Bollywood Films That Must Be Seen By Western Audiences

Sangam (1964)

Sangam explores the story of an Indian Air Force Officer who leaves for the Kashmiri front. While away, he trusts his best friend to care for his wife. The only problem? He’s been secretly in love with her the whole time.

Sangam was an instant hit and widely considered a classic Bollywood film today. It is an amazing four hours long and inspired by Hollywood’s Gone With The Wind. It filmed some of its scenes overseas – mainly in Venice and Switzerland – which was rare at the time.
