Hindi Song | Mughal-E-Azam (1960)

With the release of Jodhaa Akbar around the corner, I thought we should revisit Mughal-E-Azam which was once the biggest film Bollywood had produced. I personally think it still is the biggest. Starring Dilip Kumar as Prince Salim, Madhubala as Anarkali and Prithviraj Kapoor in his biggest role ever as the Mughal emperor Akbar, it tells the love story of Prince Salim and Anarkali, a slave. It really is a must see film but you probably already know that.

Music of Mughale-E-Azam is by Naushad Ali who has composed some of the best songs of the Golden Era of Bollywood. The most notable songs of this album are Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya and Teri Mehfil Mein. You really need to watch the movie to appreciate the lyrics of these songs.

Hindi Song | Madhumati (1958)

Madhumati is a film by Bimal Roy and stars Dilip Kumar, Vyjayanthimala and Pran. If you haven't watched it yet, here's why you should: it was nominated for 9 Filmfare Awards and won ALL of them!!! Yes, all of them including best film, best director and best music director!!

The music composer who won the award for this film is Salil Choudhury. I personally like two of the songs a lot, Dil Tadap Tadap Ke and Suhana Safar Aur Yeh Mausam both sung by Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar. There's something for Mohammad Rafi fans too. Enjoy!!
