From the first poster of Vidya Balan as Begum Jaan, we had a feeling that this was going to be something special. Then the trailer released and we knew we were right. This fierce avatar of Vidya Balan had arrived and we could not wait to see her character’s story come alive onscreen. Directed by Srijit Mukherji, the film sees Vidya play a madam of a brothel, a tigress, who protects and fights for her home and her pack during the Partition.
See what we mean?
In this in-depth conversation with Stacey, the brilliant Vidya shares what it was like to play this role, the challenges and the joys, and why she feels that there is a Begum Jaan in every woman.
You have told me earlier that you go by instinct when choosing your roles, what was it about this that you knew this was a film I have to do?...

The final track of Begum Jaan, the soulful Woh Subaah Hum Hi Se Aayegi has been released. Penned by the popular Indian Poet Sahir Ludhianvi, the song has been sung by the versatile Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal who have always known to give us songs to remember.
Here’s something cool: the track has a very interesting story behind it. Based on the partition era, Bharat Bhagyo Bhidata of Rajkahini (Bengali version of Begum Jaan), garnered great acclaim. During the making of Begum Jaan, Srijit Mukerji was left to ponder about how the final track should be. Giving us the backstory, Srijit said, “We were contemplating translating the four lesser known stanzas of the poem (only the first one was declared the National Anthem). We were hoping to get Gulzaar Saab on board but it dawned on us that a Supreme Court ruling forbids us to add new lyrics...

We have the second track from Begum Jaan and it is another track with lyrics that will really pull the hearstrings and from the scenes shown in the video portrays the emotions of the film. Titled ‘Aazaadiyan’, the epic sung by the brilliant duo of Sonu Nigam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is just amazing.
Composed by the veteran Anu Malik, Anu and Sonu are known to give us the biggest superhits of our times whether it was Shahrukh Khan’s Main Hoona Na or the chartbuster Sandese Aate Hain from the film Border. Begum Jaan’s ‘Aazaadiyan’ is another superb song that will be remembered.
Get lost in the music and the incredible vocals by these two masters! We can’t wait to hear the entire track!
If the first two songs are to go buy Begum Jaan is looking to be one of the best OSTs of 2017.
