Essay hindi movie

The birth of the Indian film song may be traced to the advent of India’s first sound motion picture in 1931. Between 1931 and 1940, India produced 931 Hindi feature films with an average of 10 songs per film. The numbers for the regional films were much lower, but the orientation towards music was similar.

Between 1931 and 1940, India produced 931 Hindi feature films with an average of 10 songs per film. The numbers for the regional films were much lower, but the orientation towards music was similar. In the 1930s, many of the original actors and actresses sang their own songs.

Today, Hindi film music or filmy sangeet is not as well-defined as it once was. Songs do not fit the context of the scenes in the film any longer. A song and dance sequence is introduced just for the sake of introducing it: to appeal to the masses and rake in the moolah.

Songs conveyed a meaning owing to their rich lyrics. Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shailendra, Kafi Azmi, Pradeep and Gopal Das Neeraj were some of the leading lyricists of the 1950s. Geeta Dutt, Talat Mehmood, Mukesh, Manna Dey were great singers who, in company with the music directors and the lyricists, produced everlasting melodies.
