In “Songs of Paradise,” we follow the story of Rumi, a budding musician on a quest to uncover the story of Noor Begum, a legendary yet elusive figure in Kashmiri music. Noor, originally known as Zeba, was the first woman to sing on the radio in the valley, and her transformation from silence to song shattered societal norms. As Rumi delves into Noor’s history, the film unveils a heritage marked by rebellion, strength, and the enduring impact of a voice determined not to fade into obscurity.
