Singing In The Sin

This music video is the outcome of an Open Elective course 'Singing In The Sin' offered at NID, Ahmedabad, India by Arun Gupta and Prahlad Gopakumar in January, 2020, around the theme of Bollywood Cabaret song & dance, especially of the late 60s and early 70s. Through a detailed examination of the concepts of sin, seduction and sexuality, and gender stereotypes, the Open Elective course explored the notions of the prohibited and the enticing, in Indian Art, Society and Culture, and of course Bollywood. It looked at in awe at the personalities of Helen, Bindu, Padma Khanna, Mumtaz, Sharmila Tagore, and other cine actor/dancers of that era, as embodiments of an ahead of their times feminine assertion and projection.
