Umrao Jaan |
After finishing his sentence, Dilawar kidnaps Amiran and sell her to a kotha owned by Khanum Sahib (Shabana Azmi) in Lucknow. The kotha is also a temple of learning.
Khanum gives her the name 'Umrao'. She is in the care of Bua (Himani Shivpuri) and Maulvi Sahib (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) who educate her. She grows up in the company of Bismillah (Divya Dutta), Khurshid (Ayesha Julka) and Gauhar (Puru Raaj Kumar). She gives her first performance and becomes a rage in Lucknow.
Nawab Sultan (Abhishek Bachchan) is smitten by her. She too falls in love with him. But luck is not on her side. Problems beset the lover until they are separated forever.
A dacoit, Faiz (Suniel Shetty), too is smitten by Umrao and causes a major misunderstanding between the lovers. Faiz manages to bring an interesting twist in the tale.
Later, the war makes Umrao homeless. She returns to Faizabad in the hope of meeting her family. She discovers that her father is dead. To add to her miseries, her mother (Maya Alagh) and brother disown her. Amiran is forced to become Umrao Jaan again.
