"Amar Prem" (Hindi: अमर प्रेम, Urdu: امر پریم, Translation: "Immortal Love") is a 1972 Hindi film directed by Shakti Samanta, based on a story by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay.

Starring Sharmila Tagore, Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Mehra, Farida Jalal, Abhi Bhattacharya and Madan Puri.

The thought-provoking song 'Chingaari Koi Bhadke' written by Anand Bakshi and sung by Kishore Kumar, is one of the highlights of this classic.

The movie is a remake of a Bengali film Nishipadma (1970) by Arabinda Mukherjee, who wrote screenplay for both the films; it starred Uttam Kumar and Sabitri Chatterjee as leads.

The film portrays the decadence of human values and relationships and contrasts it by presenting an illustrious example of a boy's innocent love for a neighbourhood courtesan.

It was noted for its music by R.D. Burman, numbers sung by famous playback singers like Kishore Kumar, R.D. Burman's father S.D. Burman and Lata Mangeshkar.
Lyrics were by Anand Bakshi.

Lyrics by Bharat Vyas.

Rani Rupmati, also spelt Roopmati [16th Century] was a Hindu Rajput singer of Malwa.
Sultan Bhag Bahadur and Roopmati fell in love with each other and were married according to Muslim and Hindu rites.

Adham Khan was prompted to conquer Mandu partly due to Rupmati's beauty. When Adham Khan marched on the fort Bhag Bahadur met him with his small force and was defeated, Roopmati poisoned herself to death.

Thus ending the magical love story which was steeped in music, poetry, romance, war and death.

In 1599, Ahmad-ul-Umri Turkoman, who was in the service of Sharaf-ud-Din Mirza wrote the story of Rani Rupmati in Persian. He collected 26 poems of her and included them in his work.

The original manuscript passed to his grandson Fulad Khan and his friend Mir Jafar Ali made a copy of the manuscript in 1653. Mir Jafar Ali's copy ultimately passed to Mehbub Ali of Delhi and after his death in 1831 passed to a lady of Delhi. Jemadar Inayat Ali of Bhopal brought this manuscript from her to Agra.

This manuscript later reached C.E. Luard and translated into English by L.M. Crump under the title, The Lady of the Lotus: Rupmati, Queen of Mandu: A Strange Tale of Faithfulness in 1926. This manuscript has a collection of twelve dohas, ten kavitas and three sawaiyas of Rupmati...........
