Bollywood black and white classics that were later revived in colour

This epic historical drama, directed by K. Asif, starring Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, and Prithviraj Kapoor, was a cinematic masterpiece in black and white. In 2004, it was meticulously colorized and re-released in theaters. The colorized version aimed to enhance the grandeur of the film’s sets and costumes, bringing a new visual dimension to the classic love story of Salim and Anarkali. The re-release was a significant event and was well-received by audiences, becoming the first full-length feature film in the history of world cinema to be colorized for a theatrical release.
