India will bless your soul with this film as it touches the depth and beauty of love without reservation. The story of the beautiful courtesan, Umrao Jaan, is so profoundly moving that you might personally experience both impatience for a love so passionate, and conversely fear it. Delve heart first into the complex layers of the beauty of India, her mannerisms and customs, and the characters of this story, impeccably portrayed by Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. They deserve nothing but the highest praise as they become your iridescent ambassadors into the richness of India, and to life here on this Earth-plane as we seek to find the beauty and inspiration in our own lives thru true, unconditional and unblemished love. This production, directed by J.P. Dutta, is artistry that can only have been channeled from the heavens.

If you fascinated by India, as i am, then you will absolutely adore this movie. Aishwarya Rai is as gorgeous as it can be. Beautiful story, breath taking dances and songs.Not a single kiss during the entire movie. So pure and innosent, unlike European movies. The movie is 3 hour long, so take your time and enjoy every second of it. I sure did.

This is a remarkable movie that touches one mind, body, soul and emotions. Life is hard, but it is fair. Umrao Jann, was rejected, detested, and even hated. Despite, the hand that life handed her she accepted her fate a made the best of it. It not unusual for the life of a cortiscan to be extremely painful. Her spirit was broken in her professional, but her soul had the strength to surrender to her destiny.

I wasnt sure how this movie would be and if i would like it but i figured why not try it out no harm done. So when i received it in the mail, i watched it immediately. And I loved it, i was so glad for subtitles! It is truly a good movie.

I thought this was a beautiful movie. The only reason why I rate it a 4 out of 5 is because there was a major skip in a scene and I feel I might have missed something.

Okay, this movie has great acting, great scenery, great dance scenes(a little more in the traditional sense than the crazy fun of modern era) it is a great movie, but the story is Tragic. Just so you know, you won't be happy at the end of this movie. Still worth seeing, but be prepared.

enjoyable, but have a sad outcome. some historical notes throughout. beautifully filmed. loved the sceenery and the architecture

This movie is really good. I loved it since I first saw it. Very good and sad and romantic story. Songs can be abit long and repetative, but the acting is good and storyline great.

The DVD is an ADLABS product with good image quality. Just having Aishwarya Rai as the leading lady in any movie is already a must. With this movie we've also got a good story, songs and dances. This is Bollywood at his best.
