Overview

• The Prime Video release is a partly fictionalised biopic inspired by Kashmiri legend Raj Begum, depicting Radio Kashmir’s first female singer through the character Noor Begum.
• Saba Azad plays the younger Noor with Soni Razdan as the older version, in a film directed by Danish Renzu.
• Critics single out Azad’s turn as a standout, with Razdan’s presence adding weight, as supporting roles from Sheeba Chaddha and Zain Khan Durrani draw notice.
• Reviews consistently applaud Abhay Sopori’s compositions and Masrat Un Nissa’s vocals for anchoring the film’s mood and cultural texture.
• Many assessments describe the storytelling as a slow burn with limited dramatic tension, with some wishing for deeper exploration of conflict and context, as Alia Bhatt’s pre-release Instagram praise boosted visibility.
