There is a sweet spot when it comes to Bollywood musicals and Aadmi Aur Insaan is nestled right in it. It was made in 1969, during a period when India was producing movies with the perfect blend of kitsch, glam, traditional Indian culture, and an enthusiasm for modern-day progress. Electric guitars and violins meet sitars and tabla. Leopard print pill-box hats meet saris. The film opens with the production company’s old credits immediately followed by the new ones, as seen below.
