I just finished reading your article '...Awesome. I just finished reading your article 'Body and Soul' on Pakeezah over on the Indian auteur site; I was very impressed. I am currently writing a book on Indian cinema and my next chapter is on Pakeezah and will focus on the Courtesan film. I do agree with much of what you have to say especially your observations regarding the tactile nature of the film. I am also looking at Umrao Jaan but still struggling to make sense of the term courtesan because it is interchangable with tawaif and by implication also prostitute. Are we saying that courtesan and tawaif are in fact the same thing? Anyway, this article on narrative and spectacle looks very impressive, will read and digest. Thanks for essay on Pakeezah, has been very useful and also one of the most detailed critiques that I could find on the web.Omar Ahmedhttp://omarsfilmblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13095695.post-81797510172839258502010-01-31T09:51:29.949-05:002010-01-31T09:51:29.949-05:00Terrific!
