It’s time now. Stand up. Stay silent for few moments. Why! It’s time to tribute to Kundan Shah’s ironic tour de force ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’, although quite ironically. That’s how Sanjay Chhel’s ‘Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam’ can be described in a nutshell.

Zubeidaa’s all-star cast for both screen and soundtrack brings together some of the biggest names in modern day Indian entertainment.

THIS is the tragic story of a princess (Karisma Kapoor in the title role), narrated through the eyes of Riyaz, the son who never knew her.

Directed by 66 year old Shyam Benegal and set in the backdrop of the formation of the republic of India, Zubeidaa is the daughter of Suleman Seth (Amrish Puri), who secretly takes part in the shooting of a film. Her father is horrified and hastily arranges for her to be married to Mehboob Alam. However, circumstances after the birth of her son mean the poor girl faces a bleak future.
