I can’t put together a big Cuckoo birthday post this week like the one that I did on February 4, 2011. But for my tribute, here’s a nice video from the batch that Tom just put up from Mirza Sahiban (1947). I’ve posted this one before (and, of course, I’ve posted every other song from this film, too, since it was the last Indian movie starring Noor Jehan), but this copy looks crisper and clearer than the other one(s), naturally…
Thanks for this lovely clip. Cuckoo as usual is outstanding. Zohra Ambalawali sounds somewhat different from her usual self.
You’re welcome, AK, and thank you for the good words. It is interesting that you felt Zohrabai sounded so different here – that didn’t occur to me.
