A film about a British woman in 1920's India who found conventional life boring, and became fascinated by Indian culture, and by an India nawab who eventually seduced her. That story is justified by the visit of her great niece who is visiting India in the present day to unravel the mystery of her great Aunt.
As part of the seduction process, the nawab arranges an ethnic entertainment by a group of ten Hijras (Eunuchs living full time as women), although the justification for this plot element being introduced is pretty lacking in subtlety.
After some dancing, the hijras sing for the nawab.
The performers are evidently played by real hijras, but I haven't been able to trace any credit giving their names.
The film is lavishly produced, but did not give me any real feel of what it must have been like in 1920's India. The constant references to the heat, with no-one showing any physical effects of it, and to the dust, without any evidence of it indoors, became a little irritating.
