(That’s Baby Meena (Kumari) singing with Beena Kumari.)
Awwww… she’s so cute! There is a definite resemblance to the grown-up Meena Kumari, but I’m not sure I’d have recognised her if you hadn’t pointed her out. :-)
Thanks for this clip, its so grerat to see Meena as a little girl, i think i’d have recognised her quite easily without you pointing her out, Here’s wishing you a Happy 2011
I second dustedoff’s awwwwww….such a warm scene!
Glad you all like that Baby Meena scene! I agree with Dustedoff that there is a resemblance but I can’t be sure I would have recognized her had she not been pointed out in the YouTube post… I think she was pretty recognizable in the Lal Haveli scene that I posted before, from about three years later.
Bollywooddeewana, are you sure you would have recognized her so easily? :)
Well, anyway, happy 2011 to you too – and everyone!
Well, I would definitely have thought…she looks like a very young Meena kumari, especially that sideway look up at her sister sometime just after she has started to sing. :-)
Great find Richard.
Quite a New Year’s gift for me.
Happy New Year to all!
Wow, truly rare! We see what a good singer Meena was…I think I also have a rare duet of hers with Zohrabai…
Pacifist, thanks – this “great find” and the prior Meena clip weren’t anything I was looking for; they were completely accidental. Though I knew Meena Kumari was in Lal Haveli (she also appears at the beginning of a song clip that I posted a while back), I found the last one while I was looking into that film for Noor Jehan’s death anniversary. And this time around, I went to Sister for an early Nalini Jaywant scene (which I posted in comments at Dustedoff), when I saw mention of another clip from the film with Baby Meena.
Vidur, I had hoped that if I found a clip of Nalini from an early film, it might be a singing one, but it was just dialogue :( . But it was great to find Baby Meena singing instead! You had mentioned just before that she was a good singer, and she was! It would be great if you could find out or remember what movie that duet with Zohrabai was from.
Anyway, I wasn’t exactly thinking of this as a New Year’s gift, but I can hardly think of a better way to start off 2011 than watching Hindi film clips from 70 years ago. :)
The duet is ‘Cheen Li Hamari Hansi’ from Duniya Ek Sarai (1947).
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I will have to look for that.
Happy New Year to you too!
I can email you that if you want; I can try to provide songs your looking for, dear Sir.
Happy New Year Richard.
I wouldn’t have recognized her–no way. Though the clip you showed in an earlier post was clearly her.
