Saigal- with his drooping lock of hair falling out carelessly from his protruding hat and wandering aimlessly, gun in hand, looking for birds to shoot –epitomised the tragic hero to perfection and became an overnight sensation throughout the country. His ‘Dukh ke din bitat nahin’, Balam aye baso’, and Piya bina nahin avat chain’ wrenched the hearts of millions of cine-goers. The latter thumri had been popularized by Ustad Abdul Karim Khan who, incidentally had wept uncontrollably like a child on hearing Saigal’s rendition on his first ever visit to a cinema hall.)
