Critics Reviews
Stage adaptations of cinematic epics are somewhat rare and perhaps that's what makes Feroz Abbas Khan's Mughal-e-Azam so unique.
– Huffpost India
It's a brilliant stroke to re-imagine it on stage, but it also requires a certain tenacity and astuteness to dare it, and of course, lots of money - both of which are in abundance. The display is there to be seen.
