English subtitles are included but are burned into or hardcoded into the video. That means you get them whether you want them or not. They can't be turned off
This came from Muz who recorded it from a Channel 4 broadcast in Britain. Many thanks to him for the film. I didn't do much work on it but it looks pretty decent anyway.
Amidst fierce Qawali competitions, a poor poet/singer, Aman Hyderabadi, falls in love with Shabnam, the daughter of Police Commissioner Khan Bahadur. After Aman is humiliated by Bahadur, Shabnam and Aman elope and travel to Lucknow, where Aman changes his name to Kamal Lucknowi and hopes to earn a living by singing. But his voice gives him away and soon he will be hunted by a friend-turned-foe, Inspector Shekhar, who is determined to arrest him.
