Event Description

This weekend, step back in time and join us for a screening of the iconic film, Umrao Jaan. The masterpiece, directed by Muzzafar Ali, tells the poignant tale of Amiran, a girl from Faizabad who is kidnapped and forced to become a tawaif in Lucknow.

Experience the elegance of Rekha’s performance as she navigates the complexities of love, societal expectations, and her profession. Immerse yourself in the rich music, stunning visuals and poetic dialogues that have made Umrao Jaan a classic of Indian cinema.

Witness the magic of Umrao Jaan on the big screen this weekend at MAP. This event is part of programming for our latest digital experience, Tawaif: Tracing the History of Courtesans in Hindi Cinema.
