PAKEEZAH:

Pakeezah (Hindi: à¤ªà¤¾à¤•à¤¼à¥€à¤œà¤¼à¤¾, Urdu: Ù¾Ø§Ù‚ÛŒØ²Ø§ lit.Virgin, pure of heart) was an Urdu film (of Bollywood, Indian cinema) that was released in 1972, and is well remembered by generations of its admirers for its touching story of a courtesan, and for its lovely songs by Lata Mangeshkar. It was the magnum opus of the perfectionist director, Kamal Amrohi.

Pakeezah took nearly 14 years to shoot because of change in relationship between Meena Kumari and the director from warm to worse and then back to compromise one.

The heroine of the movie, Meena Kumari, gave probably the best performance of her career. When initially released in February 1972 the film opened to a lukewarm response and was supposed to be a flop. However after Meena Kumari's untimely death a month later, Pakeezah became a cult classic.
