		Arguably the greatest achievement of Hindi popular cinema, Kamal Amrohi's tribute to his ill-starred wife, Meena Kumari (who died of drink shortly after the film's release), rivals Sirk and Minnelli in its quasi-feminist subversion of melodramatic norms.
		Kumari plays the title character, a Muslim courtesan who longs for escape from a Lucknow brothel; Raj Kumar is the wealthy young man who loves her, to the horror of his parents.
		Due to financial and marital problems, as well as Kumari's declining health, PAKEEZAH was filmed intermittently over nearly a decade; fortunately, it was shot roughly in sequence, and the marked deterioration of Kumari's beauty over time only reinforces the tragic quality of her portrayal.
