It would be wrong of us to celebrate one hundred years of Indian Cinema if we did not acknowledge one of the greatest epics to have ever been made. Directed by K. Asif, Mughal-e-Azam (1960) is a film oozing with grandeur, romance and drama. Starring Dilip Kumar, Prithviraj Kapoor and Madhubala in central roles, it is based on the 16th century mythical love tale between a Mughal prince named Saleem (Dilip Kumar) and the court’s maidservant Anarkali (Madhubala). After seeing the two lovers together, Emperor Akbar (Prithviraj Kapoor) attempts to separate them, as he does not want a commoner to become the future Queen of India. Without a doubt, you are not a true fan of Indian Cinema until you have seen the phenomenal beauty that is Mughal-e-Azam.
Initially having received a lukewarm response from the critics, Mughal-e-Azam rapidly became one of the biggest hits in Indian box office history...

When the entire globe is praising A.R. Rahman with such titles – Madras Mozart, academy award winner, Grammy winner and so on, ace music director Ravi is precisely dismayed with this musician. Know what? The music director has blatantly mentioned that A.R. Rahman’s musical score as a fast-food, which is simple terms means – ‘Junk Food’.
Music Director Ravi was present in Sri Lanka to attend the musical program – Geeth Maduri 2010… During that occasion, Ravi said, “There isn’t any synch between the lyrics and music scored by music director A.R. Rahman. But Ilayaraja can be regarded as the God of contemporary music as he gives more prominence for lyrics.”
Ravi is well known in golden period of Hindi cinema as he made spellbinding works with ‘Ghunghat’, ‘Gharana’, ‘Grashti’, ‘Do Kaliyan’ and more.
