Hyderabad: Veteran actress Rekha gave Bollywood one of its most iconic films, Umrao Jaan back in 1981. And now, after more than four decades, the cult classic has returned to the big screen, restored in breathtaking 4K by the National Film Archive of India (NFAI) and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC).
Directed by Muzaffar Ali, Umrao Jaan is based on Mirza Hadi Ruswa’s 1899 Urdu novel Umrao Jaan Ada and tells the story of a Lucknowi courtesan and poetess who rises to fame amidst emotional turmoil and timeless poetry. Rekha’s performance in the film is still remembered as one of her career-best.
In Hyderabad, the film is playing only in select theatres for a limited time. Here’s the list of screens showcasing this gem:

The film was re-released with a grand screening on June 26, 2025, in Mumbai. The red carpet was a star-studded affair, but all eyes were on Rekha who turned heads recreating her iconic Umrao Jaan look in a regal Manish Malhotra creation.
