You can call me..
..the voice of a broken heart,
I am the instrument, which ..
.. contains all the melodies.
Who am l, what and am l..
..for whom am I alive..
..I myself don't understand..
..tell me that secret.
Tell me that secret.
Great! Where did this deluge of poetry and..
..melody come from, Bijjan Miyan.
From the neighborhood.
This voice belongs to the poet and courtesan, Umrao Jaan Ada, sir.
Look at this. How beautifully has she sung the painful verse.
Who else can know better than you?
You yourself are a renowned writer and poet.
I have heard about her since long.
And today I wish to meet her.
Allow me to leave now, Bijjan Miya.
Maybe, she may shower on me also with some good memories.
Greetings. I am Mirza Haji 'Roosva'.
I wish to meet Madam Umrao Jaan Ada.
You please wait, I will ask her. - Yes, fine. Thank you.
Ma'am, one Mirza Roosva wishes to meet you.
Send him in.
Yes, come in Sir. - Thank you.
Greetings. - Greetings. Please sit, Roosva sir.
Thank you.
Thank you. May God bless you.
Forgive me, I would not have disturbed your rest.
But your voice forced me.
It's your greatness. Or who am l, and what about my voice.
Don't say that. Because Ghazal, Poetry, and music.
All these are famous because of Umrao Jaan Ada..
..and they are attached to her.
And then, how did this happen today?
How did the pain get attached to the music of life?
You are well aware, Roosva sir.
It's the pain which gives birth to poetry.. to the music.
Great! Then sing for me too!
What would you like to listen?
My 'self experience', or other tales?
I feel that you have seen life from near, and too minutely.
And apart from 'self experience'..
..there cannot be a better tale.
Now what can I say? You stole my name from me.
What did you say?
I am the one who is notorious in the whole world..
..and you feel sorry?
Very nice! And this thing, only Umrao Jaan Ada could say it!
Forget. Who Umrao? Whose Jaan (Love)?
And which Ada (Style)?
I was born in Faizabad and my name was Ameeran..
..and even today I am Ameeran.
Ameeran? - Yes, Ameeran.
Come, I will tell you the tale of the same Ameeran.
Sister, what are you doing? My ring is lost. Mother will kill me.
Hey girl, what are you doing?
Nothing. Just like that.
Whose daughter are you? - My fathers, who else?
That's fine. But who is your father?
My father is just coming.
Her father is coming. - Her father is me. Who are you?
Oh! The enemy of my life!
Greetings, Dilawar Khan. You have come?
You had sent me to prison for seven years by being a witness.
It was me who came a bit early.
Look, Dilawar. I would have not spoken the truth..
..but when they asked to take the oath of Koran Sherif..
..I had to tell the truth.
Ok, you stick to your faith; I will stick to my faith.
Come dear, let's go home.
Scoundrel! He was greeting me as..
..if I had returned not from jail but from Haj.
I think his daughter is very dear to him. - Yes.
Take this dear. Your sugary sweets.
You are so nice father. You get us sweets everyday.
Take this.
Look dear Jamaal, how much your sister loves you.
She feeds you first and then eats herself later.
Dear, may God always keep you happy?
Have you all come back?
Greetings! - Greetings!
You have done me a great favour.
Don't you remember that we have..
..to go in Pande-ji's daughter's wedding.
You have come so late. Look at your condition.
Come freshen up and get ready. It is time to leave.
I do not know what magic has been cast upon..
..you by this tree that you keep playing..
..whole day under that same tree.
Don't curse that tree, Ameeran's mother.
It is just like you. You protect them from the..
..glare of the sun by your motherly care.
The tree also does the same.
Itself burns under the sun and gives shade to all of us.
Even my father the same thing. He earns, and feeds us.
Great! Look your dear daughter has matured.
Come, you yourself get ready and also take him with you.
Come dear. - Wait, take this along also.
Come Ameeran, sit. Give me your hand. Come wash your hand.
Give me your other hand.
What! Where is your ring?
Where is your ring Ameeran?
Where did your ring go!
It is lost. - Lost!
Do you know what pains your father has taken to get it for you?
Lost it. Now, why are you crying?
