Umrao Gone!

Jaanisaar
Starring Imran Abbas, Pernia Quereshi
Directed by Muzaffar Ali
It’s the nature of the feast… and I do mean, feast. Sumptuously spread out into two hours of drama about love, courtship, separation, conflict, deception and damnation during the year 1877 (why 1877, you may well ask), 20 years after India patriots first woke up to the need for freedom.
Jaanisaar is the kind of visual spectacle that could transport you into another century, provided you are only looking at the lights, costumes and adaas. There is an old world elegance to how Imran Abbas’ eyes light up whenever he encounters the beautiful poetic Pernia Qureshi… Or, so it must have seemed to the very romantic and wise Muzaffar Ali, who in all romantic wisdom, also agreed to cast himself in a pivotal role. In this way he not only saves money, he also gets to...

Stylist-turned-actor, Pernia Qureshi is all set to make her debut with Filmmaker Muzzafar Ali’s Jaanisaar this year, and we hear that a lot of thought and planning went into handpicking the ensemble for the character of Noor, played by the multi-talented beauty.
The film is a period drama set in the last years of the Mughal rule and follows the life of a courtesan in Lucknow. Hence, designing outfits that would enhance the authenticity of that time period was a lingering challenge.
The designer said, “We used a mix of wool and silk and got the fabrics woven in Kotwara. Today, most of the designers use georgette but, we avoided that fabric to suit the Victorian influences prevalent during that time.”
We hear that the pretty lady’s look for the movie is going to include a lot brocade work, plentiful shades of greens and purples along with some pretty chokers,...
