Pakeezah [1972]

A movie that took 17 years to make, and one of the master pieces of the Indian Cinema. It is truly a creation of a labor of a love for its beloved, a mountain of talents, a patience of an ocean and an endurance of a sailor that withers many passages of storms.

The newer generation is forgetting this masterpiece that is hard to be beaten in the melody of the songs, the beatitude of the music, the grandeur of the costumes, ths setup of the scenes, the delivery of dialogues, the display of the histrionics, the majesty of the Mughal era by gone, the travesty shown par-excellence, and the direction that can only be said to be divine!
