Songs of Paradise trailer
The trailer offers a glimpse into the life and legendary musical journey of Noor Begum, portrayed by Saba Azad and Soni Razdan across two time periods.
In a story steeped in courage, defiance of norms, and the pursuit of self-expression, Noor, a gifted young singer, dared to dream and break free from the shackles imposed on women by society during that time. Songs of Paradise is an ode to her journey complemented by the soulful compositions by Abhay Sopori and vocals by Masrat Un Nissa that bring to life the rich musical legacy and the captivating backdrop of the valley.
“Getting to play a character inspired by the legendary Raj Begum has been nothing short of a revelation. As a musician I pride myself for having a vast listening vocabulary and yet I was entirely in the dark about the phenomenon that is Raj begum. This film has led me to the incredible story of her life and times and her unending musical repertoire” says Saba Azad, who plays the younger Noor Begum. “This film is a story of female resilience and independence. I can’t wait for the audience to see Songs of Paradise on Prime Video—a story that celebrates Kashmir’s musical heritage and a woman who helped shape it.”
Songs of Paradise release date
Songs of Paradise will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on August 29. The movie will be available to watch in India and over 200 countries and territories worldwide.
“Songs of Paradise is a story that moved me the moment I read the script, and stepping into her character was a profound experience, embodying decades of resilience, strength, and cultural identity,” says Soni Razdan, who plays the older Noor Begum. “It’s a powerful narrative that honors Kashmir’s musical legacy and captures the essence of her remarkable journey."
