Top Ten Hindi Musical Movies

The link between music and Indian cinema has never faltered. Alam Ara, a musical directed by Ardeshir Irani Khan Bahadur Ardeshir Irani, popularly known as Ar >> Read More... in 1931, was the first Indian talkie to originate from one of the studios established in Bombay that would soon come to be known collectively as Bollywood. It had seven song sequences, with the tune "De De Khuda Ke Naam Per" becoming a household name, and was promoted as "All talking, all singing, all dancing." Sadly, it is no longer in existence.This early fusion of music and visuals laid the groundwork for the musical powerhouse that Bollywood is today. As Indian cinema developed, song and dance remained important components. Indian cinema flourished during the 1940s and 1950s, with classics like Mother India (1957) and Andaz (1949) continuing to use music as a key story device.

Although every fan of Bollywood has their personal favorites, here is a list of 10 timeless Mumbai musicals that Nettv4u thinks are among the best.
