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. |

SP..another of finest pictures. I discovered this movie recently and to my great pleasure found the movie to be as contemporary as today's films. Bimal Da, one of my favorite directors poured his heart out for this film. Made on a shoe string budget no doubt, it creates a lasting magic.
Just to narrate the story...one day in a rural village, the local post master receives a cheque for Rupees five lakhs sent by a person who hailed from that village and now is settled abroad. The purpose is for the upliftment of the village..The little note sent along with cheque discloses that and leaves the onus on the post master to select a person who can do justice to the monies involved ! The hapless postman who is very honest calls up a meeting with the local Zamindar, priest, Teacher and Showcar ( merchant ) and narrates the purpose. Now, the teacher suggests that there should be a voting to select the person who can disburse the amount for the genuine cause... Then starts the rat race between the contestants even as the benefactor keeps on looking at the circus going around surreptiously.. Woven into this interesting story is the love story of the school master with the village belle sadhana.. She looks lovely in this film. where is meaningful cinema gone these days?? i wonder...and what happened to the wonderful music? Btw, i have a better copy of " mila hai kisi ka jhumka" courtesy a dear friend. Uploading the same for you all. SP...needless to say, your zeal and the films you pick are exemplary ! thanks a lot. Mila hai kisi ka jhumka Parakh Lata Salil Chowdhury mp3, 128 kbps, 2.48 min After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
