I have discussed several songs from “Naagin” (1954) in the past, six to be exact. But this movie had so many songs in it that a few songs are still at large and remain to be posted.

When one talks of the movie “Nadiya Ke Paar”, one normally thinks of the Rajshree Productions movie of 1983. But there was another movie of the same name that was released as way back as in 1948.

I have noticed that older Hindi movies (early 1950s and before) were far more liberal and open minded than the movies that followed. For instance, many scenes that began to be looked down upon as against Indian culture (viz kissing, swimming etc) were quite common in earlier movies. Not just that, hypocritical stands like heroines refusing to do swimming scenes is a recent phenomenon of 1970s because it was considered “exposing” their bodies. The fact that the heroines who took such stand did not have exposable may also have influenced their stand.

One of the category of songs that are found quite commonly in Hindi movies is what I call “Chhaayaageet” songs. These are romantic songs where words like “chaand”, “raat etc. are used quite generously. The best time to listen to such songs are at late night when the world in asleep and one can see the moom in the sky in its full glory.

What is the best stage of one’s life to enjoy Hindi movies ? At the age of 5-6 years, you are too young to realise what is going on, and at the age of 15-16, you have learnt to think logically, and you are then required to become mature and responsible. Neither state of affairs is desirable if you want to enjoy Hindi movies.

In this blog, most of the songs that I post are from the era prior to 1970. In reality, I grew up as a Hindi movie music listener from late 1960s and entire 1970s, and in those days I liked new songs, which meant songs from 1968 onwards.
