Here is the movie that started it all. Raj Kapoor made this movie when he was in early 20's. He introduced Nimmi and gave Premnath an equal role in the movie. The Nargis-Raj Kapoor pair became synonomous with romance. He also introduced the music duo Shankar-Jaikishan in this movie that was going dominate the music world for three plus decades. A stunning musical debut no matter how you look at it. I am not sure whether Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra wrote for other movies before this one. May be some of fellow music lovers can throw some light on this ...

The movie was released nearly 60 years ago, yet songs from it sound so fresh. There was so much energy and effort put in crafting and composing them you can experience the fever. What an album and even after these years listening to the songs, what a treat ...

Swarapriya ji this was the biggest successful movie of 40s. broke all previous record colllections !


This was Lata first big successful album. earlier she had 1 hits songs in other albums . but in this album alls ongs were sung by Lata and all were super hits !

This started the trend of lot of Lata- SJ movies. Many Mds too started using Lata for all types of songs of their movie.

SJ used her voice for all songs of many albums - aurat, Poonam, Patrani etc.


This was debut album of Hasrat and Shailendra as well.
