I don't think this word has ever been used in Hindi films anywhere else.

Everybody has this song in their collection.mp3

Narsingh 738 

Here is the only song featuring this word. Of, it was the name of a character. Towards the end, Rafi joins in and if you see the video, he is on screen also. It is song number 125 in the Audio Files section of the tribute to Saigal by M V Surender

Before this song, I had not heard just single hits or thumps on a drum, probably not tabla.
