Sometimes the directors of Hindi films will put across really strange scenarios, that one does not really expect to see in the films, especially in the formula or near formula films that are a hallmark of the Indian film industry. Now, think of Helen, and the very first thing that will come to mind is a dance song. In a variety of dance forms, whether that be a folk dance (a handful), a classical (very very few indeed), a fun song (very many) or a cabaret dance (a huge number), when one sees Helen on the screen, she is singing a song, and dancing. Some time back on a particular post, we came across a Helen dance song in which she is not singing herself, someone else is. In response, others readers identified more such songs where Helen did not sing, while she was dancing on the screen.

Greetings to all on the 5501st post for this blog. You may wonder, what is special that I am highlighting the 5501st post. Yes something special in this one. Readers may have noticed that over the past few days, Atul ji and I have been posting songs by N Dutta at a very fast pace. The reason of course was we planned to coincide the century post for N Dutta with the 5500th song on this blog.

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. To fill in a void that was probably beyond the bandwidth of Helen’s availability, the opportunities were taken up by actresses whose names became synonymous with sizzling dance numbers on the screen, and they made a place for themselves in the B/C grade films. The leaders in this group of actresses are Bela Bose, Faryaal, Lakshmi Chhaayaa, and JaishreeT. In their own right, these dancers have carved out a niche in the annals of Hindi films dance item.
