hai teri yaad is dil se lipti hui
har ghadi hai tassavur tere husn ka
teri ulfat ka pehra laga hai sanam
kaun aayega mere khayalat mein
- lut gaye

Madhubala (1933-1969) as Anarkali in blockbuster Mughal-E-Azam (1960)
fun fact : Maduhbala was an active philanthropist ! She donated to relief services for refugees from what was then East Bengal ( and is now known as Bangladesh ). She also donated to relief funds for the Jammu and Kashmir conflicts as well as children suffering from polio, earning her the nickname "the queen of charity" as she was called that by editor Baburao Patel.

Anarkali grieving her love for Salim
i wish i hadn’t loved you. o i wish it was anyone but you. everything that im made to go through, hurts me less. but the thought that if you realised the intensity of my pain, how much will you lament? it keeps me awake at nights. my pain is this severance, this distance, your absence. but yours will be all that and my ailing will shred you to pieces. i wish the world wasn’t so cruel. they keep us apart and think we wouldn’t find a way. so what if he sees us today? beloved, let him see us and take my head. i cannot go another step with this heart laden with such sorrow & regrets. but if something was so happen to me just how will you survive? your heart might beat, your tongue might speak but you wouldn’t be truly alive. o dear god, what is my plight? i cannot live without him but for me to die is also his demise.

I don't know what film this is from; I stole it from a Facebook discussion thread because it was too good to leave.

nothing compares to the complexities behind the facade of simplicity in old Indian movies. you’d think their expressions are exaggerated. maybe to you, their clothes or their words are melodramatic. but the layers of emotions and artistry is so seamlessly tied in every scene that it becomes hard to distinguish. to a layman, it might seem too loud and overwhelming but those who understand the intricacies behind their body movements and contortion of features might be able to comprehend the hidden meaning
even when there was no internet to google and gather global references, these people curated and conjured feelings that were visually poetic. it’s easy to discard the efforts and mastery in the name of “mundaneness” and “slow pace” but their honey laced words, magnificent wardrobes, intense songs and compound emotions are a proof that the mainstream cinema we consume now is a disoriented version of the epitome that’s slipping away from us with each year.

“The homesickness weighing on my heart left when I met you”
Long lost love of Madhubala and Dilip Kumar. Sometimes things don’t work out in your favour, and that’s called life.
