Some Nadira propaganda. Specifically, here she is in the 1955 film Shree 420 as the cabaret dancer Maya. I'm not entirely sure if the links will work but it is worth a shot.

Hey if you're looking for Indian Hindi-language movie recs, these are a few either considered "classics" or have a lot of international followings --

Any film by the director Satyajit Ray (essentially considered India's Scorsese/Fellini/Kurosawa/Tarkovsky/Bergman/etc, in fact several of his movies were the favorites of aforementioned directors), but especially The Apu Trilogy

Pyaasa, 1957 ("Thirster/yearner")

3 Idiots, 2009

Amar Akbar Anthony, 1977

Coolie, 1983 - fun fact, the late Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer said this movie and Amar Akbar Anthony were a couple of his favorites growing up due to their socialist and rebellion-esque themes. Here's an article about it: https://theprint.in/world/gaza-prof-alareer-killed-in-israel-airstrike-wanted-to-write-about-bollywoods-impact-on-intifada/1885631/ A lot of these 70s Hindi-language films were dubbed "angry young man" films as they often featured a young working-class anti-hero protagonist disillusioned with society or his broader circumstances.

Mother India, 1957 (as others have mentioned on your blog)

Awaara, 1951 ("The Vagabond")

Shree 420, 1955 ("Mr. 420". Note - in India, 420 doesn't mean the, er, same thing as it does in the USA. Section 420 of the Indian penal code describes punishment for fraud, so "Mr. 420" is slang for a cheater or fraud. Also, "Shree" is a very respected and formal way to say "Mr./sir" - thus making the title more ironic)

Swades, 2004 ("One's own country")

My Name is Khan, 2010

Kaagaz ke Phool, 1959 ("Paper flowers")

Lagaan, 2001 ("Taxation" especially for land/property)

Taare Zameen Par, 2007 ("Like Stars on Earth")

Hope you find some you like and enjoy!

Wow thank you for the extensive list! I'm excited you added a few from the 1950s. I love seeing different styles and norms from different periods. I have no concept of what the 50s looked like in India, so that'll be exciting for me to analyze for the first time.

I just checked, and I've got easy access to quite a few of these, so I'll definitely check them out!

SHREE 420 (1955)

[bollywoodirect]

Remembering #Sadhana Shivdasani, one of the most incredible and graceful actresses of Hindi cinema, on her 82nd birth anniversary (02/09).

Sadhana was a prominent figure in Hindi cinema and is remembered as one of its most talented actresses. Known for her striking beauty and fashion-forward style, she earned the nickname "The Mystery Girl" due to her roles in a series of suspense thrillers directed by Raj Khosla in the mid-1960s.

Originally from Karachi, Sadhana moved to Bombay with her family at the age of 7, during the partition of India. She first appeared in an uncredited role in the film Shree 420 (1955) before being mentored by director Sashadhar Mukherjee. Her breakout role came in Love In Simla (1960), where her unique hairstyle became so popular it was dubbed the "Sadhana Cut." She continued to build her reputation as a leading lady in films such as Parakh (1960), Hum Dono (1961), Asli-Naqli (1962), Ek Musafir Ek Haseena (1962), Mere Mehboob (1963), Woh Kaun Thi? (1964), Arzoo (1965), Waqt (1965), Mera Saaya (1966), and Anita (1967).

In the late 1960s, Sadhana faced health challenges due to hyperthyroidism, prompting her to temporarily step away from acting. She traveled to Boston for medical treatment and made a comeback in 1969 with two successful films, Ek Phool Do Mali and Intaqam. In 1974, she ventured into directing with the crime thriller Geetaa Mera Naam, after which she gradually retreated from acting. Her last on-screen appearance was in Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzilein (1994). She was honored with the IIFA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002.

Sadhana was married to R.K. Nayyar, the director of her film Love in Simla, on March 7, 1966. She was hospitalized at Hinduja Hospital on December 24, 2015, and passed away the following day.

Way before pigeons became messengers for loved ones, rain used to unite lovers. From the time immemorial we have seen monsoons being the best season to romance, dance, rejoice and spend best of time with yourself and others.

Taking you to the time when songs created history. Raj Kapoor’s performances worked as a magic spell on the audience and PYAAR HUA IQRAAR HUA (1955) tops the list because of its evergreen romance . This song is so beautiful and popular that you can find it in every kind of list like most romantic songs, best Hindi songs, Best Rain Songs in Bollywood etc. From  the movie Shree 420, sung by Mukesh, composed by Shankar-Jaikishen and lyrics penned by Shailendra.  EK LADKI BHEEGI BHAAGI SI (1958) is unavoidable as Kishore Kumar and Madhubala looked beautiful in this funny and quirky songs. Sung by Kishore Da himself from movie Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Music was composed by Sachin Dev Burman and Lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. DUM DUM DIGA DIGA got its name engraved in gold with Raj kapoor’s breathless performance in chhaliya (1960)

Today marks the 18th death anniversary of Nadira, the iconic actress of Hindi cinema during the 1950s and 1960s (February 9, 2006).

