But, what about the ones we have. has anybody watched them carefully? Well, I have and I found two examples before 1951. And, lest you say that the Awara dream sequence has a song, my examples also have songs. One is song number 2 from Bawre Nain (1950). The other is from 1941 Padosi! If you have the film, watch it, it is after song 10, uTh meree pyaaree.
