*The Other Song (2009)* is a journey in search of a forgotten song by the
famous Rasoolan Bai that leads to the uncovering of histories, memories and
fragments of songs that had long been banished into oblivion. The film
concludes Saba Dewan’s trilogy of films on stigmatized women and deals with
the art and lives of tawaifs (courtesans).
