Every movie feels incomplete without a song in it. They usually act as a catalyst to the story or to heat up the energy of the situation. It takes several hours and days to get that one perfect shot. But in some cases, the director decided to step out of a bubble and shot an entire song in just one take! And those songs also turned out among the most liked songs ever.
Here is a list of 5 Bollywood songs that were shot in just a single take:-
- Roop Tera Mastana : You definitely must have heard this sing somewhere as it is a classic iconic song of that era. By movie “Aradhana” in 1969, this song made everyone groove instantly. This is also known as probably the first song to be shot in one take. Starring Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore, was indeed a sensual song. Composed by S.D. Burman and sung by Kishore Kumar, this song also made him win Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer in 1969. https://youtu.be/dyEdcOhxJNQ
