There has been very few Hindi films produced with the main theme of Indian classical dances. As far as I know, the first Hindi film with Indian classical dances as the main theme was Uday Shankar’s ‘Kalpana’ (1948) in which his wife, Amla Shankar was in the lead role of a classical dancer. This was followed by V Shantaram’s ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) in which his then future wife, Sandhya was in the lead role of a classical dancer along the Gopikrishna. Another Hindi film I remember is ‘Naache Mayuri’ (1986) which was more like a biographical film on the classical dancer, Sudha Chandran who lost her leg but continued her dancing career after lot of efforts. In this film, Sudha Chandran acted as herself.

There may be a few more films with the omnibus dance theme. I was aware of the film, ‘Paayal Ki Jhankaar, (1980) but, until recently, I did not know that this film was also made with the main theme of Indian classical dances. Perhaps, my mind about this film may have been prejudiced by another film with the same name released in 1968.

So it is that day again. The day when we reach a blog century. Though the going is quite slow now a days, still we are regular (no DOT days since 2020) and so we keep clocking our blog centuries every five to six weeks or so.

This article is blog post number 16200. This century took us exactly 50 days to reach.

Basics of classical music-part V

(Genres of classical compositions and gharanas)
—————————————————-

Several regular contributors of this blog have their own series of songs going on in the blog. Some of these series are like express trains that appear at fixed intervals. On the other hand, there are some series that are more like special trains that have no fixed schedules and they run at irregular intervals. Readers may or may not follow these series, but these series mean something to their authors themselves.

It turns out that I too have one such series of articles that appears irregularly. This series is called “Series on Basics of music”. Four articles have so far appeared in the series. Part I appeared on 21 may 2015 and the fourth part was on 17 june 2015.
