Karan Johar in conversation about the Golden Era of Hindi Cinema | Google Arts & Culture

As part of our series presented by Google Arts and Culture, Anupama Chopra spoke to Karan Johar about the Golden Era of Hindi Cinema (1948-1965). Karan shared insights into how this era's music and films, such as Awaara, Kaagaz Ke Phool, and Pyaasa, influenced his upbringing and career. He discussed the impact of legendary figures like Guru Dutt, R. D. Burman, and Lata Mangeshkar, along with other filmmakers of the time, contrasting their passion-driven art with today's commercialized cinema. Karan also lamented the diminishing of cinematic artistry in favor of box office metrics.
