This is Helen at about 19. I think she is so fresh, young, and lovely
here!! She went on to dance in at least 500 movies, and eventually to
become the stepmother of Salman Khan. This movie (Howrah Bridge) is a
lovely one, too, a Bollywood Film Noir with wonderful songs picturised on
Madhubala.

Bollywood, specially the older Bollywood, does not get enough credit. The
music and dances specially are amazing and will stand up to any in the
whole world.

kay, if you go to the imdb movie database website, you can see the list of actresses in the film, and Helen is clearly in it. Also, if you look up Helen's biography, this song was a big break for her. The song was SUNG by Geeta Dutt, but please remember the Bollywood tradition of having a singer simply sing the song, but an actress lip synch it. So, in anycase, it's not Geeta Dutt shown in the film.

Also, Geeta Dutt, the Bengali singer, did NOT look like that, whereas Helen, the Anglo/Burmese Bollywood actress, does. Don't say it's not Helen without doing some research.

Just to provide some clarity, I'll just add this, I know it's easy to get confused with the Bollywood stuff, but rarely, if ever, is the actor or actress the same person who is truly singing. This is why there are singing credits, and acting credits. Usually in India, especially in the Bollywood musical film industry, songs are composed by one person, they hire a singer to sing the song, and the actress hired to be in the film will lip synch to the song during the film.

Most actresses and actors in Bollywood do not have singing ability, so singers are hired seperately to do the soundtracks.

Sometimes, the actor and singer are the same, like when Kishore Kumar acted
in movies. However, here Helen is acting and Geeta Dutt is singing.

Baabuji main chin se aayi chini jaisa dil laayi
Singaapur ka yauvan mera shanghaai ki angdaayi
Dil par rakh le haath zara, ho jaaye na paagal tu
Mera naam chin-chin-chu
Oh baabuji main aur aap, kitna achchha huwa milaap
Tujhko dekh tabeeyat bhadki, alaadin ki main hu ladki
Phunk du mantar chhu chu chu, sindbaad the sailor tu
Mera naam chin-chin-chu
Baabuji main chin se aayi chini jaisa dil laayi
Singaapur ka yauvan mera shanghaai ki angdaayi
Dil par rakh le haath zara, ho jaaye na paagal tu

IMDB must be wrong here. If you are a keen fan of Hindi films (especially
old ones) like me, you would know that Helen only acts and Geet Dutt is a
playback singer. Check Wikipedia, any books on old Indian movies or most
other websites. I have also seen this actress in other films and she is
called Helen, not Geeta Dutt.

It's from the 50s. The movie is worth seeing for lovely performances,
though this song is definitely the reason I bought the dvd. This is Helen's
only appearance in the movie I think. As to where you can get this movie -
Netflix has it for rent, and you can probably buy it from Nehaflix, a
reliable source for Hindi dvds in the US (and they are not pirate editions,
which is something I care about - I care about not buying pirate Indian
movies!).

She is Helen,icon of the item dance number in Bollywood cinema.
Helen has appeared in over 500 (some estimates come closer to 700) movies in a career that spans 40 years and she has danced in in nearly every single one of those movies, sometimes more than once.

I watched a documentary about Helend and she says that she was 14. Maybe it
was a gimmick to make her look younger or something.. I don't know.
