Umrao jaan; i see it gets a very high average at imdb, and the first reviewer there compares the cinematography to Nykvist for Bergman, also says it was too quickly passed over by critics, lumped in with predictable commercial cinema. I'll certainly try to see it. From the Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema (so well laid out, films arranged by year), i see it's an opulent spectacular film about a young girl who's abducted + trained as a musical-dancing courtesan, becomes very popular, then has varying relationships with an aristocrat, childhood friend and a bandit! Film apparently proposes she's the only free woman in society.
