For example, she continuously said Khudda as kudda in the whole film and has many more other pronunciations mistakes. Her body language (which is generally best in bollywood) and her pronunciation don’t present a “Tawaif” from 19th century in Avadh”. Aish probably gave her life performance in the film but she is simply does not look like an Umrao Jan from 19th Century’s Lucknow. In summary the film is a great movie on any “Tawaif” but it is not a movie on Umrao Jaan. The reason is simple neither Aish nor J P Dutta are from Avadh, they simply do not know “what they need to achieve”. It is very depressing that a great performance by Aish (Aishwarya Rai) couldn’t stop the fans from disappointment. Umrao Jaan - Review By Nauman Hannani (Singapore) email: J P Dutta’s…Įmail: J P Dutta’s film is not Umrao Jan but Aishwarya-Jan.

Umrao Jaan of 2006 is definitely a movie that will make Indian Cinema proud. Saroj Khan would have been a much better choice for the choreography. Also choreography by Vaivabhi Merchant is not upto the mark. JP Dutta's version is well made but the only problem is with its length. She emotes and expresses extremely well and looks stunning as usual. She's done a brilliant job in ever way, be it dancing/acting/looks. If a film as brilliant as Swades could be rated as poor by critics, I don't find it justified rating Umrao Jaan as poor. Almost all of them have surely compared the Ash starrer with the Rekha starrer. Many critics have rated this movie as poor, which according to me is unfair. JP Dutta's Umrao Jaan is clearly based on the novel. JP Dutta's Umrao Jaan is…įirst of all one shouldn't compare the new Umrao Jaan to the old version. First of all one shouldn't compare the new Umrao Jaan to the old version.
