The movie Kismet in 1943 was the most significant of her illustrious career. The film starring Ashok Kumar as the hero broke all previous box office records and, besides celebrating many jubilees all over India, ran for 3 years in a single theatre in Calcutta — a record that has been broken only by Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay in the seventies and later by Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Almost all the songs: "Dheerey Dheerey Aa Re Baadal" (with Ashok Kumar and Ameer Bai), "Papiha Re" (with Parul Ghosh), "Aaj Himalay Ki Choti Se" (with Amir Bai and Chorus), "Ab Tere Siwa Kaun Mera" (with Ameer Bai), "Ghar Ghar Mein Diwali Hai" (with Ameer Bai) became a rage throughout the country.

Mumtaz Shanti was married to Wali Mohammad Khan (Wali Saheb), a film director and writer in pre-partition Bollywood. They both moved to Pakistan in early 1950s. Wali Saheb died in 1977.

Mumtaz Shanti died unknown and unsung in Pakistan in 1989.
