What happens
Anarkali is a 1958 Pakistani historical drama film, directed by Anwar Kamal Pasha and starring Noor Jehan and Sudhir in lead roles. Based on the Urdu play of the same name by Imtiaz Ali Taj, the screenplay is written by Qamar Ajnalvi. The film revolves around the love of Jahangir for a tawaif Anarkali, which creates a serious conflict between Prince Jahangir and his father, Mughal emperor Akbar. The film was released on 4 June 1958, and its performance was 'average' at the box office. Made with a budget of high production, the film is usually compared with the landmark Bollywood film, Mughal-e-Azam (1960), which was also based on the same play. Anarkali was praised for its music, which was composed by Master Inayat Hussain and Rashid Attre. At the Nigar Awards ceremony in 1958, it won one award: Best Lyricist for Qateel Shifai.
