When I was a young boy I never quite understood why a movie was often referred to with the director’s name attached to it.

Yet they would invariably be attached to the director, as if he owned the movie.

Party songs/club songs where a female dancer sings and dances became a staple diet of Hindi movies in 1950s. Geeta Dutt was one of the first (if not the first) singer who sang such songs. As for the actors on whom such songs were picturised, there were many, ranging from dancers (Cuckoo, for instance) to heroines (Geeta Bali, for instance). Quite a few of these songs became very popular.

Songs in which actors, especially male actors would accuse female actors of “bewafaayi” were quite common in Hindi movies. Such songs would often be sung in isolation, but often such songs would be sung in get together/ parties too. The male actor would go on with his accusation and the female would feel embarrased as well as guilty in full public view. The public, viz the other participants in the party would consist of people standing/ sitting in their positions like statues.
