The evolving Bollywood heroine

When PH & I were looking for "Chota Rajkumar", one of our stops was Odyssey in Indiranagar. Here we came across some Hindi movies in the DVD section, and when I was giving him my thoughts on the evolution of Bollywood cinema, he had a brainwave of arranging the DVDs in chronological order and clicking a picture.


From left to right:
a) Daag (1952) -> only the faces of the actresses are shown
b) Abhimaan (1973) -> the actress is shown fully covered
c) Beta (1992) -> the actress seems to shedding her clothes a little
d) Fashion (2008) -> much bolder actresses (wonder where the heroes vanished)
