What happens
Anarkali is a 1953 Indian historical drama film, directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal, and written by Nasir Hussain and Hameed Butt, based on the historical legend of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (Salim). As per the legend, Jahangir revolted against his father Akbar over his love for a common girl called Anarkali. It was the top grossing Hindi film in the year of its release - 1953. On the same theme, Mughal-e-Azam was released in 1960, which turned out to be one of the biggest box office successes in the history of Indian cinema and a major critical success as well. While Anarkali portrayed the story from Anarkali's perspective, Mughal-e-Azam told the story from the perspective of Mughal emperor Akbar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
