Nineteen Fifty-six, the track from Anari, was about how people’s preferences had changed in the
three-year-period between 1956 and 1959, the Lat(a)ter being the year the film released.
The Shankar
Jaikishan composition, which was penned by Shailendra, was four minutes and 59
seconds long.
It referred to the
‘evolution’ of women’s attire [one of its lines was, “Saadi se choli” (which means, “from the sari to the blouse”)], and
was predictive [as was evidenced by the lines, “Fashion badhenge, kapde ghatenge” (Fashions will evolve and clothes
will shorten).]
Manna Dey and Ms
Mangeshkar rendered it.
