Trivia The song "Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya" has an unusual history to it: it cost Rs. 10 million at a time when a film would be made for less than a million; it was written and re-written 105 times by the lyricist, Shakeel Badayuni, before the music director, Naushad, could approve of it; it was shot in the renowned Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors); and in those days of sound recording, editing and mixing, as there was no way to provide the reverberation of sound, Naushad had playback singer Lata Mangeshkar sing the song in a studio bathroom.

Goofs Music and dancing styles from the 19th century were depicted, although the story takes place in the 16th century. For example, Thumri, a semi-classical music form developed in the 19th century, is adopted in a dance sequence in Kathak style, which is a 16th-century dance form. See more »

Quotes Servant: [as she sees a crown over Bahar's head] Oh! my queen don't you fear that someone would see you in this crown, and that would cause trouble as many girls would die for this.
Bahar: Those who wear crowns do not fear. If they do, the crown won't last long on their head.