Have I hit you for the first time?
I am crying because father had worked hard to get me the ring.
Oh God! Come, don't cry.
Come. Come here. Your father will get you another ring.
Don't cry.
Whatever you have done now, Oh God! Don't do it again.
Don't bring me back as a daughter in my next birth.
Whatever you have done now, Oh God! Don't do it again.
Don't bring me back as a daughter in my next birth.
Whatever you have done now, Oh God! Don't do it again.
Father, wedding is a joyous occasion.
Yes, dear. Very much.
Then why were Pande-ji's family members crying.
When you bid your daughter farewell, you are sure to cry.
When I will be bid farewell, will you also cry?
Surely dear.
Mother will go mad crying.
Then I will never marry.
Look dear, you will have to get married.
I have already said I will not marry.
I will remain with you.. will not go anywhere.
Today Mir sir had come from Mehmoodabad. - Is it?
He was asking to finalise the date of Ameeran's wedding.
Is Ameeran sleeping? - Yes, she has slept.
We will get her married. But the expenses are huge.
Where will we get from?
I do not know what those people are thinking.
Looking at our mansion anyone would be mistaken.
What do they know that I have inherited it?
Whatever, but we have to get her married.
Has anyone kept a daughter at home?
We have to get Ameeran married.
Raeesa! Raeesa! - Yes madam.
Look the flame of the lamp is flickering.
Pour some oil or do something. - Yes madam.
But don't allow it to extinguish. - Yes madam.
In the same way the lamp of my fate had extinguished.
The day I went to save that injured bird..
..along with Dilawar to his place.
The aunt in my house will blow on this bird and cure it. - Is it!
There wasn't any aunt there.
Aunty, where are you?
There was only Peerbaksh.
They shut my mouth and tied me with a rope..
..and stuffed me in a gunny sack and put me onto a bullock cart.
The cart kept going, on unknown roads.
Officer, keep your eyes on the road and walk.
If there would be an accident here.
Everyone would say that Dilawar has taken his revenge.
No, I do not have any enmity against you.
Only that these sugary sweets have fallen down.
What should I say to Ameeran?
Ameeran daughter?
Come on Peerbaksh.
And that was the last time I saw father.
Either he is innocent or very clever.
He says that he has no enmity. He will understand it later.
What is your intention? - I will cut her to pieces and throw away
No, no don't say like this.
There is bereavement beyond just simple death.
What it is? - Let's take her to Lucknow.
Lets sell her to a brothel. You will take your revenge.
And earn some money also.
Tell me how's the plan. - You are very clever!
A golden cage for your parrot! - Why not?
If you give me permission Khanum Sahib..
..I will ask for a handful of pearls.
Why is that? - A golden cage to stay and pearls to eat.
Why are you jealous of my parrot?
I also feed you delicious food.
Indeed Khanum Sahib. Indeed.
Take this.
Thank you.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Khanum Sahib, one more small child..
..is waiting for her share of morsel.
Should I present her if you say so?
Call her. - Peerbaksh, come in.
Greetings! - Come here dear. Don't fear.
Come and sit next to me. - Come dear. Don't fear. Come.
Go. - Very good. - What is your name?
Ameeran. - Ok.
Where do you stay? - From Bangla.
Oh! Where is this Bangla?
You simpleton! Don't you even know that Faizabad is called Bangla?
So have you come from Faizabad?
No, I have not come on my own but have been brought forcibly.
Oh! God only knows who's child she is.
God knows what her parents must be going through.
Don't know where these scoundrels pick them up from.
They are not a bit scared of God.
May God not make me speak a lie. We are not to be blamed.
If she wouldn't be sold here..
..she would have been sold somewhere else.
Khanum Sahib, she will be safe here.
Haven't you heard how the girls are treated at other brothels.
God forbid!
Tell me. - Give me 200 rupees.
Give 200 rupees! If you want 200 rupees go to the police station.
I will give you 1 00. - Don't treat me so badly, madam.
This girl has come to serve you.
In her youth she will also earn for you.
Madam, just look at her beauty also.
Your tongue is too sharp.
After all she is a human being. You will get 120 rupees.
