Mehbooba was released in India on 23rd May 2008; it was shot in 2000, but got delayed and released in 2008.[2][3][4][5][6]

The story follows a rich playboy businessman named Shravan (Sanjay Dutt). One day, he meets the beautiful and vivacious Varsha (Manisha Koirala), whom he tries to woo, and become friends with her. After a while, he proposes marriage to Varsha, to which she eventually agrees. The two get engaged and go on a holiday together. However, while on holiday, Shravan tells Varsha that he faked his love for her and proposed only so that he could sleep with her. Heartbroken, Varsha leaves the country in an attempt to get away from Shravan, and begins a new life under the name of Payal. Shravan returns to his home and tells his family that things did not go well with Varsha.


Ten years later, Payal meets a man named Karan (Ajay Devgn) a young artist, who begins to follow her. He tells her that she is the woman he sees in his dreams, and they fall in love.

He confesses to Karan that he had been cruel to Varsha/Payal. Shravan is hurt and struggles to make Karan promise to take care of Payal, and not tell their family that Payal is Varsha. He tries to ask for forgiveness, but dies in Karan's arms.


Mehbooba is a 1976 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film based on the reincarnation theme, produced by Mushir-Riaz and directed by Shakti Samanta. The film stars Rajesh Khanna, Hema Malini and Prem Chopra. The music is composed by Rahul Dev Burman. The film is noted for an impressive performance by the lead pair and for its haunting melodies such as the solo song "Mere Naina Sawan Bhadon", sung by both Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar, "Chalo Ri" by Lata and the duet song "Parbat Ke Peeche". The movie is based on Gulshan Nanda's novel Sisakate Saaz. Nanda has also written the screenplay. Upon its release, while the movie was a silver jubilee hit in many territories did not do so well in Mumbai. The film has gained a cult following over the years.[1][2][3]


Singer Suraj (Rajesh Khanna) was presented with a tanpura by his fiance's father. Thereafter, he often listens to a haunting song at nights and observes that its name was "Ratna". One day, while going for a stage show, he gets stuck in heavy rain in an unknown place and goes to stay in a small motel, where he meets a woman named Ratna. During the night, he observes that Ratna, singing the same song he often hears at night, is going to a distant palace. He follows her instinctively and enters the abandoned palace. He tries to call out for Ratna, but learns from the old keeper of the palace that Ratna died more than 1000 years ago and people feel that she still haunts that place.


Later, a portrait of Ratna makes him remember their previous life. In the previous life he was Prakash, chief singer of royal court. He was in love with Ratna, a beautiful and talented court dancer. They do not consummate their relationship as Prakash was already promised to Jamuna in his childhood and Ratna was to become a royal courtesan. However, they decided to elope, but were killed on their way, promising each other that they would meet again.


Suraj, after coming to his senses, feels lonely and confused. Shortly thereafter, he meets a gypsy, Jhumri (also Malini), who is Ratna's reincarnation. Soon he makes Jhumri remember her past life and her love for Prakash. This angers Rita Malhotra (Asha Sachdev), Suraj's fiance and Popatlal (Prem Chopra), who wants to marry Jhumri. Popatlal steals the portrait, and sets the gypsies against Suraj, ensuring a fight between Suraj and gypsies. But Suraj and Jhumri manage to overcome all the obstacles and consummate their relationship this time despite all odds.


In the late 1990s, a foreign tourist befriended me. I no longer remember his name or from which European country he came from (I think it was Austria), but he was a musician and studying composition in his country. He had come to India to study its music, and had fallen in love with filmi (today better known as Bollywood) music.


New Delhi: Cinematographer-turned-politician Tassaduq Hussain Mufti, who served as Jammu and Kashmir tourism minister until BJP pulled out of the coalition government led by his sister Mehbooba Mufti in June, has gone back to the drawing board of his dream project.


Here rests the shrine of the Persian scholar Hazrat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani, popularly known as Shah-e-Hamdan, who came to Kashmir in 1372 AD. He is the one who introduced Islam in the Valley, which when mingled with the Hinduism practised by the Kashmiri pandits (all Brahmins), evolved into what is known as Kashmiriyat today.


The historic Jamia Masjid, with its majestic spaces interspersed with solid wood columns and its inner courtyard of rose trees, is located just down the road. (This is where the Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq delivers his Friday sermons.) Numerous other Sufi shrines dot the banks of the Jhelum on both sides, the faithful using the old bridges, eight of them, to cross over and pray.


A man who prefers people to politicsTassaduq is unfazed by such criticism. Politics may have been an accident, but he clearly cares deeply about the conditions in which people live. That is why, he says, he will not just give away his MLC funds but will use them to build sustainable houses for people in his constituency.


His interests are not limited to Kashmir alone. This year his short film, The story of river Kaveri, was shortlisted for the Cannes international film festival. The film focuses on the years of neglect the river undergoes amid the chaos over water-sharing between Tamil Naidu and Karnataka.


Filmmaker Puri Jagannadh on Thursday said he was all set to launch his son Akash Puri with upcoming Telugu film Mehbooba, an intense love story set against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war.


Peoples Conference president Sajad Lone said Kashmir Files was a piece of fiction, alleging that the makers of such movies would drown India in hatred.Prime Minister Narendra Modi had slammed criticism of the film saying those claiming to be flag bearers of freedom of speech were out to discredit the film.


The report carries a tweet of the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, where she clarified that her brother Tassaduq had worked as a cinematographer in the film OMKARA. However, she clearly stated, her eldest daughter Irtiqa Mufti (Irtiqa Iqbal) did not act in the film.


Subsequently, we looked up the cast and crew information of OMKARA, released in 2006, on IMDb.com, which confirmed that Tassaduq Hussain was indeed the cinematographer for the film. However, we found no mention of Irtiqa Mufti or Irtiqa Iqbal.


A look at the Foreign Service officers in London on the official website of The High Commission of India also shows that there is no individual named Iltija Iqbal or Iltija Mufti currently employed there. However, during our search, we came across the name Ovessa Iqbal, who is working there as First Secretary (Political & Extradition). Notably, Ovessa Iqbal is the first woman from Jammu and Kashmir to be nominated to the Indian Foreign Service.


Iltija Mufti has also been in the news recently over her the issue regarding her passport. Iltija Mufti, whose passport had reportedly expired on 2nd January, 2022, initially received a two-year country-specific passport, but later obtained a regular passport from the Srinagar Passport Office after a high court plea related to her plans for education in the UAE.


But in its effort to demonise the Kashmiri leadership, the film reveals a lot about their erstwhile friends in Delhi. For those who choose to see, it gives the impression that the present dispensation chose to pick technicality over constitutional morality on the Kashmir issue. And that human rights violations are an option for its officers. In an important scene after the Burhan Wani encounter, when her senior officer asks Zooni what could she have done differently, she says, she would not have returned the body of an alleged terrorist to the family and towards the end shows that she could do it. It leaves us with the thought of whether the land is more important than the people. All the talk of providing reservation to the scheduled castes and tribes sounds hollow for a film that sees Kashmir as an integral part of India invests very little in depicting Kashmiris as people with flesh and blood. They are presented as opportunistic parasites for whom 370 was an article of faith, literally.


Seasoned performer Raj Zutshi plays a political figure that seems like a cross between Farooq and Omar Abdullah with a diabolic flourish. Similarly, the ever-reliable Divya Seth turns Mehbooba Mufti into a quiet manipulative monster. In contrast, Arun Govil, making an impactful comeback, adds graces and gravitas to the character of the PM. Kiran Karmarkar, as the Home Minister, is an answer to the claptrap theatrics of Zutshi.
