Seeing double or triple? An Iconic Bollywood costume: The Ready-made modern Sari on Vyjanthimala, Mumtaz and Leena Chandavarkar


Leena Chandavarkar in Preetam (1971) 

A near replica of Mumtaz's look from Brahmachari (1968) designed by Academy-award winner Bhanu Athaiya. 

Even further back, Vyjanthimala in Jewel Thief (1967) in a similar cut, colour, gold-stripe, accessory styling... 

As Diet Sabya would call it, "Gandi copy..." 

Actually, its pretty damn good copy!
