      • Trivia
        Although playback recording was very much in vogue at the time, K.L. Saigal (who sang for himself) convinced director Phani Majumdar that the song 'Babul mora...' should be recorded live while it was being filmed. So Saigal sang on the streets with the entire orchestra playing as the song was being filmed for the movie.
