Main Article Content
Abstract
Music is a universal phenomenon shared by all in society irrespective of their caste, class, gender, age and other social affiliations. It is not new and it has rather existed on earth since times immemorial! People may have several views about music. Some consider it as "language of emotions" while others enjoy music for gaining a "liberating power" which frees them from the routine dullness of the existing world and transports them to a world of unparalleled relaxation and peace. While the fundamentals of music can be traced back to our ancient culture. However, film music has remained deeply entrenched in our culture throughout all times. The objective of this study is to highlight the evaluation of Hindi Film Music since the 1940s to present day. Pieces of data picked from the relevant periods have been studied closely to draw observations on the evolutions and cultural impacts of Hindi film music.
