LG praised the film
Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena attended the special screening of 'Umrao Jaan' in Delhi. During this, the film's director, Muzaffar Ali, was also present with him. Before watching the film, LG said that he has seen 'Umrao Jaan' countless times due to the direction, story, songs, and lyrics. While talking to ANI after the screening, LG praised 'Umrao Jaan' and called it a unique film. He said, "Umrao Jaan, made by Muzaffar Ali 44 years ago, has become such a unique film that it is very difficult to make it in today's time. This is a film in which every character has played their role. Music, songs, direction, everything in this film is unique. This is a successful film in actress Rekha's career." This film gave recognition to Rekha. Further praising the film and Rekha, the Lieutenant Governor said, "It would not be wrong to say that Rekha became Rekha with this film. I am sure that this film will prove to be a milestone in the times to come, which will always be remembered in the Mumbai film industry." Muzaffar Ali called 'Umrao Jaan' timeless. During this, director Muzaffar Ali described 'Umrao Jaan' as timeless and ageless and said that I think this film has no age, no limit. It was made for the time of 150 years ago. Therefore, it was a historical film and it is made according to that era. It is as relevant today as it would have been back then. This film is full of nostalgia and hard work for me.