But.. - Hussaini.
Do you agree? If not then take away the girl. Take her.
No. No. I do accept.
Then go and wait outside. I am sending the money. Just get lost.
Do it quickly. Now come on.
From today Ameeran is ours.
Khanum Sahib, hand over this girl to me.
I will bring her up. The child is yours and the care is mine.
It's a good thing. But l wont call her Ameeran..
..I will call her Umrao.
Wow! What a beautiful name! From today your name is Umrao.
Come, lets go. - Umrao!
Yes?
Wow! Come. Come dear.
Ameeran daughter!
Dear, sugary sweets for you.
Ameeran?
Father. Father. Father.
What! What!
What happened, dear?
Looks like you had a bad dream; that you got up.
But the dream was good.
Did you see your father in the dream? - Yes.
Come. Go to sleep now.
Go to sleep.
Umrao! Where were you going? - No, don't hit me!
Come dear. Come, next to me. I will not at all hit you.
I am like your mother. Where were you trying to go?
Home. - Your home is too far, dear.
And you don't even know the way. Isn't it?
The world outside is very bad, dear.
So don't try to go anywhere.
Until I am here, I will not let you miss your mother, your father.
Wait here. Your aunt is coming soon.
Look here, what has your aunt brought for you?
Look at these, these costumes. Look..
Ornaments! Aren't they nice? Wear them.
Good!
This. This.
And this.
Now you won't go anywhere? - No.
Good!
And you.. got entangled in the colourful robes and silk threads.
Please accept! - Yes, thank you.
And kept on entangling.
Just think. A child, who had never heard of Atalla-ul-sur family.
She got to wear all this.
The one who always ate normal food..
..she got to eat exotic dishes.
Won't she go mad?
I also got companions and friends..
Bismillah, Khursheed Gauhar.
After meeting them, the desire to be like them also arose.
The priest and aunt Husseini didn't let me miss father and mother.
God forbid, what are you doing, dear?
A cot is never kept like that, it is a bad omen. God forbid.
What happens, aunty? - God forbid.
Dear, when a person dies, only then the cot is kept like this.
Head down and legs up. Let's turn it straight.
Bravo! - Come on, move. Move.
Did you see? - Yes.
Come, today we will teach you about our customs.
Go and freshen up.
My training started.
Along with education, I also learnt of manners and salutations.
And Husseini also taught to speak..
..and the Moulvi sir taught me poetry.
Khan sir introduced me to melody..
..and my teacher taught me to dance.
Anklets were tied on my legs.
And step by step my childhood was left behind.
And youth knocked on my door.
Gauhar Mirza, what sort of a joke is this?
Cannot see the face!
It's nice. If you cannot see the face, then it's nice.
If the face is beautiful, then you yourself cast an evil eye.
Let it be! I am not beautiful.
Beautiful is Bismillah, Khursheed, Aamir..
..their lovers always encourage them.
New gifts every day.. costumes.. ornaments.. Servants..
And if by chance I go there..
Umrao, good that you came, please fetch me the betel leaf spittoon.
They make me run away from there by some excuse!
Do you know, why?
They are scared of you, you may steal their lovers.
After looking at your face, they won't like another face!
It's your misconception.
Their lovers also comb their hair!
Look at me, I have to do everything myself!
If you allow, shall I myself attend to your hair?
What sort of mischief is this? Why did you touch me like that?
So what? Is it the first time I am touching you like this?
It was different in childhood! And childhood is left far behind.
You scoundrel! What is this foolishness? Go, get out from here!
But aunty, on Umrao's saying I was combing her hair.
Don't talk rubbish. I am aware of your behaviour.
You always run around chasing girls.
Even your father was the same. He was a Nawab by name..
..but he never left any woman alone!
Look aunty, don't say anything about father.
Shut up, fool. Leave quietly from here, or I will give you a..
.. beating you wont forget. Get up from here and leave!
Tell whatever you wish, aunty. I am here at your mercy
Shut up, you fool.
I also get angry at this guy, and also feel sorry for him.
Why did you agree to that scheming guy?
What can I do? I was fed up of this unruly and dry hair.
Even you don't have time for me.
