Mughal-e-Azam songs

Mughal-e-Azam is an Indian epic film. It was produced and directed by K. Asif and released in 1960. 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. In 2004, a colorized version of the movie was released theatrically for the first time. The movie was again a success. The colorization project was executed by Rajeev Dwivedi of Sankranti Creations.

The film re-tells a popular Indian tale, which was previously filmed as Loves of a Mughal Prince (1928) and Anarkali (1953). It is loosely based on an episode in the life of the Mughal prince Salim, who went on to become the Emperor Jahangir. In the movie, the great conqueror Akbar (played by Prithviraj Kapoor) and his Rajput wife, Mariam-uz-Zamani (played by Durga Khote) have a son - the weak and pleasure-loving Salim - played by Dilip Kumar. Salim falls in love with Anarkali (Madhubala), a court-dancer. He wants to marry her, but his father objects and throws Anarkali into prison. Despite imprisonment, Anarkali refuses to reject Salim. Salim rebels against his father, is defeated in battle, and is sentenced to death. Anarkali pleads for his life in exchange for her own, and is condemned to be walled up alive. However, it is revealed that Akbar owed a favor to Anarkali's mother, since she informed him of the birth of his son. Anarkali's mother takes advantage of this, and begs for her daughter's life. The emperor relents, and arranges for Anarkali's secret escape into exile. Unfortunately, it is still announced that Anarkali was killed, and Salim is heartbroken.

Most tales of Salim and Anarkali end with the death of the latter, even though the movie version is slightly more optimistic. However, Salim is still left to believe that Anarkali is dead and the lovers are separated for the rest of their lives.

Mughal-E-Azam's soundtrack was composed by music director Naushad. The song "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya" has an unusual history to it: it cost Rs. 10 million at a time when a film would be made for less than a million; it was written and re-written 105 times by the lyricist, Shakeel Badayuni, before the music director, Naushad, could approve of it; it was shot in the renowned Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors); and in those days of sound recording, editing and mixing, as there was no way to provide the reverberation of sound, Naushad had Lata Mangeshkar sing the song in a studio bathroom. The song "Ae Mohabbat Zindabad" had singer Mohammed Rafi with a chorus of 100 singers.

Mohe Panghat Pe
Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kiya
Mohabbat Ki Jhooti Kahani Pe Roye

Teri Mehfil Mein Kismat Aazma Ker
Ye Dil Ki Lagi
Ae Aashiq Ye Sab Duniya Wale
Khuda Nigehban Ho
Ae Mohabbat Zindabad
Prem Jagan Ban Ke
Shubh Din Aaya Raj Dulara
