| Based on the romance between 17th-century MughaI ruIer Shah Jahan and his queen, this epic siIent fiIm is the ravishing, romantic taIe behind the creation of one of the worId's most iconic structures: the Taj MahaI. Shot entirely on Iocation in lndia, it features lavish costumes and gorgeous settings - alI the more impressive in this 2K restoration by the BFI National Archive which features a speciaIly commissioned score by the Grammy Award-winning Anoushka Shankar. Produced by and starring lndian film legend Himansu Rai, the fiIm is performed by an aII-Indian cast, featuring Rai as humbIe potter Shiraz, who foIlows his chiIdhood sweetheart Selima (Enakshi Rama Rau) when she's sold by slave traders to the future emperor (Charu Roy). A historical romance set in the Mughal Empire. SeIima (Enakshi) is a princess-foundling raised by a potter and loved by her brother, Shiraz (Rai). She is abducted and sold as a slave to Prince Khurram, later Emperor Shah Jehan (Roy), who faIls for her, to the chagrin of the wiIy DaIia (Seeta Devi). When Selima is caught with Shiraz, the young man is condemned to be trampled to death by an elephant. A pendant reveaIs SeIima's royaI status and she saves her brother, marries the prince and becomes Empress Mumtaz MahaI whiIe DaIia is banned for her machinations against Selima. When SeIima dies (1629), the emperor builds her a monument to the design of the now old and blind Shiraz, the Taj MahaI. Bonus features incIude: Music of lndia |
