Reception
Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam received mostly negative reviews from critics. Khalid Mohamed writing for Hindustan Times gave the film 1 star out of 5, stating ″Although Chhel can be a sparkling dialogue writer, here both his lines and direction are as flat as week-old beer. Evidently, inspired by Ernst Lubitsch’s 1942 comedy, To Be or Not To Be (wow, man what sources!), this Mallika-e-Azam is about her bare back, bling costumes and a plot that would need a research team to deconstruct.″[3] and was termed "deliriously bad" by Anupama Chopra.[4] It also performed poorly at the box office.[5]
