Have you noticed this? that in old movies from the 1960's and 70's, streets and cities in India looked so clean and pollution free compared to the dirt/pollution today.
Was it actually like that? were the Indian cities much cleaner then?

Yes I noticed it in song Mein chali mein chali
Population was not as high as now.
Cleaner, classier, more beautiful, less populated, buildings were architecturally great not cheap looking and safe.
Yes in 1940s and 50s and 60s people were way more cleaner
They do not throw garbage on roads or spit or dirty public property
That is also because immigration was very less
People stayed in same city all life so they had attachment to that place and kept it neat
Now people hop from one place to another they have no love or care for that place
Otherwise also people 60-80 years back were more hygenic and cleaner than now
Like our grandparents they are so much more neat and clean whether in kitchen or house how they keep compared to our gen
That also because now gen goes to work 10 to 12 hours a day compared to old times
So they have no energy left to do house work or keep clean may be
Yes..Due to great increase in population & material progress , much more polluted & pandemonic now (even a city like Chandigarh though still much better than all major UP towns including Noida imo)..In that backdrop , the enhanced,conspicuous development in cities has just been gaudy than anything else..

1960 - 450m
3x population increase in just 60 years.
Even bigger growth in the cities - Mumbai from 4.5m to 20m+ , Delhi - 2.3m to 30m+
