Long long ago is the land of Bollywood, the heroine has always been pure as a petal, pavitra bhartiya naari, while the vamp was always naughty, immodest, somebody who drank and smoked, women who represented couger-town!
That was a role immortalized by Helen. Bindu, Aruna Irani and Padma Khaana among others went on essay similar roles.
All that changed with the entry of Zeenat Aman and Praveen Babi, free-spirited woman who were on the right side of morality but saw no contradiction in downing liquor and flaunting their voluptuous bodies!
The best phase of Bollywood dawned with a new era of modern actresses - The 80s and 90s. Madhuri's songs like "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga" and "Choli Ke Peeche" were such a rage that audiences galore these actresses.
These were the early days of a trend now called an item number - the now smashing "Munni Badman," "Sheila Ki Jawani" are just skimpier segments of the train top dance, "Chaiyya Chaiyya" and Urmila Matondkar's "Chamma Chamma". Both these songs were part of flop films - Dil Se and China Gate, but these songs set feet tapping and hearts on fire.
All through the 2000s this trend only developed with films even as sane as Munna Bhai MBBS taking such an approach.
This decade has seen this trend as an indispensible aspect of the any modern film.
With top notch actresses daunting legs and flashing cleavages, where is Bollywood really headed is something we need to worry about!
