Rukhsana Jamal is an invincible singer, who has been recording private albums besides giving playback to film songs, since years. Come trends and fads, she's a survivor.

At one stage of her career a major scandal had erupted. Her daughter Tehzeeb has never forgiven her. In fact, she sought to move away from the shadow of her mother.

After a break of nearly five years, the mother and daughter meets for a reconcilation. They two are excruciatingly polite with each other till the masks of courtesy fall...

Tehzeeb promises to feature strong performances from the lead cast, some classy direction from Khalid Mohammed and of course a soundtrack by A. R. Rahman that is reportedly one of his best pieces of work yet! He has composed tunes on ghazals penned by two Urdu classical poets - Momin and Daagh Dehlvi as well as modern poetry by Javed Akhtar.
