Umrao has a new admirer, Nawab Faiz Ali, who proposes to take her

Production :

According to Dutta the film is based on the script written by his father O. P. Dutta, which in turn was adapted from the classic Urdu novel Umrao Jan Ada by Mirza Hadi Ruswa. The film was shot on location including some palaces from Jaipur. Saroj Khan was selected to choreograph the dances, but backed out owing to disagreements with director J. P. Dutta. She was replaced by Vaibhavi Merchant.

Several of the roles were changed during pre-production. Priyanka Chopra was considered to play the part of Umrao Jaan, but could not allot the ninety consecutive dates required for shooting due to her role in Bluffmaster. Arshad Warsi was to star in the film as Gauhar Mirza, but dropped out soon after as he chose to appear in Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Puru Raajkumar replaced Warsi. Shabana Azmi, who plays the role of Khannum Jaan, is the daughter of Shaukat Azmi, who played the same role in the 1981 version.Saif Ali Khan was approached for Nawab Sultan’s role in the film along with Akshaye Khanna in Faiz Ali’s role but both declined the film due to other projects so Abhishek Bachchan replaced Saif Ali Khan and Sunil Shetty replaced Akshaye Khanna .

Umrao Jaan Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.5 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 1821.

I saw the original movie when I was 10 back in 1982. Remakes of a successful film are always difficult because to many they will never live up to ones expectations. This one by JP Dutta was a great effort. Aishwariya looked and acted great and Abhishek had a haunting presence. And Shabana Azmi is her usual excellence. The music is wonderful – Anu Malik’s stuff here is reminiscent of his “Refugee” soundtrack (which overall was better) but there are some real gems here especially “Tumhari mehfil mai aa gai hai” (gives me shivers). For many of us this movie will be nothing new – if you have seen the original or “Pakeezah” or even “Memoirs of a geisha”. But it there are new and younger audiences out there who really should give it a try.

Critics Rating  by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 1.5 star out of 5 Star.
