Weird hair and Odder Ornaments: Taj Mahal

[dangermousie]

Yes, Bollywood has finally made a movie about Taj Mahal, or the love affair that led to it, precisely. The movie probably won't be earth-shattering, but with the sets and costumes and me being a sucker for period, I am definitely seeing it.

Here are some stills, involving elaborate head-dresses, romance-novel poses, and more jewelry than in Tiffanys:


Would someone this hot really need to build ever-lasting monuments to convince chicks he is into them? (Yeah, I know the story but the truth shall never interfere with cheap shots)


She IS beautiful:


Ahhhh, wangst. Yawn.


I bet she died from overdose of make-up:


She looks evil, but wouldn't you, if forced to wear that on your head?


Gandalf!

I need to invent a new word: blingtacular!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heck yeah. That is some scary amount of loot those people are wearing.

Sonya Jehan (the woman playing Mumtaz Begum) is one of the most beautiful women I have seen.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes, she is.

I don't know if they should make this movie. I mean, it was an obvious eventuality, but I still think the Taj is too magical a thing to make a movie about. :(

Come on, it's Bollywood. I am surprised it took them so long!

Aren't there like a whole bunch of Taj Mahal movies? Even a black and white one?

Is that KIM SHARMA in the family portrait?!

Thanks for the pics! Yay, costumes. XD

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am not sure. I didn't recognize anyone except Manisha Koirala...

Yeah, the costumes are extreme!

[rajni.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, which one is Manisha? I definitely cannot spot her.

[adhuri-roshni.livejournal.com]

Hah neither can I! But it definitely looks like the one on the left is Kim.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

The one with the peacock feather I think is Manisha. She is in the movie, playing Shah Jehan's daughter.

[adhuri-roshni.livejournal.com]

Mmm pretty sure that's Pooja Batra who plays the queen.

I'm entertained by the guy who looks like he's wearing a French pastry on his head. And yes, that is a lot of hair ornament. I'm surprised the ladies aren't tipping over.

They probably have a servant pushing them from behind. That is some serious bling!
