I have watched this movie over and over again many a times. The movie is real sad and I hate to see my favorite actress end her life. When she changes her wet dress to Dr. Anand's pants & shirt she is awesome, she even adapts a dialect and talks in firangi Hindi, she looked gorgeous like her contemporary Ms. Marilyn Monroe. This scene is enjoyable. The music is very good Madhubala looked stunningly beautiful in the song "Mahfil mein jal uthi" also "Aisi mohabbat se hum baaz aye". The essence of the movie is the outstanding performance of Madhubala. No matter what role she plays she pours her all into it and you get carried away by her spontaneity. From a care free village girl when she is forced to marry Raja sa'b she instantly acts as a "Rani/princess" and behaves as one hundred percent Royal, she is poised she is very convincing. There is one thing about her that people may not have noticed that all the different roles she played she observed the customs of that genres, and is very righteous, sticking to right and wrongs, she never disobeys. Like when her brother, Yakub wants to take her back home she refuses to go and says, "Bhaiyya when have I listened to you, so why would I listen to you now? For the honor of Raja sa'b I would not leave mahal, now only my dead body will go from here". Even though she is madly in love with Dr. Anand,but she knows she is also a wife and Rani of that maharaja, she shouldn't cross lines, and she did not. Personally, I don't want to see Madhubala die, but this is a movie and she is only playing a character, a part. The movie is sad but I love to watch Madhubala. Her acting is perfect to a tee. Nice movie.
