He foregrounds the craftsmanship, perseverance and perfectionism of its maker, Kamal Amrohi, who would wait weeks for the perfect sunset. Desai sees the film as a 'Muslim social' set in a 'Lucknow of the Muslim imagination', as a woman-centric film with a dancing heroine at a time when they were a rarity and above all, as a film that harkes back to an era of 'nawabi culture with its exquisite tehzeeb', a world that is lost forever. Pakeezah: An Ode to a Bygone World is a fitting tribute to a film that Meghnad Desai calls 'a monument to the golden age of Hindustani films'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085646586007,"sku":"9789350293690","price":228.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789350293690.webp?v=1769201929","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pakeezah-9789350293690","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
