It's sung by Lata Mangeshkar who's called as the " NIGHTINGALE OF INDIA" and is awarded by the highest civilian award the " BHARAT RATNA " one of the most favourite singers of ASIA
@@shwetabhosale5671 yes absolutely but lata mangeshkar was also called by that name .. you can confirm it on wikipedia.. She was called that for her voice
Actually because of the heart problem she was not able to do this because you have to rotate many times So there was another dancer called laxmi Narayan who wore the prosthetic of Madhubala buy he looked very similar to her and he performed this, you can look it up on google
A doctor whom she visited in Europe for that problem, already did operation on a child (for the first time in medicine's history), but he was afraid to do operation on grown up as the aftereffects were unpredictable... so, she came back to India untreated...
But if u r suffering from ASD or VSD, it causes nausea, fatigue and dancing is a physical work . God knows how she might have danced. Did she dance in one take or she took breaks in between?
Madhubala the actress - legendary beauty Dilip Kumar the prince - Legend, he inspired Big B to join Bollywood The King Prithviraj Kapoor - the great grandfather of Ranbir Kapoor (alien no. 2 for you) Lata Mangeshkar - the legendary singer of India The movie took I think (I could be wrong) 14 years in making.. In short LEGEND
Yes Priya it took 15 years to get made and by the time all other leading cast ( except dilip Kumar) and director and producer of the movie were no more .
And this film was originally a black and white film, in which this song alone was in colour. It was resplendent with an even bigger impact due to the black and white of the rest of the movie, and when I show it to my fiance I will make him watch it as originally intended, rather than the recently fully colourised version.
The red circle on palms... And red finger tips... Is done by classical dancers to draw attention towards the hands... A lot of dancing is just done with hands and finger movements in Indian classical... They are called mudra... It enhances the effect....
Mughal-e-Azam is considered one of the greatest milestones in world cinema.. Directed by Asif who made just this one film in his life, and is considered as Orson Wells of India.
Fun fact : Madhubala is Marilyn Monroe of bollywood. Academy award winner frank capra wanted to cast madhubala in hollywood movie, but her father rejected the offer She was born in 1933 14 February (Valentine day) and died at the age of 36
Not Marilyn, if you HAVE to compare her to someone it would be Audrey Hepburn. They both are regarded as the most beautiful women of their time. Their beauty is honestly evergreen. Marilyn Monroe was a sex icon, Madhubala was never a sex icon.
@@anandiganguly3086 no in old days in American newspapers they compared madhubala with Marilyn Monroe. Then madhubala known as Marilyn Monroe of bollywood. This is a fact. Neither American media nor india media ever compared to Audrey Hepburn. She boths looks different. But Marilyn Monroe is look like madhubala little bit. I don't know much about it but read in newspapers
The red on the hands is a kind of paint called 'alta'. This is used by dancers to emphasize the movements of their hands. It is also considered especially auspicious (red being an auspicious colour), hence used in weddings and festivals.
@@poof9327 do you realize that not all American cities are diverse? Only cities like L.A , NY, Chicago, Vegas, California,silicon city etc are diverse because of the high quality work availability. So people flock there from all parts of the world. But if you visit places like Texas then you might get a different picture. Hope I made my point clear. Cheers 🤓
This is a different love story from Bajirao Mastani.. This is a love story of Salim Anarkali.. This is one of the most famous tales of love in India... Bajirao Mastani is the story of Maratha King while Mughal-e-Azam is the story of Mughal Emperor Jahangir also known as Salim..
@@Dreamzzgirl Funny how it followed a time when Muslim actors/actresses with their actual names were seen as unlikely to achieve success in Indian cinema yet now the biggest names in Indian cinema are mostly Muslim.
Lata Mangeshkar is the mesmerizing voice. Medhubala (the actress) used to force producers to take Lata as singer in her movie. It used to be in writing in Madhubala's film contract. You can see the magic of the combo ❤️
This is called classic bollywood song....its from black n white era of films....got coloured print later on.... And hell yeah the playback singer's voice is mesmerising...she is the legendary LATA MANGESHKAR...she's called "the NIGHTINGALE OF INDIA" and "VOICE OF THE MILLENIUM❤️❤️👌👌👌
The song Pyar kiya to darna kya was shot in colour even in the first instance. Mughal-e-Azam was highest bollywood grosser for 15 years until Sholay came
I’m so glad you guys are doing older, classic reactions!! We have a really strong tradition which informs the current industry, and watching older stuff will give you so much context for the current audiences tastes!
OKAY I GOT A HEART FROM YOU.. BUT I WANNA SAY THIS AND I HOPE YOU READ THIS ONE TOO.. THERE ARE A LOT OF REACTION CHANNELS DOING INDIAN REACTION JUST FOR THE VIEWS, BUT WHAT YOU GUYZ ARE DOING IS AMAZING.. YOU ARE NOT JUST REACTING, YOU ARE LEARNING ABOUT US. AND THE LOVE FOR CINEMA YOU GUYZ HAVE IS 💞💞💞💞 !!
