Some time ago, Abhay Indori posted on the RMIM group a video having this label and the song
More Aanganaa Men Toraa Kiyaa Kaam by Miss Sheeela.
Soon many of us started seeing posts on WhatsApp, Facebook and elsewhere about this song, saying that this was recorded in 1883!
That number 1833 is NOT the year of the recording, in fact the date/year was not written on the 78s until the late sixties.
As any reputable site (eg Wikipedia or the Yale University Music Library) can tell you that it is the Matrix or the Master number of the record.
In fact, there is a hint about the year in the words, Electric Sound System, at the bottom. Before 1925 was the Acoustic Era where the artists spoke or sang into the acoustic horn familiar from old gramophone machines. After that they used a microphone.
Knowledgeable people tell me that Miss Sheela sang in the late 30s or early 40.

This Hindi film appears to be a dubbed version of the Telugu film Veer Abhimanyu (1965). In the Hindi version, there are 6 songs of which 4 are available in the video. With help from friends like UVR, I have been able to identify many actors. However, these three remain unknown to me.
Please help me identify them.
The first two are singing the song, Chhaliyaa Kapatee Gopiyon Waale Aa Re. NT Ramarao is onscreen as Krishna.
Let us call them Female 1 and Female 2.
This one is a maid or friend of Uttara played by Kaanchanaa, who is singing the song, Kisne Chhoo Liyaa Naaazuk Tan Haaye Raam.
Let us call her Female 3.
Please help me know!
