You will remember the film 'Pakija' directed by Kamal Amrohi of Hindi cinema and starring Meena Kumari. Jehan Kamal Amrohi's film 'Pakija'. It has been 48 years since this film was released. The magic of the best actress Meena Kumari dominated the Indian cine world for 32 years. The pain in the eyes gave her the title of Tragedy Queen, while on the strength of her acting she called it Pakija of Indian films. There was pain in her heart and love which was shown in Kamal Amrohi's film 'Pakija'. Whenever accountability can be fixed for all other heights of the 'Pakija' film, it will also mention music in addition to acting, script, dialogue, art, cinematography, and direction. Featuring Nawabi and Awadhi culture on screen, this musical film is counted among the best Bollywood films.

There is a very interesting anecdote for the shooting of this film. Lal Bahadur Shastri was invited to watch the shooting of 'Pakija' in a studio in Mumbai. There was so much pressure from the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra to come here that Shastriji could not say no to him and reached the studio. Kuldeep Nair mentioned this in his book "On Leaders and Icons: From Jinnah to Modi". During this period, Lal Bahadur Shastri could not recognize Meena Kumari. He later addressed Meena Kumari in his speech and said - "Meena Kumari Ji... I'm sorry I have heard your name for the first time."

Kamal Amrohi and Meena Kumari may have been separated from each other as husband and wife, but as an actress, she was always available to work in Kamal's films. This is the reason that despite being separated from Amrohi for 5 years, she decided to complete the shooting of his film 'Pakija'. Apart from this, Pakija was released in 1972 with 6 songs. The music of the film made history. That year, Shankar-Jaikishan got the Filmfare Best Music Fair for the dishonest film. Pran, who played Villain in dishonest, was so angry that he returned his award for 'dishonest'. Whenever the history of Indian films can be written, 'Pakija' will be mentioned. The contribution in this film is also of Raj Kumar Saheb, also of Ashok Kumar and also of Nadira, but three names will always be alive, Meena Kumari, Kamal Amrohi and Pakija.
