It's from ex-Yugoslav foreign language Oscar-nominated mega-budgeted and star-studded The Battle on the River Neretva (1969). It's the scene (which could have used beter audio directing) where the wounded start singing in the hospital behind the Partisans crumbling defense lines (Hardy is on the attack and his close-up when he realizes that he has probably already lost despite winning is the integral part of the scene), however, why I love the scene so much would have to be a chin-stroker's 150 words explanation I'm afraid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just make sure you have the full 160 minutes or so edit, there is apparently a mush shorter version for the western audiences which would sometimes be difficult to follow.

Trumo 16,322 Report post Posted 6 Feb 2022, 14:58:05 Lata Mangeshkar, Indian playback singer, passes away aged 92. If you've never heard of her, believe me you have no idea just how popular she was. Think of any mainstream female singer in the western world and multiply that popularity at least tenfold. I've never got into Bollywood music but can appreciate that she was basically the soundtrack to mainstream culture in India and its massive diaspora around the world. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-60094193 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
