Mughal-e-Azam is the first full length black and white feature film in the history of Indian cinema to be colorized for a theatrical re-release. The film’s color version was released theatrically on 12 November 2004, with a digital reworked soundtrack.

Mughal-e-Azam held the coveted title of ‘highest grossing Hindi film of all time’ for a full 15 years after its first black and white release in 1960, making this color re-release poster very collectible!

Directed by K. Asif and produced by Shapoorji Pallonji, Mughal-e-Azam is an epic film unanimously regarded as a milestone in Indian cinema. The soundtrack of the film is credited as one of the best in the history Bollywood and continues to be played till today.
