Trivia

Album

• It is likely that "Sathi" (1946) is Majrooh Sultanpuri's first Hindi film and not this film as popularly believed. While "Sathi" (1946) was certified on May 6 1946, this film was certified later - on July 18 of the same year. Similarly, since record numbers were issued sequentially, it appears that records of his song in "Sathi" (1946) - "Dukhiya Ki Bhi Sun Lo Bhagwan Tum Hi Ho" - were released before the songs of "Shahjehan" (1946). The record number of "Dukhiya Ki Bhi Sun Lo Bhagwan Tum Hi Ho" was GE 3665 and the record numbers of Majrooh's songs in this film were in the GE 37* series. "Keemat" (1946), the third Majrooh film in 1946, was certified on October 4 1946 and its music records were in the GE 38* series.[1][2]

Song

• Mere Sapnon Ki Rani Roohi Roohi Roohi - This was the only film song in which K.L. Saigal and Mohammed Rafi were credited together.
• Jab Dil Hi Toot Gaya - K.L. Saigal's fondness for alcohol was legendary. In his later years, he would sing only after downing a peg of his favorite drink, which called Kaali Paanch. In fact, he was convinced he sang better after drinking. For this iconic song though, Naushad insisted that he sing sober. Saigal countered that he would sing two versions - one before and one after drinking - and would pick the better. The version he picked turned out to be the sober version. A rueful Saigal told Naushad that he wished they had worked together earlier. Saigal passed away the very next year, succumbing to liver cirrhosis.
