+Social melodrama about the plight of chikanembroiderers
+in decaying Lucknow, the setting
+of Ali’s Umrao Jaan (1981). The sensitive
+Anjuman (Azmi) does chikan work to augment
+her extended family’s income. She is courted
+by a phoney poet, Banke Nawab (Khan), who
+has control over the chikan workers, but she
+falls in love with her wealthy but weak
+neighbour Sajjid (Shaikh). Encouraged by her
+doctor friend Suchitra Sharma (Hattangadi),
+Anjuman demands fair treatment for the chikan
+workers but the pressure on her to marry the
+exploitative Banke grows. She finally says ‘No’
+during the wedding ceremony and has to face
+the wrath of Banke who incites a riot among
+the Muslims in the town. Anjuman then
+becomes a feminist labour activist and earns
+the admiration of her beloved Sajjid.