Actually, no one has time for me. Not even Khan sir.
Don't feel dejected. Times do change.
Even Umrao will have her lime light.
Leaving behind my parents abode.
And my mothers affection.
An innocent bird only gets a cage.
What is the matter dear? Your eyes are wet.
It is not good, dear. - No, it's nothing. Just like that.
I remembered a song of my childhood.
Don't bring me back as a daughter in my next birth.
The childhood is left behind, and the language too.
Now you will speak in local dialect.
Dear, you must have learnt a new poem. Recite that.
Come on, recite.
Please listen.
Recite.
'Let your eyes mesmerise any one you wish.'
'Even if your eyes fall on a stone, it turns into a goblet'
Great! 'your eyes fall on a stone, it turns into a goblet.'
Wow! But dear, instead of 'eyes', make it 'gaze'.
Eyes don't fall, gaze falls.
Oh! Only a genius could say that.
Thanks. - You cannot escape easily by saying thanks.
I helped you, now you have to help me.
Are you asking help from me? - Why not?
Give me the order. - There is a phrase.
'l had forsaken the world, for the sake of my beloved.'
There are no other words to complete this phrase.
Now, you tell me.
'For the sake of my beloved'? - Yes.
'For sake of beloved.. the world..
'l had forsaken the world, for the sake of my beloved.'
'The same beloved left me, for the sake of the world.'
Wow! Fantastic! What a brain you have?
Today.. I really wish to bestow you with a gift.
Tell me, what do you want?
Shall I ask? - Yes, ask.
Will you give? - Why not?
Then get me a bowl full of sugary sweets! - Sugary sweets?
My father used to bring for me every day in the evening.
What are you thinking, Moulvi sir?
You have bound me for the rest of my life.
If my life remains faithful to me..
..my blessings will be always with you.
But you will not get me the sweets.
I will get, I will also get them.
Dear, keep this with you.
This ring will always protect you.
Greetings. - Be seated. Be seated.
Bismillah. Let's see, what have you learned?
Come.
Marvellous!
Madam. Now Umrao..
Khursheed!
Excellent!
Live long. Live long. You are the brilliance of my brothel.
Wow!
Greetings, Madam.
A lady has come with a message for you.
Let her come in.
Come.
Greetings. - Yes, say.
Madam, I have brought a message and advance from..
..Nawab Shuja-at Ali Khan.
There is a wedding in Sir's family.
It is obvious that all the dignified members..
..of the city will be attending.
Sir wishes that the 'Mujra' (a dance form)..
..should be performed by your troupe
Is it? - Sir has also said that your most..
..excellent dancer should perform.
You will get any fees you ask for.
Tell the Nawab Sir that I agree.
And we will surely be present.
Salutations.
It is obvious that the Nawab Sir..
..has left the arrangements for dance on me.
Madam, Bismillah and Khursheed, both are ready.
Whomever you select, she will stand up to your expectations.
I wish that this dance should be performed..
By Umrao.
What? Me?
Live long.
This is the right time.
My first 'Mujra', for the first time, in such a big gathering.
The whole Lucknow would be there.
Isn't it nice? In a single night, mesmerize..
..the whole of Lucknow's royalty, with your talent.
A diamond is not aware of its sparkle..
..only a jeweller can know it.
You are our invaluable pearl.
Now is the time.. for the pearl to come out of the shell.
Go, and get prepared.
Yes Khanum madam.
Congratulations dear.
Pardon my insolence.
But you did not do the right thing.
By selecting Umrao you have insulted all of us.
Whatever Madam does, is well thought of.
You could have also chosen me, I am your own child.
Remember one thing Bismillah.
There is no room for emotions or relations in this profession.
May God forbid me from speaking lies..
..I am not deprived you of motherly love.
But whatever I do, is only for you..
..so that you lead a comfortable life.
If Umrao is famous, this court will be renowned.
And only fame is the path to wealth.
When God kept a heart in the chest, he also gave love along with it.
Lots of love.
And that too, to shower all of it on a single person.
Wow! God is great!
The night.. when my first 'Mujra' was at..
..one of Lucknow's royal court, I met that person.
What happened? What happened?
