Itni badi mehfil aur ek dil kisko doon
Posted by: Atul on: December 4, 2011
When I was first exposed to Hindi movies as a young kid in 1960s, I noticed that the hero and heroine seemed to be the most miserable characters in the movie who looked sad and unhappy, and suffered at the hands of the villain (and/ or the society ) throughout the movie.

Iss adaa se salaam lete hain

While Helen rules the roost as the phenomena of the dance number in Hindi films, there came a phase in the 1960s and 70s, when a number of contenders stepped in to the arena of dance item exponents. As the dance number became progressively an important ingredient of the formula, especially a cabaret, and then especially in the ‘cloak and dagger’ type of films, the demand for dance item experts increased.
