The Three Reigning Queens, Albums of Madhubala, Meena Kumari & Nargis Options

The Three Reigining Queens

One was a beauty queen. Madhubala was her screen name. The other was a tragedy queen. She was known as Meena Kumari to the movie fans. The third one was a romantic queen. She was known as Nargis. All three more or less came into the movie field just about the same time. All of them started as child artistes. They shaped the industry with their charismatic personalities. They showed how to smile, how to bear pain, and how to fall in love. Their personal lives were marred with tragedies. They died very young.

They set aside thier own problems to entertain us in their own inimitable way. They ruled the Hindi film world for nearly three decades, each in her own way. In the next few months we will take a look at the songs from their albums more closely.

This thread is going to be the "Kohinoor" in the SKS crown. Can not thank you enough for starting this excellent topic. When I read your "Muse and Music" thread, the very first thought which came to my mind was why you did not include Meena Kumari ji and Madhubala ji, two of the most respected and talented artists of the golden era of Hindi films. Now you have fulfilled my dream request and and also added the ever expressive Nargis ji to this thread.

All the best wishes on this ambitious and entertaining topic you have started. Hope all the music lovers will flock to this thread and will also contribute the missing songs.

Warmest Regards
Parag