No, I lost my ring somewhere. - Where did it fall?..
.. - It fell here. Don't know.
Look. Here. Here. - It's not here.
Its not even here.
Are you looking for this?
Thanks.
I have advised my heart ..
.. a million times.
But still my heart has brought me here.
It has brought me here.. - Wow!
Greetings. Greetings.
I have arrived in your celebrations.
Why shouldn't I do this also?
I wish to greet you.
Look at me so that I greet you.
Wow! Umrao, wow!
I have arrived in your celebrations.
Why shouldn't I do this also?
I wish to greet you.
Look at me so that I greet you.
My heart has come upon you.
But this is not true my dear.
My heart has come upon you.
But this is not true my dear.
Whoever I turn and see.
I will make him my slave.
Wow! - You are amazing my dear. - Wow!
I wish to greet you.
Look at me so that I greet you.
There are many things to tell you.
There are many things I need to tell you.
There are many things to tell you.
There are many things I need to tell you.
Whenever you meet me alone.
I will tell you everything I know.
Long live Umrao. Long live.
I wish to greet you.
Look at me so that I greet you.
Wow! Umrao, wow! - Great! - Wow!
Whether it is the love between Laila and Majnu.
Or the love between Shirin and Farhad.
Whether it is the love between Laila and Majnu.
Or the love between Shirin and Farhad.
If you show a little bit of bravery.
Then even I will be famous like them.
Wow. Great! - Wow!
I have arrived in your celebrations.
Why shouldn't I do this also?
I wish to greet you.
Look at me so that I greet you.
Wow. Great! - Wow!
You have made us your slave. Wow!
You were amazing, my love. - Wow!
She is a part of you.
How grand was her salutation.
Dear, you have come back! - I just arrived.
Your first 'Mujra', in such a big gathering. How was it?
Yes. It is all due to your training, blessings and Gods grace.
Well, it was fine.
Hey, stand up! Let me clear the evil eye cast on her.
Great! Today Umrao was amazing.
You won the hearts of entire Lucknow.
May God save you from evil eye.
You are doing right! Our Umrao was already worthy of evil eye.
She must have become famous with this performance.
What sort of evil eyes must have been cast over her.
That's why the city's noble and rich are falling over each other.
To spend a night with our Umrao.
But only a lucky person can get the companionship of Umrao!
But I will allow only the one.. who will dish out the maximum amount.
Umrao's companionship is very expensive.
Today onwards you will be shifted to 'Sheesh Mahal'..
Where all the arrangements will be made for your luxuries.
Me.. will I be there alone? - lndeed!
I wont go anywhere, I will remain here with you.
I have grown under your loving care here, since my childhood.
How can I go away from you?
It's not far. We are around you.
And then dear, this home of ours, is lower than your esteem.
Don't speak in this manner.
I will always stay next to you.
Umrao.. childhood is left far behind.
Now learn to stay on your own.
Go dear, Sheesh Mahal is waiting for you.
A whole new world is waiting for you. Wait..
Take this. Take this mirror along with you.
Now you need not see the mirror secretly.
Aunty..
Be happy.
Yes.. how do I praise you, Umrao?
Last nights 'Mujra'..
..just think, as if we heard the Melody singing herself!
And we saw the lightening dance!
Don't praise me so much. Or l will fall and turn into dust.
My God knows, you are more than just these praises.
To tell the truth, Umrao.
I have never been more happier in all these years.
This is true, I have always seen you sad.
The hurt of love, is always like this.
But.. Iove is always happiness!
Instead. But, distance separation.. is always fatal.
God forbid, you never face this situation.
But when you fall in love, then you will know.
Umrao. Khanum madam is arriving.
May you live long, Umrao?
Your salutations were so grand..
..that they touched Nawab Sultan deep in his soul.
He has agreed to pay as much you ask for.
He will arrive here tonight, and spend time with you in your bedroom.
You entertain him nicely and win his heart.
Come Umrao. You also got your Nawab now.
But who is this Nawab?
He may be some old man, with his legs dangling in a grave..
..dreaming of Umrao's love, he will give his life away.
Maybe after going to heaven, he may find a fairy like Umrao or not?
