+This often-filmed Arab love legend of Laila and
+her lover, released in 1986, could have been
+Asif’s most formally ambitious film had it been
+completed during his lifetime. As with his
+Mughal-e-Azam (1960) and in keeping with
+his grandiose film style, it was in the making
+for over a decade. When Guru Dutt, who
+played the lead, died in 1964, the film had to
+be reshot with Sanjeev Kumar in the lead.
+When the director died as well, the film was
+abandoned, then revived by his widow, Akhtar
+Asif, and finally released in incomplete form.
+The composer Naushad contributes songs such
+as Hame kuch raahein khuda de de, Yeh
+nadanon ki duniya hai yeh diwanon ki mehfil
+hai. Cameraman R.D. Mathur, formerly of
+Bombay Talkies, developed his baroque style
+almost exclusively for Asif’s period epics: his
+camera moves over elaborate desert vistas and
+complicated sets, including a bravura tracking
+crane shot lasting almost ten minutes when
+Qais is rejected by Laila and leaves, the whole
+town turning out to witness his departure.
