EntertainmentLucknow Zoo's Nageene Wali Baradari Featured in Umrao Jaan Song
The Lucknow Zoo's Nageene Wali Baradari, a 19th-century pavilion, served as the iconic film set for Rekha's song 'In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke' in Muzaffar Ali's Umrao Jaan. Ali chose this authentic location to capture the true spirit and historical texture of Awadhi culture, avoiding artificial Mumbai studios. The zoo's 71-acre sanctuary holds this architectural gem where the film brought Mirza Ruswa's novel to life.