Shot in sheesh mahal a tourist attraction in Rajhasthan, India. The pillow used by actress Madhubala is kept in the museum there in her remembrance. ♥️
I am from UAE. Humbly suggest you vijayanthimala from the movie jewel thief..song is hote pe aisi....one of the fastest dance number and in bollywood till date.
The singer who sung the song is Lata Mangeshkar. She is considered nightingale of India . The greatest singer of all times. She has sung for more than 5 decades for actress who are age of her grand daughters. She holds a record of singing the maximum number of songs in various Indian languages in Guinness book of World Record until 1991. You should Google her.
deepika karthick Mughal-E-Azam is not just a movie. It's a movie on which one can make a series of movies because there is so much backstage drama that led to making of this masterpiece. People still talk more about story behind Mughal-E-Azam than story of Mughal-E-Azam.
Old classics 1. Ye sham mastani 2. Ek ajnabi hasina se 3. Gulabhi aakhein 4. Ek pyar ka nagma 5. Ek chaturnar 6. Ajeeb dastaan hai ye 7. Zindagi ek safar ......and the list is unending!
This is the all time best Hindi film after Mother India. Artists associated with this song are: 1.King is Prithvi Raj Kapoor, head of the Kapoor clan. His sons Raj, Shammi and Shashi Kapoor all are legends of Hindi cinema. At present Kapoor family is represented by Karina and Ranvir Kapoor. 2. Hero is Dilip Kumar, the best Hindi film actor. No one can match his skills. He was offered a role in Lawrence of Arabia but he turned it down and then Hollywood got Omar Sharif. 3. Heroine is Madhubala the most beautiful Hindi Film actress. Unfortunately she died when she was only 36 due to a heart ailment. 4. Playback singer is Lata Mangeshkar, the best singer of Hindi and all other related languages. 5. Composer is Naushad,a master and Lyricist is poet Shakeel Badayuni.
Not sure if I am too late but if you both have reviewed this then it’s only natural that you watch Mohe Panghat Pe, which is my favourite Madhubala song because of its simplicity and how , in my eyes, she is the epitome of feminine charm and sensuality in that song. 👀💅🏽🙏🤗
The voice is of Lata Mangeshkar, the Nightingale of India! She is a legend. She has sung thousands of songs in almost all the languages in the country!
Waooooo!!! LATA DIDI'S 🇮🇳 (#latamangeshkar) VOICE IS SO HYPNOTIC and mesmerizing. 💝 This song and movie has so much of glorious history 🎊 Older movies are epic and absolute classic.
You guys got to watch Mera Naam Joker..... Ultimate performance from the original greatest showman... Mr. Raj Kapoor.... Yes way before than Hugh Jackman. You can start of with a song Jeena yaha Marna yaha if movie is too much
This hypnotic voice is our Didi's (Lata Mangeshkar). She is India's greatest play back singer and she is awarded with India's highest civilian honor, Bharat Ratna. Her voice and singing skills are said to have divine blessings, i.e. blessings from goddess Saraswati. She will be 90 years old on 28th September 2019, i wish her health and happiness.
I love this classic movie and song! The leading actor, Dilip Kumar, sadly passed away at the age of 98 (RIP). Madhubala is my favourite actress and gave an excellent performance. Dilip is a great actor but his performance was not up to the usual standard which people believed was due to his break up with Madhubala. They had a real life relationship for 9 years. She felt that and gave her best performance. It was like they mirrored it in this movie and must have been difficult to work together. Can tell from Dilip's performance he found it difficult. Ok, enough rambling. Great video and loved your reactions. Classic Bollywood is the best.👍
Pyaasa Awaara Guide Kagaz ke phool Kashmir ki Kali Mera naam joker are some of my recommendations of classic hindi movies.. :) P.S : they have really good music as well.
@@neeluswar Obviously man!! Indian Cinema is a mine of diamonds!! There are numerous hidden ones there for people like Rick and Korbin, one just needs to search for them!!
There are no hidden gems. Google any legendary actor/actress/producer/director/lyricist/musician/comedian/negative role actor or actress, you will come across numerous worth watching great films from indian cinema.
Please do a review of "More Panghat pe" from this same movie Mughl e Azam. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani and Padmavat has been inspired by Mughl e Azam directly. We Indians are extremely passionate and emotional and in the older movies the more emotion people actually had...
The original was shot in black and white, This is from an later re-mastered film into multi colors That is colors were added almost a half decade later
Since ya'll are interested.in retro react to the classic CHALTE CHALTE FROM PAKEEZAH.A beautiful song performed beaatifully by Meena Kumari also known tragedy queen one of the highest paid actresses of her.time.
