Career
Haider broke into films with the father-son duo Roshan Lal Shorey and Roop Kumar Shorey, and then A.R. Kardar gave him the opportunity to compose music for the 1935 film, ''Swarg Ki Seerhi''. But he got his first big breakthrough with D.M. Pancholi's Punjabi film, ''Gul-E-Bakavali'' (1939) starring Noor Jehan

and Ghulam Haider himself caused a revolution in music composing. By then Music Directors of the 1930s, who had composed film songs set in classical ragas, were beginning to sound commonplace. ''Khazanchi's'' refreshingly 'free wheeling music' not only took the audiences by storm but also made other film music directors sit up and take notice. With this film, Ghulam Haider ensured that the Indian film song would never be the same again. Khandan Khandan may refer to:
