Oh, the golden age...

The reading in the last few days about the aftermath of the loss of one of the revered figures of the Indian industry just brings to mind these thoughts.

Mr. Bachchan in his blog has put forth some somber thoughts as well of the days gone by.

Yes, the days gone by in the Indian industry were different...Shri Shammi Kapoor ji was indeed a one of a kind actor, performer and dancer.

Films like the ones he made weren't that technically sound, no special effects et al and formulaic too, but had a soul and reflected Indian culture...And the music was one of the best...

There are some good films been made now, experimental ones, but the ratio is skewed. Originality in actors is difficult to find...


Time to go down memory lane a bit when there were real and original men and women...
These are unforgettable melodies rendered powerfully with beautiful lyrics that hold a lot of meaning ...Not too many songs of today have this kind of staying power...

And there are so many wonderful and beautifully picturized songs!!!
