we read mixed review about umrao jaan . one be always apprehensive when go to see a remake of such a classic . not sure what to expect . i find the whole tone of the movie to be so morbid and grey . sure it be the story of pain but it be not tell with grace . the problem with the movie be definitely the way in which it be tell . in most of the scene the character of umarao be show cry weeping or fearful . quite the opposite of a courtesan character which be about presentation entertainment . good scene fail to make an impact . and the choreography be terrible too . merchant have do a terrible job no grace . all in all do not waste your time on this movie .
