Umrao Jaan

I am not into the typical Bollywood films. They have no substance these days. No story- just a lot of western influenced "acts" that are so typical. This movie was refreshing! It was different and the story was very well written.... Full review

WORST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR. THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN OLD UMRAO JAAN AND THIS ONE. ISH IS BEAUTIFUL BUT DEFFIENETLY NOT A GOOD ACTOR. SHE CANT ACT LIKE A REKHA NOT EVEN CLOSE. I WILL SUGGEST DONT WASTE... Full review

Despite being panned, I had hope that this film might be a fulfilling experience. The main problem with 'Umrao Jaan' is that it insists upon itself. It tries hard to be taken seriously, ergo, the script seems to be written... Full review

Umrao Jaan is a movie you can let go very easily. JP Dutta has not put any genuine effort in it. This movie again prove that aish does not know acting. Abhishek was also wasted. If you can watch movie without... Full review

The film was brilliant. Aishwarya Rai is just perfect. She gets the role of a lifetime & does her best work to date. She surely deserves the "Best Actress" award. My rating: 9.5/10... Full review

Really good performance by Aishwariya wasted because they decided that what seemed like 13 crappy songs were needed to convey that her and nawab sultan were fond of each other. The love connection seemed fake because beside song, they seemed to... Full review

yeah i have not seen this movie but it looks crappy anyway. the director chose to remake one of the greatest hindi movies of all time, and them choose AISHWARYA RAI to play the title role.hmmm mmm. bad ideas. for one... Full review

Shabana Azmi is superb, especially in the sequence when she insults Abhishek [minutes before the intermission].....But the damage done by the first half [unwanted songs and scenes] creates a major dent, which the second half tries to repair, but cannot.....Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Himani Shivpuri lend good support.....people want to listen to the story and the songs here add to the boredom.....Ideally, the movie should've ended with Umrao walking out of her house and her brother slamming the gates on her fa ...

It was a wonderful, wonderful film with a very nice message and it was a disaster. Well, I wasnt disheartened even by that, because, at that point of time, Id actually gotten used to this sort of thing, Abhishek laughs. ... Full Review

To begin with, the film is like an ornate canvas sprinkled with colourful art work. But what works against the film is its inordinate length and a certain plastic feel to the milieu. ... Full Review

We cannot question the decision of one of the most beautiful woman of our times, especially after the disastrous outcome of her last venture with Dutta, UMRAO JAAN (2006). While we wish Nidhi all the best, we just wonder, if Abhishek Bachchan (now a star), who worked for a token fee of Rs. ... Full Review
