This is the earliest example when a woman id being coerced to sing and dance on screen. There is a threat of violence actual violence in the form of the bad guy stepping on her foot and she can be seen in pain and her singing reflects it.

From the book Behind The Curtain by G D Booth:
Shankar Indorkar: He [Rahman] says, “Just you play something. Play
anything. Just open the cor anglais and play something.” I didn’t understand.
I say, “What key? At least tell me something!” But he says, “Play
anything, whatever you want.” So I played something, nothing, just something.
Maybe half an hour. From low to high on both instruments (oboe
and English horn). Whatever I could think. And he just recorded everything.
So it got to be about two o’clock in the morning, and then he says,
“Okay, pack up.” I didn’t understand what was going on. He paid me, and
I went back [to Mumbai]. And after that he never called me. Because he
had all my sounds. So you could say he has me.
I guess that's post-modern creativity :)
Now you know!
I do have about 2,000 more songs from 1931-1960 to post. Trying to get permission from the friend who gave them to me. In the meantime, posting songs from films.
