Elogy a la Indienne!


Music has been an integral part of Indian Cinema and still continues in a direction of eternity! One of the best and most important factors is that its an aboriginal element of the Indian Cinema!

There is not a single emotion or a relationship that is not touched by Bollywood songs. If we discount that all songs depict emotions and only challenge the relationship factor, Bollywood songs beat all other types hands down. Relationships like - Lovers, parents, siblings, friends, students-teachers... You name it and Bollywood has it... The chances of meeting an Indian who does not appreciate Bollywood music, are extremely thin as its rather difficult to single out a person who doesn't have any relationships in his life! ;-)

A rather rare elogy by a woman! I love this song for its lyrics and of course because it has Meena Kumari as the protagonist! :-)

में विद्रोही हूँ उत्पीड़क सत्ता को ललकार रहा हूँ  खूब समझता हूँ में खुद ही अपनी मौत पुकार रहा हूँ  मेरे शोणितकी लालीसे कुछ तो लाल धरा हो...