If you want to see n listen classic indian, search the name "Guru Dutt" . His movies, songs are a class, ahead of time Kagaj ke phool(flowers of paper) Pyasa Saheb bibi aur gulam.... Etc etc
This movie MUGALE AZAM was released in 1960 it was taking 9 years to be completed. The story based on Mugai emperor Akbar and his son who fall in love a maid in his palace and when King knows about that he put that maid in a wall lively the great thing about this movie director started to make this in black and white camera and whole movie was completed in 9 years then in India colour movie are started making in India so he decided to again shoot this song in colour.
One of the best songs ever..Evergreen ... good to see you both reacted on this one..Nightingale Lata Mangeshkar...Dileep Kumar .. Prithvi Raj Kapoor .. Madhubala...The Legends..forever..Prithvi RajKapoor Great Grand Father of Ranbeer Kapoor..
I bow down to the tremendous beauty " The Venus of Indian Cinema - MADHUBALA JI". It is also said that many Indian Legends of film industry fainted when they saw her. She was such a great beauty with talent. I always admire her because she went from nothing to great achiever. Miss you maa'm. Love you...Thank you for giving us such a great piece of art.
The drawing parallel of the two movies wasn’t very accurate. The woman standing behind the prince wasn’t his wife or consort. She was a handmaiden to his mother who broke the news of the prince and anarkali’s affair to the King.
You should react Mughal - E - Azam - Teri Mehfil Mein Qismat. This is a song-off. The other famous song from the same era and genre; Pakeezah - Chalte Chalte Yunhi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Not sure if this will be viewed since this reaction is from so long ago. But I had to write this. Emperor Akbar was played by Prithviraj Kapoor (Ranbir Kapoor's grandfather, the founder of the Kapoor dynasty), crown prince Salim was played by Dilip Kumar who was a superstar and was the first Indian method actor and known for his understated style. (Prince Salim would ascend the throne as Emperor Jahangir, the father of Shah Jahan of Taj Mahal fame.) Madhubala and Dilip Kumar had been in love with each other and weren't allowed to get married because of her father, since she was the sole breadwinner of the family. They had broken up by this film but gave the most poignant and famous performances of their lives. She would later marry Kishore Kumar but died at 32 of a heart ailment. Anarkali was most likely a fictional character but a tragic legend of doomed love that persists to this day. The movie was in black and white but was painstakingly colorized and re-released in 2004 in theaters. Dilip Kumar who didn't attend the original premier attended this one. However, this song was filmed in Technicolor but he couldn't afford to film the entire movie in color. In fact, the set construction and other elements of this one song were so expensive they practically bankrupted the project. K. Asif, the film-maker had only studied until 5th grade and was from a small U.P. town and had trained to be a tailor. While planning and conceptualizing the shooting of his song. David Lean and he had a correspondence going and Lean was very skeptical about the filming...how would the set be lighted with these thousands of mirrors everywhere? Asif managed to overcome all these challenges to the surprise of film-makers worldwide. He only made one other movie...the second one released and completed after his death. It was as if he was born to make this film.
Henna is brownish... With certain designs...but if it is Red and just a circle on the palm and finger tips painted, it's called Alta... It is a part of Classical Indian Dance make up... Here she is doing Kathak dance which is a North Indian dance originated in Uttar Pradesh state , which most of the court dancers used to perform for the kings... Even today Alta is used in classical dances like Kathak, Bharatnatyam, etc
This song and dance/choreography is a masterpiece. The lyrics are truly poetic, of forbidden love. I love your commentary on the videos, it really shows how you appreciate the artistry of the filmmakers!
Landmark film in the annals of world cinema. Iconic song & composition. No one replicate the ethereal beauty of the diva - Madhubala. Soulful voice of the nightingale of India - Lata tai.
you should definitely watch this movie, it's epic! PLEASE REVIEW THIS MOVIE! Dilip kumar, Madhubala and Prithviraj Kapoor (Ranbir Kapoor's great-grandfather), this is pure gold. And before you watch it, please do some research on how much the director and actors hard worked on this. The director didn't like the bounce of fake pearls at one scene so he postponed the movie to buy real pearls to get that ONE second shot, Prithviraj Kapoor walked on real burning sand to get the feels on a shot right, there is a whole list, make you realize how much efforts they put in this back in the days.
That song and that movies is Bollywood Gold!!! The song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar Ji. It was actually shot in Black n White originally. It was digitally re-mastered into color almost many decades later.
It is a voice of bharat Ratna Lata mangeshkar a goddess saraswati.. Who has a record of singing 50000 thousand songs... She is very strongly classically trained... She is a pride of india the queen of singing world.. The great lataji...
@@AshrafAnam There are but they did not have a such a strong legacy OK.. Just understand destiny is bigger than anything else in the world until n unless god has decided the path nothing can be done... OK she was strongly destined the film industry has maximum number of songs in films ñ that too very soothing voice... So please respect destiny decision..
@@tarangj But Lata Mangeshkar is overrated. There are as much well-known and well-aged singers in Bengal alone. There is Runa Laila (Bangladesh/East Pakistan) and there is Manna Dey (West Bengal). And there is no match for Kishore Kumar. There are also Mehdi Hassan and Noorjahan from Pakistan.
