Quotes:
Raja Maansingh:
the surgeon is waiting for permission - Prince! Won't your wounds be washed?
Prince Saleem: [flourishing his sword] They are not wounds, they are flowers, and the withering of flowers is shameful for spring. Look at my sword - it's not only a killer, it is a sweetheart; as well as a sword it is the branch of a flower.
Raja Maansingh: The humour that has bathed in blood for 14 years is filled with poetry - how strange!
Prince Saleem: Nothing strange about it - if the poetry of Khayyam is written on stone, will it change its meaning?

Mughal-e-Azam is indeed a colossal of a movie and its spell binding appeal and courtly grandeur has been further enhanced by the recently released color version.
Dilip Kumar, the icon of Indian Cinema and its first super star as well, has rendered complete resonance to the hedonistic persona of prince Saleem. The love travails of the myth of Anarkali have been splendidly captured on the tinsel screen through the superb portrayal by both, Madhu Bala and legendary Dilip Kumar. Besides, Pirthvi RajKapoor has also projected the required prestige and magnitude to the role of Emperor Akbar. It is worth watching, another time in color scope.
