“Chacha Chawdhary” (1953) was one of the earlier movies of Madan Mohan as a music director.

I am not sure what the movie was like, but it seems to me that Mr X, the main character of this movie could become invisible, just like the hero of “Mr India” (1987).

In Bollywood movies, western music was used as early as 1940s itself. Early pioneers of this kind of music were C Ramchandra, Vinod etc.
