Once upon films were made in such a way wherein the lead actress was characterized in a very homely and traditional way. The lead actress was very much like a girl next door. There was nothing like exposing or skin show done by the lead lady. In order to attract a sector of the crowd to the theatre, the makers would incorporate a special song so called an “item song” in filmy lingo.
There were a special genre of actresses to woo the audience with their sizzling moves and they were so called item dancers. Nowadays we find lead actresses itself taking up the role of a special dancer in some other movie where she is not the lead. Let’s have a look at those special genres of actresses who have attracted huge crowds to theatres with just a single song.
