Madhumati is a 1958 Hindi film produced and directed by Bimal Roy – who is considered as one of the most influential filmmakers in Indian cinema. The film starred Dilip Kumar and Vyjayantimala in lead roles along with Pran and Johnny Walker. Madhumati had a somewhat Gothic noir feel to it with a storyline centered around reincarnation. It spawned several subsequent remakes with a similar theme. The film won the National Film Awards for Best Feature Film in Hindi and nine Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Music Director, Best Female Playback Singer, Best Dialogue, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematographer.
The soundtrack of Madhumati was a stellar success with songs from the film becoming a rage throughout the nation. This old Madhumati poster capitalizes on the success of the album by announcing the lyrics of five popular tracks from the film below the title namely, “Zulmi Sang Aankh Ladi” and “Ghadi Ghadi Mora Dil Dhadke” sung by Lata Mangeshkar, “Suhana Safar Aur Yeh Mausam Haseen” sung by Mukesh, “Dil Tadap Tadap Ke Keh Raha Hai” by sung Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar and lastly “Jungle Mein Mor Nacha” sung by Mohammad Rafi.
