About this episode
Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where we’re continuing with our 80s Dhamaaka episodes. This week we have UMRAO JAAN. One of the most iconic cinematic moments of 1981, Umrao Jaan is widely considered to be Rekha’s most celebrated performance. Directed by Muzaffar Ali and with enduring music by Khayyam, Rekha plays the role of a famous courtesan who navigates love and family in the midst of the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Costarring Naseeruddin Shah, Farooq Shaikh, Raj Babbar, Shaukat Azmi, Dina Pathak and others, Umrao Jaan is an essential part of 80s Hindi cinema. A big Shoutout to our friend Dj Shai Guy for the 80's Dhamaka Theme song. You can check out more of Shai's work here 💖 Join Our Patreon & Get Exclusive Perks! 💖 Love Bollywood?
