A Saigal song

 You must be rubbing your eyes. I always knew this song as a Saigal solo. This was my favourite among iconic KL Saigal solos. Surely this has to figure in the main section of the best male solos in the year. But listen to the song carefully, someone calls Soordasji and sings the last line Soor Shyam bhatko mat dar dar, kholo man ke dwaare. This is clearly sung by another voice. A comment in the YT link mentions that this line is sung by Saigal’s younger brother Mohinder Saigal who also played the role of Shri Krishna in the film. It is sad that this film is no longer available.
