The nikaah scene from Pakeezah:
Meena kumari sets the screen on fire with her eyes that emanate conflicting emotions of unworthiness, helplessness as well as the surging desire to love and be loved.
The face off scene from Saheb, bibi or ghulam:
Her command over tears and her effortless switch from a respectable Hindu bahu to a chronic alcoholic is an ode to her brilliant acting chops.

Have you ever wondered why bollywood films get released on friday? Here is a small thread explaining the reason.
Religion: The hindi film industry was heavily influenced by Muslim lyricists, writers and musicians. Also, most producers were wealthy Hindu businessmen. Since, Friday is considered auspicious by both religions, it was thought as a favorable day for releasing a film.
Weekend: Although the weekend culture is a recent phenomena, but even in olden days, saturday used to be a half day for the working class. Releasing a movie on friday gave a perfect opportunity to producers n distributors to cash in on the movie’s release.
