Songs in Hindi Movies are famous for their diverse and rich musical compositions. There are innumerable beautiful and melodious songs from Hindi movies spanning several decades that have captured the imagination of people.
The songs have played an integral part in Indian movies; they contribute significantly to the film’s storytelling and emotional resonance and add to the entertainment value.
The locations of these songs are carefully chosen to enhance the visual appeal of the songs and evoke a sense of charm, beauty, or nostalgia. Meanwhile, for the storyline, directors of the movie generally stick to film sets created based on the storyline, but the songs are generally shot in picturesque landscapes such as mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. These natural settings provide a stunning backdrop for lyrical expressions of love and longing.
Talking about natural settings, how can we not talk about the gardens? The mesmerizing colors of the flowers have served as a backdrop for many Hindi songs. In fact, many of these garden locations have become famous after a movie song has been picturized.
Brindavan Gardens in Mysore has played host to many Hindi songs like ‘Mere Naina’ from 1976 Mehbooba and ‘Keh Do Ki Tum’ from the 1988 movie Tezaab.
The Mughal Gardens in Srinagar has provided an amazing backdrop to songs like ‘Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Man Mera’ from the 1969 movie Aradhana and ‘Tum Se Achcha Kaun Hai’ from the movie Janwar. The filmmakers have explored gardens not just in India but also in foreign countries.
