Oh !! I am sorry to request you for making madhubala sketches. You have already made them. These are really beautiful. I agree with swamy ji. 🙂

Yes, she’s such a creation! So many years on, there’s still no worthy successor for her kind of innocence, mischief, fluid expressions and ethereal face. She was also so spot-on with her acting, if you watched her comic scenes wit Kishore Kumar. And her anguish in Mughal E Azam! Wow!

She is my all time favourite. I surprising how her smile represented both pain and humour at the same time. Mughal e Azam is nothing without her performance. Only she could deliver such intense performance with smile on her face, especially in last song of the movie. It is comparable smile of warriors before war.

Oh yes@! Did u see its color version as well? She was spectacular.
The end was quite a twist. There were rumors that Anarkali was actually Akbar’s illegitimate daughter from one of daasi. Hence he was so against her union with Jehangir.

Yes, I saw th e coloured version on my birthday . I saw it with all my freinds at that time. I can’t forget the ending . I used to be very emotional those days and I cried along with two of my freind, both boys , He he he. I was butt of jokes for months, especially by girls who didn’t cried at all. :-(. I still cant forget that day.
I didn’t knew that story although I have read a lot of history.

Hmm, I wonder why boys get straightjacketed into that ‘I shouldn’t cry or emote feelings’ trap. Its nice that expressed yours freely.

That’s what society does to us. It is condemned and made fun of. That’s why boys are emotionally very weak, their ego is very easily hurt, they get angry pretty easily. We the darker half of humanity have much more unsaid conventions for our social behaviour than women. Nobody realises this .

Hmm, that’s quite a deep analysis. I agree with you.
The brainwashing starts from childhood. The conditioning begins at every step since childhood.
Clark Gable was very uneasy since his Rhett Butler had to sob when Scarlett loses her child.
This kind of role-playing makes for a world where both genders are trying to stay within formula and be caricatures, with no outlet for true emotions. I’m glad you are open about your emotions.

Good for you, its cathartic. Much better than bottling up emotions.