Nadira, also known as Florence Ezekiel, was a dominant figure in the film industry during the 1950s and 1960s. Renowned for her roles in 'Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh,' she was one of the era's most sought-after actresses, portraying both princesses and vamps. Notably, she was perhaps the first Bollywood star to be driven in a Rolls-Royce.

She is fondly remembered for her outstanding performances in films like 'Shree 420' (1955), 'Pakeezah' (1972), and 'Julie' (1975), the latter earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Originating from Nagpada in south Mumbai, Nadira was a Baghdadi Jew who made a spectacular entry into Bollywood at the age of 19 with Mehboob Khan's 'Aan' (1950), starring opposite the legendary Dilip Kumar.

Her portrayal of the villainous Maya in Raj Kapoor's 'Shree 420', where she captivated audiences with the iconic club-dance number 'Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh,' remains unforgettable to countless fans.

Additionally, the song 'Ajeeb Daastan Hai Yeh,' featuring Nadira alongside Rajkumar and Meena Kumari in 'Dil Apna Preet Parayi,' continues to be a beloved classic.

HISTORY OF STATE HAND IN BOLLYWOOD 'SUCCESS'?

This blog is not to belittle the truly great Nargis ji's stature as an artist in any way, an artist we at Indies ourselves have selected as the 3rd greatest actress of Hindi Cinema in our qualitative analysis done few months back. But this is to try understand the disparity in facts, the so-called official figures at wiki, & ones we at Indies find via at research, whatever their comparative credibility in collective public eye. And try explore if what many in oppn for long have insinuated to be a state hand in inflating Bollywood box-office reports after the show's done with, & films & personalities inflated in via route using state machinery, or not. Ever since 50's, not just mid 70's when another star connected with the powers at the helm of national affairs entered the top Bollywood fray. To those finding all this talk incomprehensible, we suggest you view the below 2 videos, whose veracity we cannot in any way know or endorse, yet of talk that's been widely in circulation for many decades, only not in mainstream media. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGDkURRZ6WU

(Whether factual or accurate or not, we cannot endorse, but this detailed film journalistic investigation speaks of Nargis's supposed bloodline with the Nehru's family)

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXzJJxZICn4

(Whether factual or accurate or not, we cannot endorse, but this detailed journalistic investigation speaks of how Indira Gandhi's sent her good old friend Teji Bachchan's son Amitabh, with a recommendation letter to Mumbai, to Sunil Dutt & Nargis's house, & how the 2 then spent many yrs as a mission trying to establish Amitabh in Bollywood in different ways as possible) Eg. 3 of Nargis ji's films, in perhaps the last 3 yrs of her lead film career, 1955-1957, namely Shree 420, Chori Chori & Mother India, that do not find a place even in the Top 1200 Box-Office Hits per Indies research, yet were promoted widely for yrs on end by media machinery, as the biggest hits of their year of release, the last one even branded about as the biggest hit of the decade no less! Yet a totally different picture, per Indies findings for whatever it's worth. Now if insinuated correctly from Rajesh Khanna's coded last messages, this sorta fudging of bo figures was on in an organized way post Emergency times, used moreso as hawala route by nefarious elements. And the unnatural & almost weird media hooplah generated around one man from late 70s, skillful & successful no doubt, yet seemingly humongously inflated by media coterie, for reasons we perhaps now begin to understand, only decades later, even if not in personal gain, or not the 2nd angle here at all.. I know it doesn't behoove us commoners to try seemingly belittle artists we wouldn't hold a candle to, yet a blog about possible state collusion in promoting 'family businesses' in so-called pvt enterprise otherwise. And not just to nitpick on a few, but as we at Indies have found to be more than handful instances of large-scale disparities on account of diff film people, we at Indies find unnecessary to create controversy around. Only to figure out state interference, outside gen biz machinations.. Similar instance as blogged on earlier here, of Master Bhagwan, who despite clearly huge popularity among masses, far far greater to any of their other blue-eyed stars, with due respect, was blacked out all career by state-owned media who surely couldn'tv been oblivious to his massive grass root success, despite not being their 'party type'!? a. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hindi_films_of_1955 b. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hindi_films_of_1956 c. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hindi_films_of_1957
