Umrao Jaan (1981), directed by Muzaffar Ali, is a hauntingly elegant Indian period musical that stars Rekha in the titular role.
Adapted from Mirza Hadi Ruswa’s 1899 Urdu novel Umrao Jaan Ada, the film traces the poignant journey of a courtesan and poet from Lucknow—her artistic ascent, emotional entanglements, and the quiet tragedy woven into her fame.
The most notable English version is titled "Umrao Jan Ada: The Courtesan of Lucknow", translated by Khushwant Singh and M.A. Husaini, published under the UNESCO Collection of Representative Works in 1970
This edition preserves the poetic tone and cultural nuance of the original, with a glossary of Urdu terms and historical context
