Personally, at that time I liked the music of Dil Apna Preet Parayi over Mughal-E-Azam but after I am matured today and looking back I now sincerely feel that Mughal-E-Azam Music had better class if one looks at the music in classical angle. But it is all history now.

Film scholars have welcomed its portrayal of enduring themes, but question its historical accuracy.

I cannot believe that 50 years have passed since I saw this movie. Among all the starcast who acted in "Mughal-E-Azam" 88 year old Dilip Kumar is the only person who is still living and all others are dead.

Emperor Akbar and Prince Salim had to go together to fight a war on their horses and both Dilip Kumar and Prithviraj Kapoor had difficulties riding on the horse. So when this difficuly arose, as per mural designer Mr. Khedkar he prepared paper horses using thick paper stock and the picturization was done in the studio to create the effect of the movement of real horses using trick photography.

We all know the most popular song of Mughal-E-Azam was “Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya” sung by Lata Ji which was based on Raga Kafi. And we also remember that Madhubala danced to the tune of this ultra-melodious song just brilliantly.

Epic love story "Mughal-e-Azam" Released in 1960 is a cinematic landmark in many ways.

The supremacy of the movie can be gauged from the fact that when the movie was re-released in its color version in 2004, surprisingly, it recreated the same magic at the box-office that it created in the 60’s.

The premiere of Mughal-e-Azam was held at the then new,1,100-capacity Maratha Mandir cinema in Mumbai, The day before bookings for the film opened, a reported crowd of 100,000 gathered outside the Maratha Mandir to buy tickets.[8] The tickets, the most expensive for a Bollywood film at that time, were dockets containing text, photographs and trivia about the film, and are now considered collector's items

When the first shooting schedule began in 1946, K. Asif cast Chandra Mohan, D.K. Sapru, and Nargis for the roles of Akbar, Salim and Anarkali, respectively.

Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain says, "I was considered for the role of the young Dilip Kumar. But the role was eventually played by Jalal Agha."

This was one of only two films K. Asif completed. When he died in 1971, he left behind two unfinished films, Sasta Khoon Mahenga Paani and Love and God, the latter released by K.C. Bokadia in 1986.

During Making Of the Film K.Asif was in huge debt so he even bought paan and cigarettes on credit.

The colour version of the film was the first Indian movie to be released in Pakistan after Indian movies were banned there after the 1965 war.

Before every shot, Prithviraj Kapoor (who played Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar) would look into a full-length mirror. When director K Asif asked the reason for the odd behaviour, Kapoor said he did it to 'get under the skin of the character'.

This is the first full feature-length movie to be coloured and re-released in theatres in the history of cinema. Some English films have been coloured but only released in the home video format.

Cinematographer R D Mathur had to experiment with lighting to shoot the famous Sheesh Mahal setting of Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya. He tried painting the mirrors with wax to check the glare, which worked but also made the visuals dull. He then tried placing strips of cloth strategically to create bounced lighting.

For the scenes in which Madhubala is imprisoned, instead of using lightweight chains, real, heavy chains were used to tie her up, in order to make the scene look authentic. So much was her dedication that Madhubala would stand, shackled with these heavy chains, even in between shots, so that the pain shown in her face would look real. She was in pain for days after that, with many bruises caused by the chains.

The love story between Salim and Anarkali in the movie is still remembered by people, till now. Mughal -E-Azam revolves around the story of Mughal Emperor Salim and his love for a court dancer Anarkali and how their romance angers Salim’s father Akbar.
