Based on Khosrow and Shirin from the Shahnameh,[3] it revolves around Princess Shirin (Madhubala) who is forbidden to meet her childhood sweetheart Farhad (Pradeep Kumar) and forced to marry a king. The film featured a popular soundtrack composed by S. Mohinder and was partially shot in Gevacolor. According to writers Rekha Menon and Mohan Deep, the film was one of the biggest box office successes of Madhubala and Pradeep Kumar's careers. Plot (Spoiler alert) The film is about two star-crossed lovers: Shirin and Farhad. Shirin is a princess who developed a liking for a beautiful deer she saw in a shop in her childhood. As she takes the deer with her at her palace, she promises its owner, Farhad, the poor child of a sculptor to come to her palace everyday and play with her and the deer. Farhad continues to do so and Shirin and Farhad become very close friends despite social differences; and eventually fall in love. However, a reluctant Shirin's marriage is fixed with the Shahenshah Husro. This first infuriates Farhad and then makes him a wanderer. The rest of the film deals with how Farhad reaches Shirin's in-law's palace and how her husband Husro promises him to give him "anything" if he is able to create a lake of milk from a rocky mountain for Shirin to bath in. As Farhad succeeds, his enemies tell him that Shirin is dead, and consequently Farhad too kills himself by jumping from a cliff in the milk lake. However, Shirin is alive and upon knowing that Farhad is no more, she jumps into the same lake. The film ends with two lovers climbing the stairs of heaven peacefully, holding each other's hands and finally reuniting.
