Apart from appearing in several commercially successful films, Madhubala also went on to earn critical praise for her portrayal of a social worker in "Amar" (1954), a modern miss in "Mr. & Mrs. '55" (1955), a cabaret dancer in "Howrah Bridge" (1958) and two sisters with constrasting personalities in "Kal Hamara Hai" (1959). Her highest-grossing releases came with the comedy "Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi" (1958), the romantic musical "Barsaat Ki Raat" and the magnum opus "Mughal-e-Azam" (both in 1960). Her performance in "Mughal-e-Azam" as the ill-fated courtesan Anarkali was widely acclaimed by critics, who labelled it as the finest given by her; and earned her her only nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Actress. In the early 1960s, Madhubala continued starring in commercial successes such as "Jhumroo" (1961), "Passport" (1961) and "Half Ticket" (1962), but her work in this decade was limited to five releases only. Her last completed film was the posthumously released "Jwala" (1971).
