Yes, Bollywood romance and beauty of Kashmir were synonymous in the 1960s and 70s. Kashmir, the northernmost Himalayan state of India, is not just a tourist destination but a shooting location too. Most of the evergreen romantic numbers in the Bollywood albums of the golden era of Indian Cinema were picturized on the blissful moments of love in the snow-clad and lush green locales of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/tag\/jammu-kashmir\/\">Jammu &amp; Kashmir<\/a>, in different seasons of the year. <strong>Indian Eagle<\/strong> sets the clock back to retell the romantic stories of Kashmir on celluloid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/kashmir-in-bollywood-movies-of-1960s.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/kashmir-in-bollywood-movies-of-1960s.jpg?w=547\" alt=\"bollywood films shooting in kashmir, kashmir in bollywood movies of 1960s, romantic songs in kashmir\" width=\"547\" height=\"438\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kashmir was the prime shooting location of the Bollywood films starring Shammi Kapoor in the 1960s. The first half of the movie <em><strong>Junglee<\/strong><\/em>, released in 1961, was shot in the snow-clad mountainous locales of Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir where Shammi Kapoor\u2019s humorless character fell in love and became crazy. Kashmir became a popular tourist destination with the popularity of the song<strong> \u201cYahoo! Chahe mujhe koi junglee kahe\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8220;Yeh chaand sa roshan chehra&#8221;<\/strong>, an eternal romantic song which has been wooing hearts for generations, still endears the quintessential picturesqueness of Kashmir to lovers. The song from the music album of <strong><em>Kashmir ki Kali<\/em> <\/strong>released in 1964 was filmed on the shimmering waters of Dal Lake in the background. The heroine clad in the ethnic outfit of a Kashmiri girl is sitting in a boat, and the hero is wooing her from another boat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is Kashmir where the love story of a pretty girl and a skiing champion begins rolling in Arzoo, a 1965 Bollywood classic. The first half of the film was shot in the snow-clad hilly landscape of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/tag\/kashmir\/\">Kashmir<\/a>. The romantic number &#8220;<strong>Ae Nargise Mastana&#8221;<\/strong> from the music album of <strong><em>Arzoo<\/em><\/strong> was picturized in rhyme with the natural bliss of Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sensuous beauty of Kashmir makes two strangers fall in love irrespective of their different socio-economic backgrounds. This is the love story of a young boatman who owns a houseboat on Dal Lake and a city-bred, fashion-conscious girl in<strong><em> Jab Jab Phool Khile<\/em><\/strong>, a 1965 Bollywood blockbuster. The Himalayan landscape of Kashmir served as the backdrop of the popular song <strong>\u201cPardesiyon se na akhiyaan milana.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kashmir in its glory was enticingly shot in <strong><em>Mere Sanam<\/em><\/strong>, another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/tag\/bollywood\/\">Bollywood<\/a> blockbuster in 1965. <strong>\u201cPukaarta chala hoon main\u201d<\/strong>, one of the most romantic melodies of the 1960s in Rafi\u2019s soulful voice, was picturized on the lead pair in the picturesque locales of Kashmir. The hero is seen wooing his ladylove, while the other girls around them are cycling along the slender, sloping zigzags.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The autumnal beauty of Kashmir was best captured in many frames of the movie <strong><em>Jaanwar<\/em><\/strong> starring Shammi Kapoor and Rajshree in the lead. The hilly being of Kashmir seemed to echo the eloquence of the song <strong>\u201cTumse achha kon hain\u201d<\/strong> in praise of the heroine\u2019s beauty in the movie. The landscape with golden brown chinar leaves strewn here and there is a visual attraction of the song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kashmir retains the same beguiling beauty and bucolic bliss as in the 1960s. Visit the Paradise on earth and live the love moments of Bollywood\u2019s \u201cold is gold\u201d romantic songs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/\">IndianEagle.com<\/a> <strong>will book cheap flights to India for you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cKashmir in Bollywood and Bollywood in Kashmir\u201d.
