It's almost a cameo, but if Chand is Sudhir Mishra's Aviator, Jehan has to be called its Cate Blanchett.

The striking actress plays a yesteryear star, and while an inspired bit of casting is responsible for every bit of her looking classically the part, she does very well to stay firmly enough in character to take our breath away. She gets the most meat in a scene playing a manipulative actress deigning to sign a film, frighteningly in control of the situation while looking jawdroppingly good. Nice.