Give your life away on the door of youth, why wait for death?
Umrao, Nawab Sultan is arriving.
How is he? - He is like this.
Send him.
Come.
I wish to salute you, if you look at me.
I am saluting you.
You? Is it You?
Yes. Why, are you feeling surprised?
No, we all were expecting Nawab Sultan..
..would be an elderly person.
Have this beetle leaf. - No, thank you.
Will you have wine? - No.
Then what do you like?
I am in search of.. beauty and poise.
Which I found both of them, after seeing you.
Oh god!
You talk very sweetly. Come. Sit next to me.
What are you thinking?
In thousands of years.. I have seen the moon in the sky.
But I am the first person, who has the moon in his hand.
Oh God! Forgive my insolence.
Nawab sir, come, your court is ready.
What is the need to hurry?
Be seated Nawab sir.
When you came near me.. I felt shy.
I knew the secrets of your heart.
It's the first time for you, and it's the first time for me too.
When our eyes met, our hearts blossomed.
As if they were swaying.
It's the first time for you, and it's the first time for me too.
In this romantic night, hand in hand.
During the talks, where did the matter reach?
In this romantic night, hand in hand.
During the talks, where did the matter reach?
In just one meeting, I dreamt about this.
My heart is pounding, and both of us were restless.
It's the first time for you, and it's the first time for me too.
Love is binding, love is fate.
Love is an arrow, of the dream of love.
Love is binding, love is fate.
Love is an arrow, of the dream of love.
Love is devotion.
Love is like wine, which is its name.
And you spilt the wine on me.
It's the first time for you, and it's the first time for me too.
Congratulations. Congratulations Khanum Sahab.
Our Umrao is now Umrao Jaan. (Beloved)
Have theses sweets.
Take these.
This is good news that you brought.
But mind you, Nawab Sultan should fall in love with Umrao..
..in such a way, that she becomes his weakness.
He should not be able to go away from Umrao at all.
Rich folks like him cannot be trapped easily.
I will take care, Khanum ma'am. Bye..
Khursheed, congratulations, take these sweets.
Congratulations Bismillah, take these sweets..
..our Umrao is now Umrao Jaan.
Congratulations aunty. Many congratulations.
Hey, what is the matter, Gauhar Mirza..
..your royal blood is pumping through.
Leave this, and take the sweets..
.. our Umrao is now Umrao Jaan.
Eat. - No, aunty, last night I swallowed a bitter pill.
Let me enjoy that bitterness.
Let it be, fool, let the bitterness be there.
I have heard that Nawab Sultan is coming again today evening.
You are right, that's why our Umrao Jaan..
..is confused about what to wear?
Oh, looks like Umrao Jaan has fallen in love with Nawab Sultan
Yes, even I feel something like this.
Fine. But Khanum madam wishes..
..that your magic should work on him, not his
So that you turn into his weakness.
And if he becomes my weakness, then?
Then advise the cold heart..
..or you will commit the same mistake, that I committed.
If love is a mistake.. then let a mistake be.
Innocent heart, what has happened to you?'
What is the ultimate remedy for this pain?
Innocent heart, what has happened to you?'
When did you arrive? - When had I left?
Is it? Let me see, come, lie in my lap.
What are you looking at?
My fate? - Oh no, the ring.
I wanted to see if you are wearing it or not?
God forbid, keep it with care.
And if you lose it, then you will get a thrashing.
Who will thrash me? - Me, who else?
Is it? So things have progressed to this stage?
Beyond that.
When I was small, I had lost my ear rings..
..mother had slapped so hard, that my eyes were stinging.
It must have pained badly?
No, it was not the pain, but I cried too much.
Ok, tell me. Did you sleep soundly last night? - No.
Your thoughts kept me awake.
You?
I was thinking about my messiah the whole night.
Promise me, until I am alive..
..you will come every day to meet me.
I would promise, but keeping the promise will be difficult.
Why? - Because my father has finalized my marriage to Sabaa.
Saba? - Yes. - Who is that Saba?
My aunt's daughter.
In spite of me, you think of some one else..
..this is bigger than the news of my death.
Go away from here. For Gods sake, leave me alone.
