Thanks Lakshmi for the very rare stuff.

Can anyone clarify whether Susheela Rani & Susheela Sahu the same person?

--Balaji

I have never heard of Susheela Sahu, but the Sushila Rani who acted and sang in "Draupadi" is better known as Sushila Rani Baburao Patel. In addition to being an actress, she is also a classical singer of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana and was sometime editor of the film magazine started by her husband, Baburao Patel.

I don't know her antecedents but, given that she was honoured earlier this year by the Konkani Sammelan in California, she seems to be Konkani by birth. (I have heard of Sahu being an Oriya name; is it a Konkani name too?)

Warm regards,
Abhay

laxmiji,
thanks for the rare vintage stuff.music director hanuman prasad was the one who intoduced geeta roy in his film bhakta prahlad[1946]

balaji,
as abhay has mentioned,sushila rani patel was a singer-actress married to director-editor baburao patel.

are you confusing with sushil sahu who sang a few song in forties.he was a actor singer and was most probably brother of kishore sahu.


regards,
mahesh

Many thanks for giving us this rare album in clean
sharp quality. I think the movie had another song:
'sheetal chaandni khili'

Please upload that one too if you have it.
