The magic of 'ada'

Umrao Jaan - Beauty, grace, class and that "something" called 'ada', blend it with memorable poetry, soul stirring vocals, lilting music

Too many good things to list..The whole film is like a beautiful poem being unveiled on screen..Rekha,Ameeran /Umrao

In an interesting twist of fate...Aishwarya Rai now playes the role of Ameeran/Umrao..who did a batter job..????...the funny thing is that for her part Aishwarya sobs her eyes out from the very beginning, up until the very end. She simpers and whimpers and yet you’re just not moved.

In contrast, you're reminded of Rekha who in the earlier film suffers in silence all along, holding back her tears till the very end, building up to a big climatic moment when your heart goes out to her.

I loved the movie, even though it WAS really slow and draggy.I was just loving the dances and fancy urdu poetry.#grin#.

It is definitely the story of thousands of young girls.. sold off to become courtesans; practically impossible to escape. And the saddest thing is, it still happens.
