Bollywood Film I saw
Dear Friends
Yesterday I watched the movie Jahan Ara
Historical Movie.
Jahan Ara was the daughter of emperor Shahjehan and Begum Mumtaz
She was a poet and a great dancer. She sacrifices her love
Jahan Ara is the 1964 Indian Hindi debut film of director Vinod Kumar.
It stars Prithviraj Kapoor, Bharat Bhushan, Mala Sinha, Shashikala in lead roles.
The film is a historical romance based on the life of Jahanara Begum, played by Mala Sinha.
It was the first time this character was portrayed on-screen.
The movie did not do well at the box office.
Mirza Yusuf Changezi (Bharat Bhushan) and Jahan Ara (Mala Sinha) have been good friends
since childhood. Things are not quite the same as they grow up, as Jahan Ara's father is
none other than Emperor Shah Jahan, and men are not permitted to meet
with the princess under any circumstances. However, Jahan and Mirza do meet secretly
and promise to marry each other.
Misfortune visits the emperor, when his wife, Mumtaz Mahal (Achala Sachdev), passes away.
The emperor gets deeply devastated, and, still mourning his wife's death,
he pledges to build a memorial in her name (which would subsequently be called
Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders on Earth).
At her deathbed, Mumtaz makes Jahan promise that she will take care of her father,
which she promises to do. This responsibility makes her sacrifice her love for Mirza,
who is heartbroken and continues to believe that Jahan will sooner or later reunite with him.
The song in the below link is sung by Lata ji and Asha ji
Enacted by Aruna Irani and Meenu Mumtaz
