henrietta jane p 12/14/2024 The overwhelming beauty of this film fuels its sadness. This is not a film to forget or overlay with another version. See more 01/19/2014 Makes you think of the burdens we put on others in the name of God, and tradition. See more 07/21/2010 What a shame these newbies such as Aishwarya Rai dont have the Talent like Rekha. It amuses me when people compare Rekha with Aishwarya Rai. lol Umrao Jaan is one of the great Classics beside Nikaah, Tawaif, Pakeezah and Mughal e Azaam from Bollywood Factory. Great Perfomance by Rekha. Beautiful! See more 06/03/2010 Rekha is magnetic and completely compelling here, and she's very good at inhabiting the role. I bought her completely. The love stories - though I hesitate to call them that - were less convincing, and it isn't apparent exactly why this is so (beyond the: "hey, you are a courtesan, they are paying you . . . this is going to be a problem!" angle) until the very very very end of the movie. Also, the secondary characters needed some fleshing out, for example Faiza Ali and Gauhar Mirza. But I really liked where it ended up, and the musical sequences are really beautiful. See more 02/07/2010 i always thought rekha was overrated until i saw this film, she is definately the best actress in b-wood, the new bimbos like ash and kat and bat whoever the fuck they are dont even come close to her genius.
