Even after 60 years .. 'Mughal-e-Azam': The highest peak of glory

There has never been a film in the history of Indian cinema before and not even after that. Despite its 50 years of excellence, style, acting, dialogue-delivery, set-up, direction and music, no film has yet surpassed it. So much excellence has been achieved by 'Mughal-e-Azam'. On August 5, 1901, Dasgupta gave 100 out of 100 marks to Mughal-e-Azam in a total of 120 theaters in India and abroad. (Not 100 marks out of 100 as given to all students today) And Bakshi Rubin hailed the film as a milestone of Hindi cinema.

The film was censored by the Film Censor Board on July 15, 190 and the film was released on Friday, August 5, 190 in 150 theaters in the country and around the world. Legendary film critic Iqbal Masood wrote in the now defunct film-magazine 'Cinema' that 'Mughal-e-Azam' is the true fruit of healthy competitiveness. Mehboob Khan's 'Mother India' was a super hit in 19 as the highest grossing movie. After that. Asif rushed to achieve the same level of 'Mother India' and as its seed K. The seeds of 'Mughal-e-Azam' were planted in Asif's mind.

That. Asif was fascinated by Mughal history and was obsessed with the personality of Emperor Akbar. His main objective was to present the omnipresent image of Akbar Badshah on the silver screen, but at the same time, the Indian audience was obsessed with love, dancing and singing. He was a little skeptical about the unforgettable love episode between Salim (later Jahangir) and Anarkali. Although Anarkali's character in the film was completely fictional, no viewers at the time expressed any annoyance over the issue. The emperor of undivided India, Zalaluddin Muhammad Akbar, dies against his young son Salim who falls in love with a very insignificant Rakasa Anarkali, and his stubborn son (actor Dilip Kumar) is also adamant about it. Most viewers know what happens next.

Anarkali's position between two arrogant and highly masculine men becomes like a sandwich with beautiful Madhubala. Durga also misjudges the role of the helpless Jodhabai, but despite being a Maharashtrian, she speaks Urdu with a Persian accent.

Not only that, he could easily speak in the same language with two professionals - Prithviraj Kapoor and Yusuf Khan (Dilip Kumar) and he easily assimilated it.

That. The office took special care to ensure that there were no shortcomings in the production of this film. Alas, Bade persuaded Ghulam Ali Khan to help him in his film by giving him Rs 5,000. (That much money was paid for a song as far back as 20 years ago). For Tansen- This amount was paid for Deepak Raag. He sang two songs: 'Prem Jogan Banke ..' and 'Shubh Din Aayo Raj Dulara ..' Aligarh historian Mohammad Mujib has been quoted as saying that 'K. Asif not only chose or rented the best for his debut film, but also chose the best of the best.

The film 'Mughal-e-Azam' featured high quality Persian Urdu words and dialogues to give cinematic sensibility to the audience watching the film in curry theaters. Can come and enjoy it wholeheartedly. Especially for this black and white movie, the famous song 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya ..' was filmed on Madhubala and sung by Swarkinnari Lata Mangeshkar. The song was presented in color at the time. At the beginning of the new millennium, the film was digitally clad and re-released, and at the time of its final analysis, it was said that no ghosts in the future. The film became a novel treat for Hindi cinema-loving viewers.

Although 20 years have passed, his morale and charisma are still the same - for those who are still unharmed, the truth is that the Arabic adjective azam (very great), Mughal-e-azam to al-azam (the Greatest) is a movie - for all time. Finally, in the 1990s, the film - Mughal-e-Azam - proved to be an eclipse for Albert Hitchcock's 'Psycho' and Federico Filini's 'La Dolce Vita'. However, if the film 'Mughal-e-Azam' is released on the screen even today, the viewers of today's generation will be equally eager to see it.
