The ending scene is just superb in which Umrao Jaan wipes the mirror to see her face in that. Its an example of sheer brilliance on the part of the filmmaker who conveys the permanent sense of loneliness in the courtesan to the audience leaving the theatre without any spoon-feeding.

#WATCH UMRAO JAAN 1981 MOVIE ONLINE MP3 SONG#.#WATCH UMRAO JAAN 1981 MOVIE ONLINE 720P#.The two are speaking of shayari and its significance, when Hussain, played by Indian Idol 1 contestant Harish Moyal breaks into the Talat Aziz-Sheheryar’s ghazal, Har mulaqat ka anjaam judaai kyun hai/ Ab toh har vaqt yahi baat sataati hai humein… Zindagi jab bhi teri bazm mein laati hai humein… Moyal and Baghel’s mediocre acting and brilliant singing manage to take one back to the watched and the appreciated, and to the story of a courtesan who dared to fall in love, and lost it all because she was one. In one of the rehearsals at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium’s auditorium, a conversation between Umrao Jaan and Nawab Hussain is on. “Since this was for the stage, the idea was to keep it grand,” says Salim. The web of orchestration plays on a track as a background to the melodies while the Indian musicians play live.

I had to be careful in touching them,” says Salim, who has merged the sounds of sarangi, tabla, and sitar with that of violins, violas, and cellos played by Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. “I was about eight when I heard these songs for the first time and the impact was massive. Even for Khyyam’s songs in the musical, the composers have reinterpreted them their own way. While the musical uses the popular ditties, it also has four original songs including a qawwali. There were some others too: Pratham dhar dhyan by Ut Ghulam Mustafa Khan, Kaahe ko byahi bides by Jagjit Kaur and Jhoola kinne daala by Shahida Khan among the 20 compositions. The moment Ustad Sultan Khan’s sarangi delivered a riff, Asha Bhosle’s voice would follow with a ghazal. The magic of Umrao Jaan largely came from the immortal melodies that gave it the cult status. Apart from introducing a couple of new characters, we took elements from the book that were not in the film,” says Siddiqui. “There is a description of a musical competition between Umrao Jaan and Barodewali Bai, which never made it to the film. Goswami and Siddiqui have taken elements from the book that were not originally used in the film.

“It was an interesting and difficult journey,” she says. Goswami’s Umrao Jaan Ada is played by playback singer and reality show contestant Pratibha Singh Baghel, who had to go through a rigorous training for dance and acting while also singing on stage. A generation’s heart was captured with Dil cheez kya hai aap meri jaan leejiye and Zindagi jab bhi teri bazm. It became more popular after filmmaker Muzaffar Ali created Umrao Jaan in 1981, starring Rekha and Farooq Sheikh, with music by composer Khayyam and poetry by renowned poet Shehryar. Umrao Jaan Ada (Gulab Munshi and Sons Press, Lucknow, 1905), considered the first Urdu novel by many, was feted during its times, and has stayed on as one of the most authentic stories of the life of a tawaif. The narrative wasn’t that of a dishonoured woman, but of a complex and intelligent woman whose biographer treated her with respect and empathy. Umrao Jaan’s tale of love and life, from Ameeran to Umrao, complex thought process on courtesans and the concept of marriage, the notions of age and beauty, and the tawaifs being the most educated women of the times - who could read and write poetry and repartee on matters political and otherwise - were interspersed with her personal story, made it to the pages of a manuscript at a time when the society was quite conservative and patriarchal. He spoke to her, even flirted a little, to convince her to tell her story.

Ruswa was intrigued by this ageing, retired courtesan from Faizabad, who now lived in the apartment next door.
