqoob and zilloobai were always acting in the movies produced in Bombay. The lyrics for the songs in the movie are by Wahid Qureshi and the music is by Bashir Khan Dehlvi. So everything points to this being a movie produced in Bombay.

The song is quite fabulous.
