“Isn’t it sad that the original author of the play “Anarkali”, written & performed in Lahore in the 1920s by Syed Imtiaz Ali Taj is forgotten and Bollywood has taken ownership. The Pakistan cinema & media industry missed it!” commented a Twitter user. “Got my ticket for chicago show,” wrote another.
“Qayamat will come but no Mughal e Aazam will ever be made again. Because Dilip Kumar (the Prince) and Madhubala (the Enchantment) have left the world. This movie is worth being recognized more!” another commented. “Stupendous! What a rich depiction of Indian culture!” wrote another netizen.
