The only other person I can see in this role (although she would never be given it) is Madhuri Dixit.Īnyway, to the old movie. Having said that, I guess Ash is the natural choice for this character.

I can’t really think of any other reasons to remake this movie without updating it (as was done with ‘Don’) or trying to put a new spin on it. I guess they just couldn’t resist putting Ash in ornate costumes and jewelry (I always think Ash is at her most gorgeous dressed in traditional Indian outfits) and showcasing her dancing skills. Guess I’ll have to wait awhile to find out if I agree.Īfter seeing the original ‘Umrao Jaan’, though, I wonder why they’re doing a remake. The review also says Ash looks beautiful (the reviewer even compares her beauty to Rekha’s, as though that has anything to do with anything) but that her performance isn’t great, and that Abhishek was woefully miscast, although he and Ash have great chemistry in their scenes together. According a review I read on the radiosargam website, the new movie is a poorly-directed disappointment. The new ‘Umrao Jaan’ stars Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. Produced and directed by Muzaffar Ali, and released in 1981, the original film stars Rekha in a performance that is seen as the defining role of her career. In view of the release of the new ‘Umrao Jaan’ film, I finally got round to watching my 'Umrao Jaan' DVD.
