In 1970s, when action movies had become the mainstream movies in Bollywood, (after being looked down upon as C grade movies in the past decades), movies with non violent storylines had taken the back seat.

Most of the songs that I post in this blog are from 1970s and earlier. After 1980s, I more or less lost track of Bollywood movies and its music. And that more or less coincided with deterioration in the quality of Bollywood songs as well.

In Bollywood movies, the main theme of the story is love between the lead actors. One variant of this theme in 1960s was love affair between a doctor and a nurse. “Dil Apna Aur Preet Paraayi” (1960) is a movie on this theme that readily comes to mind. Here Meena Kumari, the nusre has a one sided crush on Raj Kumar, the doctor.This movie and this theme must have appealed to the movie makers, because a few more movies like this followed in its wake.

The storyline of “Phagun” (1958) was clearly inspired from “Naagin” (1954).

In “Naagin”, we had Pradeep Kumar and Vyjyanti Mala in lead roles, whereas in “Phagun”, we had Bharat Bhushan and Madhubala playing the same roles.
