आया नया ज़माना

'Aaya Naya Zamana' is the title song of Naya Zamana (1943) and shares its name with the film. Title songs of this period typically carry the picture's thesis — here, the arrival of a 'new age' (naya zamana), the reform-and-modernity theme that ran through wartime Bombay social dramas. It was set to music by the film's composing pair, Ramchandra Pandey and Damodar Sharma.

Composed by Ramchandra Pandey and Damodar Sharma. As a title number announcing a 'new age', it would most likely have been built as an upbeat, march-like or chorus-driven anthem rather than an intimate solo — a forward-leaning, optimistic register suited to the film's reformist title.
