1960
October - India. In
Bombay [now Mumbai] Youngsters stare at an amazingly sculpted scene from the classic
movie Mughal-E Azam created by screen writer, director, and producer K.
Asif. The film was ten years in the making and opened to huge acclaim on August
5th. I noted in my diary that it contained a ' peculiar combination of B &
W and colour for the dance sequences'.