The unlucky symbol of love, return me that ring.
First you return my ring. - Never!
Why?
Because I have loved..
I will keep this ring with me for the rest of my life.
Return me the ring, and leave from here.
Enough, Umrao.
Enough. I am not going to marry some one else.
I just wanted to know..
..how much love you have for me in your heart.
This means you had a doubt on my loyalty.
No, ma'am, no.
And if I had.. then now it is not there at all.
I promise I will stay with you, forever!
And you will come every day to meet Umrao.
Daily. Ok, now you got a promise out of me..
Shall we talk about you now?
Where you are.. Iove is traded day and night here.
Flesh is sold.
How confidently can you assure me..
..that you are mine.. and only mine!
This means.. you think of me as other courtesans.
Nor was I born in a brothel..
And nor I am like other.. courtesans.
I was Ameeran, and now I am Umrao Jaan.
And I am mad for that same Ameeran.
Who was born in the unlucky home in Faizabad..
..and was brought here because of her helplessness.
You are surprised? I have known everything about my beloved.
Come. Is it solved now?
No. first tell me how is your Saba?
Is she beautiful? More than me? - Much more.
So much that.. I feel I am not worthy of her.
Amazing. You are not worthy of her..
..and I am not worthy of you.
What will happen then?
When did I tell you that you are not worthy of me?
Just now, some time back, you called me a deceiver.
Before that, even you called me a deceiver.
The difference is, even after your deceit..
..you will remain an Nawab.
And me, even after being faithful..
..will always remain an courtesan.
Who has understood whom here?
What did I understand?
What did you understand?
I thought of you as unfaithful, beloved.
And you thought of me as unfaithful.
Don't accuse me falsely, my love.
The heart is delicate; don't hurt it in this way.
False accusations..
If you don't like the tears in my eyes.
Then don't hurt me, and don't tease me.
The heart is delicate; don't hurt it in this way.
False accusations..
You belong to some one else's fate, you are not mine
If this is the truth, then don't reveal it to me.
The heart is delicate; don't hurt it in this way.
False accusations..
You just came now, you sat now, and you are leaving now.
Don't just come to keep your promise.
The heart is delicate; don't hurt it in this way.
Don't accuse me falsely, my love.
The heart is delicate; don't hurt it in this way.
False accusations..
Since when I have met you..
Where are you rushing inside?
This is Umrao Jaan's bedroom.
Where are going?.
I know, that's why I am going inside. - Stop! Stop!.
Who are you? And what is this insolence?
Can't you see, I have a guest sitting here?
If he is sitting, then he can also be evicted.
What he has given I can pay double the amount.
You are a too indecent person.
Looks like you are not accustomed to sit among decent people.
Too good! You are sitting at a courtesans place..
..and preaching about decency?
You are crossing your limits.
God forbid, if my Pathani blood boils over..
..and you loose your life.
I have seen many Pathans in my life.
Come here. Come here, Umrao Jaan!
Oh!
Oh! Blood!
Blood, Allah, blood!
This! What did you do?
Mohammed Afzal!
Take him to a doctor, fast!
Oh God!
What will happen now?
Nawab sir. You go away from here.
We will take care here.
I will not go from here.
I will remain here and face everything.
For Gods sake, go.
I put you under my oath, go away from here now.
Why? You got scared?
You have come in contact with a youth of the Pathan clan.
Nothing is dearer than your life.
I am leaving if you are saying.
He went away on my saying.
But did not return for a long time.
I got scared.
And then I pleaded with Allah.
God promise. This sadness on you face doesn't suit you at all.
If there is sadness in fate, what can a person do?
And if I convert this sadness into joy, will I get a present?
You know the name of my joy. - Yes, I know.
That scoundrel Sultan. I have brought you news of him.
Then tell me the news. - First give me my present.
He says: I cannot come, but you can surely come.
Where? - To his friends place. I know where it is.
Then take me there!
But, Khanum sahab. - I will handle her.
May God bless you.
Dear.
Greetings. But take your sweets along with you.
You remembered my sweets?
But where are you going out from the brothel, in a hurry?
Even if I wish, I cannot speak lies to you.
