Umrao Jaan, a rare & timeless journey

As Muzaffar Ali’s Umrao Jaan returned to the big screen in resplendent 4K, we were gifted with more than just a film — we were invited into its world through the release of a stunning new coffee table book designed by Nad Lab

The book is not just a chronicle; it is an intimate journey into the heart of a classic. Through rare images, detailed design notes, and Muzaffar Ali's reflections, it peels back the layers that shaped the poetry, pain, and pride of Umrao.
Edited by Meera Ali and Sathya Saran, published by Mapin Publishing, the book is more than a book.
It’s a return of a masterpiece.

When a classic novel becomes a classic film and returns as a book again, it makes a rare & timeless journey.
