Too much of everything
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreI loved this movie; though I can't say that every part of it was perfect, it was very close to perfection. I loved the music, the dances, the culture, and the depiction of India during the Mughal empire. I especially loved the purity of the language, though I couldn't understand every word because a significant portion of it was in Urdu whereas I'm Hindu.That said, this is certainly not THE best Bollywood movie ever. Many people seem to think that, and many articles call it the #1 Bollywood movie, but there've been many other movies that I felt were better. Aamir Khan's movies, for example, are more appealing to the newer generation, and have much more to teach.
View MoreThis is not a movie but a peek into Indian culture which History Buffs would really cherish. From insisting on real pearls for a scene to getting the best classical dancer in India to choreograph his heroine & to getting the best vocalist (who never sang for any other movie) to provide the backdrop to the most iconic love scene in Indian film history the director K Asif created this masterpiece over a period of 12 years. Mughal E Azam is synonymous with scale - the grandness of its sets, the loftiness of its dialogue, the brilliance of its actors, the astuteness of its photography (check out the sequence in the palace of mirrors) as well as the timelessness of its music. If you have to watch one India Movie, this is it
View MoreWell... what to say about the greatest film in the history of India... Mughal-E-Azam is a film which can never die or be forgotten. It is impossible for this film to be forgotten.Story- Argubaly the greatest story ever formed.. Falling in love with a low class maid, revolting against own father and finally parting ways forever.. Acting- Dilip Kumar as Salim leaves you speechless and so does the ethereal beauty Madhubala as Ananrkali. Prithviraj Kapoor as King Akbar steals the show. In supporting roles- Durga Khote as Jodha Bai, Nigar Sultana as the evil meddlesome Bahar deliver a promising performance. A 'Perfect' casting for a film.Music- Pyar Kiya To Darna- Picturised on Madhubala, Dilip Kumar, Prithviraj Kapoor, Durga Khote, Nigar Sultana still is the grandest song ever.Mohe Panghat Pe- Picturised on Madhubala, Kumar, Kapoor, Khote is still played on Lord Krishna's Janmasthmi.Teri Mehfil Mein- Picturised on Madhubala, Nigar, Kumar is arguably the best duet till date.Other hits like Mohabbat Ki Jhooti, Humen Kash Tumse, Jab Raat Hai Aisi, Aye Mohabbat Zindabad, Bekas Pe Karam Kijiye, Khuda Nigeheban, Aye Ishq Yeh Sab Duniyawale... are still remembered today... Direction- FABULOUS! THE ONLY FILM OF K.ASIF!Release Dates- 05-08-1960 (BW/ Partly Color) 12-11-2004 (Colorized)its a much watch 4 every youngster... Please parents, make them watch this
View MoreA very finely made epic with a all-star cast,great screenplay,music,songs and direction.Some of the dialogue is immortal.I have heard it said that Dilip Kumar was outstanding but i find his performance dull and uninteresting.The stars are Madhubala and Prithviraj.If ever i wanted someone to play Akbar it would be Prithviraj.Madhubala was in her prime in this movie.The scene where she tears off her jewelery after drugging Dilip is so good and so well filmed that it becomes the whole love story itself.The dialogue is beautiful.Ajit,Murad and Durga Khotay also excel themselves.The oddity is the pale-faced Dilip.It happens that expect in Tarana,he always seems subdued whenever he is paired with Madhubala.Mughal-e-Azam is a classic but historically it is based on a myth and has no resemblance to the truth about Akbar and Jahangir.
