This Lata classic was haunting

From a chronological standpoint, Aayega Aanewala – the haunting track from Mahal, which released in 1949 – was the first song I heard, but since I wasn’t aware of other songs from Hindi films released in the 1940s, I listened to a few more over the years before creating this playlist.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that this was the song with which Lata Mangeshkar shot to fame.

Naqshab Jaarchavi penned the Khemchand Prakash composition, which was originally offered to Uma Devi (Tun Tun), who refused owing to her contract with Kardar Productions.
