Set in the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar, this 1953 historical drama follows a dancing girl named Anarkali, whom Akbar encounters on several occasions before growing displeased with her conduct. Tensions rise when the emperor learns that his son, Prince Salim, has fallen in love with her and intends to marry her, forcing a clash between royal duty and personal devotion. Told largely from Anarkali's point of view, the film explores themes of class divide and justice within the imperial family.
