Aishwarya Rai in and as Umrao Jaan

Aishwarya Rai in and as Umrao Jaan.

A title role...

But... as glorious as she looked in the film, the movie was deeply flawed in execution.

We said it before its release, during the movie and after its abysmal run at the box-office (and the critical drumming it got0, there is no need to touch a faultless classic that originall released in 1981.

It failed spectacularly in every single measure; music, lyrics, performance, narrative, depth, dialogue, cinematography, the singers were lesser, the actors were not on par... even the costumes were inaccurate albeit shimmering and pretty....

And yet, we've seen it several times just to see "the first and second most beautiful woman in the world; Aishawrya Rai."
