Umrao Jaan | Aishwarya Rai (2006)

Has anyone watched this movie?

I saw it in the theatre and liked it. A well-made, emotional movie.

I haven't seen the original but this movie touched a chord somewhere. The costumes and cinematography were lovely.

It was probably too long and could have done with some editing. But otherwise, the movie was good.

My favourite song from the movie

Aishwarya looked so beautiful!!!

Ek Asha ji ne gaane gaaye the purani Umrao Jaan ke ... Aur ek Alka ne gaaye hai nayi umrao jaan ke .... The songs and singing alone p!ssed me off ...so didn't watch the movie. Didn't expect a very high quality from it and didn't want to spoil my good memories of the old Umrao Jaan which was ❤️

I've watched the original and I hated the fact that they butchered it by casting excellent actress Aish to play Rekha's character...

Never watched the movie but love the songs

Ash was great. Movie was good albiet a little too long and i wish they had had her dancing a bit more. I also thought Abhishek was miscast

Looks like Aishu, Abhishu and Sunilu all shared the same lipstick 💄

I absolutely loved this movie n did not watch the original

I watched Umrao Jaan (2006) at the cinemas and was traumatised by how depressing the film was. Jesus. Nothing good came here way. She lived a miserable life and met a lonely and even more miserable end. Aishwarya looked beyond beautiful though.

It flopped and was panned pretty much by everyone

I haven’t seen the original but the one with Ash was too long and too dry. And the music was blah too. Not even one song that became a classic like In Aankhon Ki Masti. Ash looked absolutely breathtaking though.
