"Mughal-e-Azam" (Hindi: मुग़ल-ए आज़म, Urdu: مغلِ اعظم, English: The Emperor of the Mughals) is a 1960 Indian epic film produced and directed by K. Asif. The lavish production took nine years to finish. The film broke box office records in India when released and held the record for the highest grossing film ever until the 1975 film Sholay broke its record. Starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, Durga Khote and Johnny Walker. Music is by Naushad and lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni. In 2004, a colorized version created by Rajeev Dwivedi and Sankranti Creations was released theatrically marking another success for the film. This is one of the biggest and arguably the biggest box office hit movie in Indian cinema. Adjusted for inflation, the movie's net revenue would put it on top of all Bollywood movies released until March 31, 2009. Mughal-E-Azam's soundtrack was composed by music director Naushad, and was named as the second best Bollywood soundtrack ever, by planetbollywood.com. Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain says, "I was considered for the role of the young Salim. But the role was eventually played by Jalal Agha." This is the first full feature-length movie to be revived/colorized for a theatrical re-release in the history of world cinema. Some Hollywood movies have been colorized, but only for re-release on home video. This was (counting Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas) the most expensive film ever made in Indian history. Tailors were brought from Delhi to stitch the costumes, specialists from Surat-Khambayat were employed for the embroidery, Hyderabad goldsmiths made the jewellery, Kolhapur craftsmen designed the crowns, Rajasthan ironsmiths crafted the weapons, and the elaborate footwear was ordered from Agra. For the battle sequence, 2000 camels, 4000 horses and 8000 troops were used, many of them soldiers on loan from the Indian Army. Altogether the film cost Rs. 1.5 crores (38.29 crores in present terms). The song "Ae Mohabbat Zindabad" had singer Mohammed Rafi with a chorus of 100 singers. The statue of Lord Krishna used in the film is made of pure gold. The heavy chains Madhubala wore in the film were authentic, not the lightweight models worn in those days. It was her greatest ordeal in the film and she was bedridden for days nursing the bruises caused by wearing those chains. Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan did a very rare classical number, Prem Jogan, that went on to become a classic............... Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour. [Wikipedia & IMDb]
