Movie Reviews
When one thinks of great movies they remember the classics such as gone with the wind, Ben hur
etc... but let us not forget one of the greatest cinematic triumphs of Hindi Cinema Mughal-e-Azam
a film set in the times of the great Moughul Empire. Having seen both the part B/W and Colour and
the remastered full colour version I can truly say that the colourised version truly brings out the
true glory of this amazing classic putting it in a league way beyond the Classics of today. The
dialogue is simply superb and the acting truly amazing modern filmmakers could learn thing or
two about acting. The cinematography is simply stunning for a movie of its time. the grandeur
and opulence of the sets really comes out in full colour. The story though not very relevant for
modern times shows the views and attitudes of India's past. a truly great film to watch...
