प्रेम परीक्षा

A social romantic drama produced by Eastern Art and directed by G.R. Sethi, Prem Pariksha featured the celebrated kotha singer and entertainer Jaddanbai in a lead singing-acting role. The film contained thirteen songs; Jaddanbai personally sang four of them — Kaisi Vaah Dhoom Machaai Kanahiya, Range-e-Mehfil Na Raha, Kaisi Pyaari Suratiya Tumhari and Charkhe Na Hanzaar — establishing her screen persona as a singer-actress of rare classical depth.

Chandi Ram composed thirteen songs; Jaddanbai's four songs brought the thumri-ghazal refinement of the kotha tradition to an Eastern Art production; the remaining songs were distributed among other cast members.

Jaddanbai, Nargis's mother, was one of the premier singer-actresses of the early talkie period; her four songs in this film document the kotha-classical vocal tradition on the commercial film screen.
