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.

(Meena) Leatherface (1939)

This was Meena Kumari's first movie as a child artiste. Its another name was "Farzand-E-Watan". It was directed by Vijay Bhatt who will later make Meena Kumari a household name with his "Baiju Bawra (1952)". This movie starred besides Meena Kumari, Mehtab and Jairaj in the lead. It has a pair of music directors; Lallubhai Nayak and Shakarrao.

Unfortunately I do not have a single song from this movie. I am requesting the Forum members to share the songs of this album if they have them. Thanks.
