Umrao Jaan

Shabana Azmi is superb, especially in the sequence when she insults Abhishek. Suniel Shetty is okay. Puru leaves a mark. Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Himani Shivpuri lend good support. Divya Dutta and Ayesha Julka leave a mark in brief roles.

Anu Malik's music is a disappointment. The dialogues are boring. The costumes are rich but the makeup is garish in places. Excellent cinematography and brilliant sets by Bijon Das Gupta. Choreography is adequate. The script, pace and length of the film, and the songs, all work against the film.

It looks like a film that may not even survive the weekend. A loser for sure!
