Hindi Film and Music

ORIGINAL SOURCE

Apart from the fact that music accounts for much of the power of Hindi movies, creating a heightened mood that dialogue can rarely achieve, the film song spreads out from cinema to permeate many other areas of Indian society. Even before the advent of cheap audiocassettes, in the days when record players were rare and expensive, film songs achieved far-reaching popularity through street singers and wedding bands, which often played film hits rather than folk or traditional tunes. And the songs, with their inventive Hindi/Urdu lyrics, often written by celebrated poets, have long been a bonding force in the Indian diaspora, re-creating a familiar world of images and emotions and linking millions of people to their homeland.

From Kabir, Nasreen Munni. “Playback Time: A Brief History of Bollywood ‘Film Songs.’” Film Comment May-June 2002, p. 41-42. The source passage is from page 41.
