When you hear the word Ustaad, one name echoes louder than any other: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The man whose voice broke boundaries, whose qawwalis weren’t just songs but spiritual journeys, is finally getting the tribute he deserves — and this time, it’s not just a film, it’s a revelation.
A new documentary project titled “Ustaad” (also known as Ustad The Film) is about to shake the music world. This isn’t your regular biography. It dives deep into Nusrat’s raw beginnings, his struggles to find space in a modernizing music industry, and his rise to become a global icon who could move hearts in Tokyo, Toronto, and Timbuktu with the same breath.
But here’s the shocking part: hidden for decades in storage, a “lost album” of Nusrat’s was discovered — titled “Chain of Light”. These were qawwalis and recordings nobody alive today has ever heard. Imagine unheard Nusrat verses, his voice captured in its purest power, now being brought back to life for the world through this documentary. Goosebumps, right?
Packed with rare footage and untold stories, “Ustaad” proves true art never dies. More than a documentary, it’s a cultural earthquake.
