In a bid to revive the esteemed image of the spiritual and Sufi music of Kashmir at an international level, acclaimed filmmaker Danish Renzu made this movie titled Songs of Paradise.

Renzu Films, spearheaded by Los Angeles-based filmmaker, plans to create old songs from Kashmir aiming to give them a platform. The film dedicated to the veteran singers of Kashmir is inspired by the legendary voice of the late singer — Raj Begum.

Raj Begum, who received a Padma Shri award in 2002, was one of the most powerful personalities in the early ’50s and ’60s. While many Muslims and others in Kashmir liked her art alike, it was her voyage in reciting Sufi songs amid campaigns against her by some radical sections of society, that made her the strong voice of the time.

Seen as an important development in the world of art, the film is a tribute to the music of the valley and aims to tell a heartfelt story of a singer’s plight and her journey through the unending turmoil.

Hrithik Roshan is currently basking on the success of his film Fighter. The film, directed by Siddharth Anand also stars Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi among others.
