Madhubala (1933-1969) as Anarkali in blockbuster Mughal-E-Azam (1960)

fun fact : Maduhbala was an active philanthropist ! She donated to relief services for refugees from what was then East Bengal ( and is now known as Bangladesh ). She also donated to relief funds for the Jammu and Kashmir conflicts as well as children suffering from polio, earning her the nickname "the queen of charity" as she was called that by editor Baburao Patel.

Forbidden Love of Salim-Anarkali Mughal-e-Azam (1960)

[g0j0s]

Anarkali grieving her love for Salim

i wish i hadn’t loved you. o i wish it was anyone but you. everything that im made to go through, hurts me less. but the thought that if you realised the intensity of my pain, how much will you lament? it keeps me awake at nights. my pain is this severance, this distance, your absence. but yours will be all that and my ailing will shred you to pieces. i wish the world wasn’t so cruel. they keep us apart and think we wouldn’t find a way. so what if he sees us today? beloved, let him see us and take my head. i cannot go another step with this heart laden with such sorrow & regrets. but if something was so happen to me just how will you survive? your heart might beat, your tongue might speak but you wouldn’t be truly alive. o dear god, what is my plight? i cannot live without him but for me to die is also his demise.

@hotvintagepoll Madhubala wasn't in Naya Daur, she was initially supposed to be, but this happened (according to wiki):

"During filming, the Naya Daur production was involved in a highly controversial and widely publicised court case. Initially, the actress Madhubala was cast as the female lead. An advance payment was given to her and shooting began and continued smoothly for 15 days. B.R. Chopra, the director, wanted the unit to travel to Bhopal for an extended outdoor shoot. Ataullah Khan, the father of Madhubala, objected to this and claimed that the entire Bhopal schedule was a ruse to give Dilip Kumar the opportunity to romance his daughter (Kumar and Madhubala were in a relationship at the time). With Madhubala no longer completing the film, Chopra sued for the cash advance she received from him. Madhubala supported her father, while Kumar testified against Madhubala and her father in favour of B.R. Chopra in open court. The case was lost by Madhubala and her father amid much negative publicity. During the case, the film was released and declared a success. Chopra eventually dropped the court case."

In the end Vyjayanthimala replaced her. It's a very cute film btw, with some lovely songs.

Anyway, have a nice Madhubala and Dilip song from Tarana (sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Talat Mahmood)

Also the most notable Madhubala and Dilip movie is Mughal-e-Azam, which the propaganda picture under the cut comes from.

Which calls for the obligatory Jab Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya (sung by Lata Mangeshkar).

A very impressive dance performance by Madhubala, especially considering her heart condition.

Ronald Colman and Loretta Young (Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back, Devil to Pay, Clive of India)—I can't send you links in asks or I'd include a photo. D': D': I have several! D':

Madhubala and Dilip Kumar (Tarana, Sangdil, Mahal, Devdas, Naya Duar)—no propaganda submitted

Tribute to Hindi Cinema's Legendary Singer/Actress Tun Tun on Her Birth Anniversary Today (11/07).

She gave us beautiful music and made us laugh. Starting as a young singer and later becoming the well-loved comedian Tun Tun, her impact is unforgettable. Born Uma Devi Khatri in 1923 in a small village in Uttar Pradesh, she lost her parents early. Her uncle raised her in a strict Punjabi family. Despite not having formal music training, she learned to sing from the radio. During a time when girls' education was rare and their ambitions were often discouraged, Uma Devi bravely taught herself to read and write Hindi, and even some Urdu and English, to help her singing career.

At 13, she ran away to Bombay to follow her dreams and challenge the singers she admired. She wanted to sing for Naushad, a composer she thought was the best. After many attempts, she finally sang for him and impressed him with a song by Noor Jehan. Her career began with the hit song "Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon" from the movie Dard in 1947. But her success didn't last long.

