As far as classic films go, "Mughal-E-Azam" is epic in every sense of the word - massive budget, 17 years in the making, huge cast, and just over three hours of your life given over to watching it. Remarkable even by today's standards, and even more so bearing in mind it was made over 40 years ago. Based on an unauthenticated legend, it follows the fate of Prince Saleem (Kumar), son of Emperor Akbar (Kapoor), who meets the disapproval of his father when he falls for the beautiful court dancer Anarkali (Madhubala). Disgusted that his son wants to marry below himself - with the implications this would have for the court - the Emperor forbids Saleem from seeing his love. But Saleem is willing to give up the throne for Anarkali and rebels, causing his father to do everything in his power to kill the romance and crush his son... A benchmark film for both Indian cinema and cinema grandeur in general, it's a credit to Asif's dedication that the film remains one of the most memorable Bollywood films around today.
