This movie shows the Nawabs and their companions living it up and often visiting the 'Kotha Singers' (courtesans)for their evening entertainment.That entertainment included drinking alcohol while watching the young attractive girls doing Mujra dancing and singing.It had become a favorite pass-time for many young Mughal nobles.Naturally,they also used to fall for these attractive young girls and try to romance them and it often would lead to some tragic circumstances because their elders would intervene and disapprove of their association with these courtesans.All this happens in this movie-romance,disapproval of this unethical behavior by the prevailing Muslim and Mughal culture during the declining period of Mughal Empire in India-18th century period before the British East India Company took over from the Mughal Emperors.It's a 'standard formula' love story just like many other musical entertainment movies of the 1950's in India. Occasionally comedians provide the lighter moments in the film.Excellent film songs and music make this movie worth watching !!!
