The post-independence decade was one of hope, of a young and modern India -- struggling to break free from the shackles of the past -- and this hope was reflected in the films of the 1950s. The films of Bimal Roy and Raj Kapoor were both poignant and hopeful ; as can be seen in Naya Daur, Shree 420 and Jaagte Raho. The 1960s were a celebration of music and dance, and this was mirrored in the free style dance moves of Shammi Kapoor, and the romantic charms of Rajesh Khanna.
