'MADHUMATI' TURNS 50 ! - MY TRIBUTE

News Item:
Friday, April 11, 2008:
It was a visual treat for all the movie lovers in Mumbai as they watched the 1958 classic Madhumati.
Bimal Roy's Dilip Kumar, Vyjayantimala starrer Madhumati was screened at the globus theatre on Thursday celebrating its golden jubilee.
"It's a proud moment, the film was very popular and now it's a heartening moment," said Vyjayantimala, actress.

And since Naya Daur was released in colour not long ago is this a trend the veteran actor hopes to see more of?

"Yes, I'm very happy but I do not want Madhumati to be in colour again, it's a classic which looks best in back and white," said Vyjayanthimala.
Madhumati which released in 1958 with music by none other than the legendary Salil Choudhury and lyrics by Shailendra, was one of Bimal Roy's greatest commercial successes. The film deals with reincarnation and had a gothic noir feel to it.

Wow Golden Jubilee 👏 👏 Madhumati is a classic... and all the songs are soooo melodious....

I agree with Vaijayantimala.... why they have to colour all the old classics 😕 ..... wasn't Mughal-E-Azam enough

But I like colour in classics! I don't know...it jsut feels a little difficult to see black and white movies....people who don't like colour classics should just not watch it! I don't know what the big fuss is about!
