UMRAO JAAN "ADA"

The yr was 1905 "Mirza mohammed haadi Ruswa's" tragic novel with heavy ounces of love was released, it was called "Umrao Jaan Ada" it was the road young "Ameeran" of faizabad walked from

her teenage yrs to become a matured women and a "Courtesan" [Tawayaf].

The story is pre sepoy revolt India tht is bfo 1857, 19th century Lucknow. Then this pretty Umrao jaan played by "Aishwarya Rai"in the 2006 remake, has a Mujra to do for major Nawabs of lucknow and Nawab Sultan Khan which is played by "Abhishek Bachchan" is too impressed by Umrao performing "salam kar lein... ghulam kar lien" ghazal. he turns up to be the highest bidder to spend the night with Umrao, n culturally Khatoon the head of the "khotha" is also impressed by Umrao.

Nawab Saheb falls in love with Umrao and melodrama begins, apparently Sultan Khan is a pathan, cold blooded and god damn loyal. Its a tragedy so things cn't happen as they happen in real lives, complications begin and Nawab Sultan is kicked away from his family and his father's money because he was in love with Umrao jaan who was a tawayaf, and tawayafs were bad named for obvious reasons.

From my point of view "Its a rape of a sacred classic" Aishwarya knows nothing abt acting and expressions and even correct pronounciation of Urdu. Umrao Jaan is looking just beautiful nothing else, minus beauty from Aishwarya and she's a stone mere stone. Junior Bachchan has yet done a good job, portrayed himself well as an agry lover Sultan, who can tolerate anything except unfaithfulness.

As it is a remake of 1981 Muzaffar Ali's Umrao Jaan, it is difficult to forget the music and ghazals of Ali's Jaan, and it is exactly as difficult to remember the music of Dutta's Jaan. Rekha is still worshipped for the role of Jaan, and Aishwarya shud be negatively marked for her pathetic performance, after all every beauty does't have talent drilled in.

lyrics have been written by Javed Akhtar but somehow even this man has failed to re-create the magic of Jaan, the costumes have been too glamorous for 19th century plot, and shooting sights also have not promising. All togather is was a big time failure. Mr.s J.P.Dutta is stupid enuff to make this movie just bcoz it was his dream probably he doest know tht one has to wait for the perfect time to come and more-over if it was his dream then he shud hav given his best, which everybody doubts, or maybe he's simply not capable of delivering a classic in a classic way..
