Songs of Paradise

Songs of Paradise follows the real life of Kashmiri singer Raj Begum, set in the 1950s.

The movie has beautiful frames capturing both the interiors and the scenic backgrounds of Kashmir. Saba Azad plays her role with innocence. Zain Durrani carries the charm needed for his role. Sheeba Chaddha does a decent job, although Saba's and Sheeba's dialogue delivery and diction feel off-track at many moments. Bashir Lone holds the emotions well in the film.

Talking about the music, the movie carries Kashmiri music throughout, and it's pleasing to the ears; a refreshing change for us as an audience. The movie beautifully talks about culture, issues, and taboos with respect to the location. However, it lacks the emotional depth needed to feel the intensity of the story. Overall, Songs of Paradise is refreshing to watch and is worth a viewing on OTT for its Kashmiri musical touch.

OVERALL - 5/10.

Songs of Paradise is a cinematic gem! 🌟 The film brings Kashmir's soul alive with its hauntingly beautiful music, powerful vocals, and stellar acting by Saba Azad and Soni Razdan. The Kashmiri accent may feel unusual at first, but it adds authenticity and charm, making the experience even more immersive.

The songs are pure magic - emotional, timeless, and unforgettable. This is not just a film, it's a celebration of culture, resilience, and the healing power of music. Truly a must-watch!

In movie there are some misleading information like a song "krsa myon nyaay anday" is originally written by mahmood gami sahab but in movie they show this song is written by azad maqbool (husband of noor) which is completely wrong .

And many more mistakes Apart from these mistakes, movie is good and Dramatic.

This is undoubtedly one of the best movies of 2025. From start to finish, it keeps you hooked with its brilliant direction, soulful songs, meaningful lyrics, and powerful dialogues. The performances are flawless, and every detail is executed to perfection. A true cinematic paradise that lingers long after the credits roll!

The film takes us into the gentle world of Kashmiri folk music and songs, keeping its focus on the main characters' fight to exist in an exclusive male domain against the backdrop of the often bloody conflict in the region. The MC's courage, poise and delicate emotions are brought forward brilliantly by the director. Saba's portrayal is perfect. The movie takes us into a world not often seen without colored glasses. Though as some places the narrative seems to be bogged down, slowing the fluid movement of the story.