The chaos of India's partition affected the film industry, and as the Mangeshkar sisters became popular, Uma Devi's opportunities decreased. She knew her voice couldn't compete with theirs, and she had gained a lot of weight. Naushad, her Rakhi brother, saw her talent for comedy and suggested she try acting.

This led to her successful second career. She made her acting debut in the film Babul, produced by Naushad, with stars like Dilip Kumar and Nargis. She was given the name Tun Tun, which became famous. As the first well-known comedienne in Indian cinema, she entertained people in movies like Aar Paar, Pyaasa, Mr. and Mrs. 55, and Mom Ki Gudiya.

Tun Tun is remembered as one of the few artists who successfully switched from singing to comedy, leaving a lasting legacy in Hindi films.

Tribute 851.

Tribute to Director, Writer and ProducerB.R.Chopra 851

Today, I am going to pen a tribute to another memorable writer, producer, and director of Bollywood — none other than the late B.R. Chopra of B.R. Films. Known for his immense respect and image in the film fraternity, B.R. Chopra produced many iconic films and gave the world the unforgettable TV serial Mahabharat. He directed several remarkable films, each marked by his unique directorial touch. The films I have seen and truly appreciated include Daastan, Pati, Patni Aur Woh, Kanoon, Dhund, Humraz, and Karm. These films were all notable, and each showcased his mastery.

In Daastan, the legendary Dilip Kumar's performance played a significant role in its success. Kanoon was another masterpiece from this director. Pati, Patni Aur Woh was another successful venture, which starred the talented Sanjeev Kumar. Playback singer Mahendra Kapoor's association with his films added an unforgettable musical charm. B.R. Chopra worked with wonderful technicians in his unit, including his cinematographer brother, Dharm Chopra, and his director brother, Yash Chopra.

His serial Mahabharat made a landmark impact on Indian television, and it is not an exaggeration to say it changed the small-screen industry. The late Rahi Masoom Raza's contribution as the dialogue writer for the serial was invaluable. Mahabharat also gave Bollywood some memorable actors, including Mukesh Khanna, Punit Isar, and more.

B.R. Chopra produced many successful films, including Waqt, Dhul Ka Phool, and Chandni Chowk. Baghban is another testament to his storytelling genius. The three Chopra brothers — B.R. Chopra, Yash Chopra, and Dharm Chopra — dominated the B.R. Films banner and left a lasting impact on Indian cinema.

B.R. Chopra was awarded the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the highest honor in Indian cinema, for his contributions. Even though he is no longer with us, the B.R. Films banner continues to fly high on the Bollywood map. Today, I am happy to pay tribute to this legendary director

Sonu Nigam Talks About Mohd Rafi's Musical Versatility at IFFI: "He Could Sing Bhajans as if He Were Hindu

At the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Sonu Nigam paid tribute to the legendary singer Mohd Rafi during a special session titled Asmaan Se Aaya Farishta – A Tribute to Mohd Rafi – The King of Melody. In this heartfelt remembrance, Sonu spoke about Rafi’s unparalleled versatility and how he could seamlessly switch between different musical genres, leaving a lasting impact on Indian cinema.

Sonu shared an intriguing anecdote about Rafi's ability to sing Hindu bhajans with such sincerity that it felt as if he were a devout Hindu. He remarked, "When he sings a bhajan, it feels like a true Hindu is singing. But he was a Muslim, a namaazi (prayerful man). How could he undergo such 'dharam parivartan' in his singing?" Sonu expressed his admiration for how Rafi could transform his voice to perfectly suit the spiritual essence of a bhajan, despite his own religious background.

The tribute also highlighted Rafi's extraordinary range, noting that his voice could adapt to a variety of actors, from the dignified Dilip Kumar and the comedic Johnny Walker to the energetic Rishi Kapoor. Sonu reflected on Rafi’s ability to bring life to every song, regardless of the genre or context, calling him the king of melody.

Mohd Rafi's legacy as a versatile and beloved figure in Indian music continues to inspire generations of artists, and Sonu Nigam’s tribute at IFFI was a testament to the lasting impact of Rafi’s musical genius.
