Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Archive for the ‘Dance song’ Category

And the interesting thing about these songs are, they are sung by different singers (more or less). Just imagine five outstanding songs in a movie sung by Rafi, Lata, Manna Dey, Mukesh ans Suman Kalyanpur !

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.

The saga of Hindi films will never be complete without the discussion of the “formula” that used to be, and continues to be, followed by the production banners. More often than not, once a film became a hit, and brought profits for the producers, generally there used to be a spate of new productions trying to imitate the theme, the storyline, and the main attractive ingredients of that successful film, in an effort to duplicate that success. Over a period of time, such duplications would get refined into a list of specific ingredients that should be part of a film production strategy. Besides the components of the storyline, and type of characters and the list of events that should form part of the film, a main item of consideration was the type of music and songs that a film should contain.
