Ameen Sayani interviews Rajkumari, who was such a sensation in the 1940s and early 1950s before she faded away.
I'd recorded it earlier this year, and converted it perhaps a couple of months back. Unfortunately, the sound volume is a bit low, and now I can't find the tape. If I locate it, I'd convert it again and upload it.
Anyway, here it is.

Part two...

Thanks a Lot sir for this upload.
can you tell in which year it was recorded

warm regards
Ashish

For good measure, let me also upload a Rajkumari favourite of mine!

I'm not sure, Ashish-ji.
I don't think Ameen Sayani mentioned it before he played the interview... usually he only says 'ek purana interview'...

And dadamuni.. idhar "sun bairee balam sach bol" bhi ul karenge
rab aapka bhala kare

I have it with me!

thank you thank you
is song ka video bhi mast hai na.. loved devanand in this one..

Dev Anand!

but he did look so cute in that song
no latka jhatkas .. just standign there with that bansuri!

oh shucks!! rajkapoor tha
*sheepish grin*

Yes, but I think Geeta Bali looked much nicer.

oh she always was a delight . Like her and Nalini Jaywant a lot..
There is a movie jisme Nalini is a widow and always wear white.. and looks so graceful
btw aaj aap kaafi khush nazar aa rahe hain.. kya hua??

Yes, Nalini Jayawant looked so nice. I used to just adore her in my younger days. She looked so so nice and elegant in Samadhi.
Khushi ki koi khas vajah to nahin hei...

Just search for "mp3gain" in google

rom ji aap hi kar dein.......

Hi Ashish

I have all songs of Mahal on a tape but not the time to digitalize them . However, here is a nice song by Raj Kumari that you would enjoy.

Song: Kahin Dil Lagane Ka Saman Kar Le
Film: Rag Rang (1952)
Music: Roshan

Thanks a lot Pulkit

.Thanks for this rare number

warm regards

ashish

Came back to this topic after very long... was looking for a better version of this song. I'd ripped it from the VCD of Mahal, but it somehow came out almost as mono - very little sound in the right channel.
Could someone share this one in better/full quality, please?
Thanks.

rom:

Guess what? It was in mono!

Here's your track, after conversion to stereo and editing out the portion after the end of the song:

The problem with VCD tracks is that they often have kinda "bubble popping" sounds. Dunno how to describe it better!

Thanks sir!
Wonder how you worked the magic...

Do reflect upon the lyrics too, by Naqshab Jarchavi:

Main Woh Hansi Hoon Lub Pe Jo Aane Se Reh Gayi
Main Woh Shama Hoon Jo Kabhi Roshan Nahi Huyi
Hoon Woh Umang Dil Se Jo Nikli Na Ek Baar
Hoon Woh Khushi Gham Ne Jise Kar Liya Shikar

Mai n Woh Dulhan Hoon Raas Na Aaya Jise Singhar
Main Woh Chaman Hoon Jis Pe Na Aayi Kabhi Bahar

When did you last hear the lyrics of this quality?
