Anarkali was an esteemed production about a love story between
Anarkali, a courtesan in the royal court, and Jehangir, the son of
Mughal Emperor Akbar. It started out as a TV play and was such a hit
that it was recreated into a film. It helped to increase audience in
cinemas during the rule of General Ayub Khan resulting in an increase in
consumerism.
