It was a good movie, it was a hit overseas. It is mine sister favourite movie. Only Abhishek was miscast if you ask. They should have gone for someone else. Aishwarya was amazing, acting, dancing. I really wish to see Aishwarya in role like this again, where she could dance classic indian dance. But overall it was really good movie, and love when makers try period movies. Yep the lenght was really long. THey could have made it shorter.

Yes, that movie is heaven for me. 😉 Hrithik-Aish is a hot pair. But, nothing beats Salman-Aish in HDDCS!!!!!!

Ya Salman-Aish rocked the best jodi onscreen ever😊👏

in this male dominated world, a film like UMRAO JAAN was destined to flop even the original fared averagely.

but the film was not that bad. but the music could have been better. Alka yagnik couldn't create the magic which was expected. richa sharma's one song bitiya was great. acting by Ash and shabana azmi was moving. while abhishek and suneil looked like a joke.

but i really wonder what made JP Dutta to think of losing money at this stage. and now he has been out of work since.

When I went to watch Umrao Jaan in the theatre here, it was actually sold out! (this is in Canada) and I had to wait unti the next day. The movie did do well overseas, it wasnt the most unsuccessful film in the world.

I think the reason why it wasnt a blockbuster succcess was because the music was not strong enough. A lot of people were disappointed that Alka Yagnik was the singer and on top of that the lyrics/music was not strong enough to be even compared to the first one.

Also, the length was too long.

But the performances were FLAWLESS. For me, its Aishwarya's best performance, and it is a highly underrated film! It was sad because she didnt even get nominated that year! Her emotional moments were phenomenally acted. Its also one of her best looks and dance performances. Nobody else could've pulled it off.
