Bollywood has always had a love affair with songs. From the timeless classic “Jab Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya” in Mughal-e-Azam to Yash Raj Films’ romantic hits, songs in Indian movies are more than just part of the story—they are a celebration.
Directors like Karan Johar and Yash Chopra continue to treat every song like a festival, shooting in breathtaking locations, creating lavish sets worth millions, and featuring the voices of top singers—making music an essential highlight of every film.
But did you know a 1932 film still holds the world record for the most songs in a movie—an astonishing 93 years later?
According to News18, “Indra Sabha”, directed by Minilal Joshi, ran for 211 minutes—over three and a half hours—and included a total of 72 songs. Some reports mention 69 or 71, but Guinness World Records confirmed it as the highest number of songs ever in a single film.
“Indra Sabha” was not just a movie; it was a musical revolution where every song told a story and music itself played a character. This 1932 masterpiece remains legendary for cinema and music lovers worldwide.
Produced under the banner of J.F. Madan, the film starred Jahar Ara, Kusum Bai, and Master Nisar. Jahar Ara, daughter of the famous courtesan and singer Signe Begum, added her remarkable voice to this musical marvel.
