Muse & Music
Most film loving folks think that the music made for films from 50’s through 80’s represents golden age of music. This may be debatable. However, one thing is certain. Several great musicals emerged during this period and we saw the rise of many singing legends during this time. One way to take a closer look at the music of the Golden Age is to look into the period through the female stars who were popular in this time frame. Because it is just about impossible to cater for all the stars, I came to a conclusion that probably the following 12 stars will sufficiently represent movies that are part of this golden era. These are: Asha Parekh Hema Malini Mala Sinha Mumtaz Nutan Rekha Sadhana Saira Banu Sharmila Tagore Vyjayanti Mala Waheeda Rehman Zeenat Aman Others may come up with a different list. But for the music of the Golden Age I want to share with our fellow members these stars probably make a fair representation. Let us look at filmographies of these actresses and see if we can come to some conclusions. I will present the filmographies in the order listed above. |

Nutan
Nutan started as a child actress but soon found adult roles. Her first adult role was as Laila in “Laila Majnu”. But it was the movie “Seema” that brought her fame and recognition. She acted in many movies in late 50’s and 60’s. Several of them were huge musical hits. Nutan originally wanted to be a playback singer. She had an excellent voice. She sang some of the songs in the movie “Chhabili”. She was crowned Miss India in 1952 and her good looks made her accept acting assignments. She was noted for her sensitive portrayals and is the recipient of maximum number (five) of Filmfare awards. This record is still unbroken for female performers. Here is the first part of her filmography … Attached image(s) |
