=== Critical reception ===
''Mumtaz Mahal'' opened to overwhelmingly negative reviews. A review published in ''[[Filmindia]]'' magazine by [[Baburao Patel]] read: "It is difficult to say exactly how bad ''Mumtaz Mahal'' is. Stretch your imagination to its widest and see if you can fit in this dirty picture."<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/filmindia194511unse|title=FilmIndia (1945)|date=1945|publisher=Bombay|others=New York The Museum of Modern Art Library}}</ref>

An audience named Ammunuddin's reaction to the film was: "[In] ''Mumtaz Mahal'', history has been mercilessly murdered, facts have been deliberately distorted, the story is crudely conceived and the acting and even the music is intensely boring. Historical records reveal that it was during [[Shah Jahan|Shah Jehan]]'s time that the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal empire]] was at its height of power. When will our producers and other big guns of the [[Indian Film Industry]] put art before Mammon worship?"<ref name=":0" />
