Today, more than a year after Melody Queen Noor
Jehan's death, Naseebo Lal has succeeded in
establishing her voice and name on the screens of
Punjabi cinema.
Naseebo
Lal's voice closely resembles that of Late Noorjahan. From
Wajahat Atrey to Tafu, composers who had until yesterday
composed for Madam Noor Jehan, are now making tunes for
Naseebo. From Reema to Saima, heroines whose dancing
careers had risen and fallen with the slightest twitch
of the vocal strings of Malika-e-Tarannum, are now
dancing joyously over songs sung by Naseebo Lal. She is
going strong with her ' Kaddi Te Hans Bol Wey, Na Jind
Saddee Rol Wey (Dada Badmash), Wichrran Wichrran Karna
Ain (Wehshi Jat), Waddey Bol Boley Banda (Babbo Khan).
Counters at music wholesale and retail shops overall the
country are doing a running business with her cassettes
and CDs. From tributes for Madam Noor Jehan, to prime
time television shows, she is making her appearances
everywhere. Distributors of Punjabi movies, who in the
80s and 90s just wouldn't pick a movie without Noor
Jehan's numbers, are fast becoming dependent on
Naseebo's vocals. Like her predecessor, she too is
making them roll in gold and all over again.
