Meenaxi: Tale of Three Cities (or Meenaxi) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language musical drama film directed by M. F. Husain starring Tabu, Raghubir Yadav, Nadira Babbar and Kunal Kapoor. The film is centered on Hyderabad novelist Nawab (Yadav) who is suffering from writer's block. After five years and no stories, Nawab comes across an unconventional muse, Meenaxi (Tabu). The three cities referred to in the title are Hyderabad, Jaisalmer and Prague. The film features a score and soundtrack by A. R. Rahman. It is semi-autobiographical in some aspects. There are allusions to Husain's own experiences with his muse, Madhuri Dixit, with whom he made his previous film, Gaja Gamini (2000).