I am going to meet Nawab Sultan. - That, Pathan?
He looks like a nice guy.
Do you like him?
May God help you. Go.
Go, leave. Be fast..
My eyes were longing to see you.
Greetings.
He is my friend Ashraf, and she is.. - Umrao.
Nowadays my friend has only one name on his lips, Umrao.
Madam, this my humble abode. And I am not used to interfere.
And so, I ask for leave. Goodbye.
Your friend is very interesting.
I know the tale of love is long, and time is less.
By the way, two moments of love, are equal to a life time.
Your talks are also magical, like your eyes.
The way you glanced at me, as if you swayed me.
You have taught me to watch dreams.
How can I complain with that life about oppression?
The life that brought us closer to each other.
The way you glanced at me, as if you swayed me.
There is intoxication in your eyes, and waves in your hair.
The ocean of youth, you made me aware of it.
The world of desire, the tales of love.
What shall I say, you gave me everything.
The way you glanced at me, as if you swayed me.
The scenes are dipped in lots of colours.
What destination have you brought me to.
The weather of spring has arrived because of you.
You have fulfilled me, you have blossomed me.
The way you glanced at me, as if you swayed me.
You have taught me to watch dreams.
How can I complain with that life about oppression?
The life that brought us closer to each other.
Where is Umrao? Also call her.
But she has gone? - Gone? Where?
To meet Nawab Sultan, at his friends house.
How dare she? Didn't you stop her.
I tried very much, but love is beyond control.
Bismillah! For gods sake, learn to behave properly from Khursheed.
Who was she? - Umrao Jaan, Lucknow's famous courtesan.
Raisa.
You have come back, Banno. Where had you gone?
I had gone to.. Nawab Sultan had invited to his friends home.
I had gone there.
Without my permission?
You very well know, that without my permission..
..no one come in, or go out.
This brothel belongs to Khanum sahib.
Nawab Sultan is self reliant, and also sensible.
I know that I have to pay for my time to Khanum sahib..
..take this. This is the price.
The way you are speaking, as if there is tyranny.
Oh no, it is raining deeds.
But don't forget my deeds Umrao Jaan.
Yes, Khanum sahib.
What is the matter, Umrao? Why is Khanum angry with you?
What can I say? I had gone to meet Nawab Sultan..
..and committed a crime.
Yes. Finally you fell in love.
You can think like that.
May God bless, we are traders of love.
But we don't have the right to fall in love.
But I am helpless. That's why I have composed this poem.
What have you written? Tell me.
'lt was necessary to fall in love; life cannot be lived like this.'
'Fantastic! Our loves flight was touching the sky.'
'The desires were getting fulfilled.'
'And the love was so deep, that we could not see beyond each other.'
I was about to watch a dream, then..
I have composed a poem.
Recite.
An accomplished thief, stole my heart.
And near ones, they went on sleeping.
Now shall I recite.
An accomplished female thief, stole my heart.
I knew that.
You will surely bring together the thief and the female thief.
Sir, Nawab Shujat Ali Khan has arrived to meet you.
Call him in. - Thank you.
What will happen now?
Salutations.
Maybe you are the courtesan, named Umrao.
Yes. - It would be better if you leave. Now. At this moment!
I wish to talk to my son in private.
Greetings.
Father, you dishonored Umrao and told her to leave.
This is not only her insult, but also my insult.
And I did not like this.
Is it? You found Umrao's insult, insulting?
And you are going against my orders, what about them?
I had told you, not to meet Umrao.
I love Umrao.
Love. Son, love is that feeling, that comes out as blessings..
..from a fathers mouth, and as milk from a mothers breast.
A love bought with wealth, it's not love, but lust.
Then father..
Now you are pointing a finger at the purity of my love.
How pure is our love, only God knows that.
And you are not God!
Now you have stooped down to insolence!
You are talking rubbish.
Don't forget, the wealth that you are spending on that courtesan..
..that is not your own, but mine!
I can Dis-inherit you.
Then Dis-inherit me.
Because Umrao will not go out of my life.
Fine! Then I Dis-inherit you from right this moment!
From my life, wealth, from home, and property.
