Madhubala Is Remembered Most For Mughal-E-Azam

 

Magnum opus Mughal E Azam is popular till now for many reasons. The movie released in the year 1960 broke several box office records and it hold the record of highest grosser of Indian cinema till the release of Sholay in 1975. An unparallel classic with super art direction, powerful performances, expensive sets, beautiful songs, the most expensive film ever made on Indian screen and above all beautiful pairing of Dilip Kumar as Salim Kumar and Anarkali. Yes, Madhubala – the queen of Bollywood is remembered most for her role in Mughal E Azam. Though it tells the unsuccessful love of Salim and Anarkali, the movie was not at all a failure! It took 11 long years to see that film on screen and has witnessed many financial crises as well. The real life break up romance of Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, financial crises and illness of Madhubala were enough reasons to drag the release of project to 11 years! Yet the movie witnessed the best opening ever made on Indian screen; long queue of more than 1 lakh people were witnessed to buy tickets one day before Marata Theatre of Mumbai. What a grand and magical opening!

 

‘Pyar kiya to darna kya’, ‘Mohe panghat pe’, ‘Muhabbat ki jhooti’ or ‘Teri mehfil mein kismet aasmakar’ – Madhubala was loved by billions in each and every bit of the movie. Yet the song, ‘Pyar kiya to darna kya’ stands unique for his lovely music, lyrics and unique picturation. To give an echo effect to that song, Lata Mangeshkar was made sing inside theatre bathroom, that time. Facts are many connected with this Magnum opus, though real looks astonishing and part of fairy tales.

 

As an actress, it is the only movie which Madhubala was nominated for best actress and she could have done it better, if doctors had not asked her to put less strain in her work. Yet her beauty has covered all the black shades of her illness, converting the movie to the biggest epic ever made on Indian screen. In her career she had flops more than hits and she is remembered for her beauty than her acting skills. Yet Mughal-E-Azam is one such unique movie for which she is remembered both as a beauty as well as an actress.
