Dil Cheez Kya Hai… Captivating poetry. Brilliant Storytelling. Finest showcase of a bygone era.

A classic that will certainly be counted amongst the best of Indian cinema.

Umrao Jaan, the timeless tale of love, shayari and grace by filmmaker Muzaffar Ali Ji continues to captivate the audience 44 years after its original release.

Delighted to attend and celebrate the iconic re release of the masterpiece. If Umrao Jaan took us back to Awadh of 1800’s, the digitally restored version by @NFAIOfficial took us back to 1981.
