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. |

Hamlet (1954)
Kishore Sahu's "Hamlet (1954)" was Mala Sinha's first breakthrough movie in Hindi. This was the movie in which her performance was noticed by cinegoers and reviewers alike. The music for this film was composed by Ramesh Naidu. An informative write up and some of his Hindi film work was brought to our attention by Mahesh in his fine thread "Ramesh Naidu - the Andhra Giant, his hindi filmography" in "Sangeet Ke Sitarey" section. Per this thread there are five songs in this movie. Two of these were uploaded by Mahesh. You can access these songs at the following path ... http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?show...=76587&st=6 Apart from these two, thanks to Mahesh for these two, I don't have any other songs. I am requesting members to share these if they can. This post has been edited by swarapriya: Jun 12 2009, 09:14 PM |
