Have a story to tell? A theme to work on? An emotion to express? A mood to paint? Easy. You can do all this and more with Hindi film songs. For musical stories or theme-based songs or lyrical expressions of moods or...whatever, this promises to be a fun-filled ride. Come, get on the bandwagon!

Costume Drama: Gore Gore Haathon Mein Mehndi Racha Ke

Here is a sweet little song from "Parineeta" (1953), based on a Bengali novel of the same name written in 1914 by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Ashok Kumar and Meena Kumari starred in this film. Several adaptations of the novel were made into films subsequently, but this version is thought of as the most faithful by many. Not surprising, given that Bimal Roy was the director.

I wish I could find a clearer video, but it does not seem to be available.

Singer: Asha Bhosle
Lyrics: Bharat Vyas
Music: Arun Kumar Mukherjee
