Grand revival of Mughal-E-Azam

By IndiaFM News Bureau, June 09th, 2004 - 1430 hrs IST


K.Asif's Mughal-e-Azam - one of Bollywood's biggest blockbusters of all times, is all set to strike the silver screen once again. The epic love story starring the legendary Prithiviraj Kapoor, thespian Dilip Kumar and the gorgeous Madhubala will soon be re-released in new format.

The new format will be re-recorded in Dolby Digital sound, which will enhance the cinematic experience. Music maestro Naushad who composed the music of the original film is reworking on his original compositions, recording it in the present generation sound technology though retaining the voices of the singers. Music director Uttam Singh is helping Naushad in this unique experiment along with two-dozen musicians brought down from Chennai.

And that's not all! While the original black-and-white film only had one song “Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya” in color, the refurbished version will be in color print throughout. The four-decade-old black-and-white negatives are being converted into color prints through specially designed software.

The outcome of this new version Mughal-E-Azam if positive will be a trendsetter in reviving many more golden classics.

thats nice...they should re-release more old films

but I wish they don't put other films in color...one article mentioned Awara, Mahdumati and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam....these films would not be the same if they were in color....the whole essence would be gone.

Why can't people watch these films the way they are? fixing the print is good...but adding color is wrong...
