The protagonist was widely known for her controversies in Mumbai, during the 1960’s. She was involved in a bizarre assortment of work, which included being a sex worker, businesswoman, criminal, and also the head of a sex racket. The film narrates how Gangubai Kathiawadi got into this filthy business, mentioning the time when she fell in love with an accountant and came to Mumbai to start her new life. However, her life took a pivotal turn when her husband sold her for mere 500 rupees. Henceforth, she faces various adversaries of life all by herself, and fights dauntlessly with everyone who came in her way.
One of the reasons to look forward to this film, is the flawed character who has some lesser known facts about her life. Despite her notorious image, she was a huge defender of her fellow females and would also demand government officials for aid and support, something which was considered unusual and atypical at that time and age. It would be exciting to see what aspects of the lead role, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is willing to divulge in, and  since this is the fastest ever project completed by the film maker( just 9 months), who is known to take his time with the details, the excitement of the audience is hard to contain.

Movies that changed the world

At times, cinema can be both a mirror to the society and a thought-provoking tool. These are some movies which changed the way society thinks drastically. A Girl in the River Directed by Oscar-winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, this movie depicted the reality of today’s world and how honour killing is a severe issue in the society of Pakistan. This movie led the Pakistani government to review its laws regarding honour killing. Blackfish This documentary showed how the Orcas are kept in harsh captivity and how it is harmful to their habitat, and this brought a massive change of the Shamu attractions being completely shut down by SeaWorld.

Jayeshbhai Jordaar film Review: Ranveer Singh goes clearly in an ungainly mashup of different issues

  Just before Jayeshbhai acquaints his relatives with us, he draws a somewhat senseless relationship between researchers needing to be aware of Mars and his folks needing to be aware of the orientation of his kid. What's normal between a planet a lady's womb? Indeed, they're both round (gol) in shape. Some Gujju humor to fix the tone and assumptions. Chief Divyang Thakkar gives the disclaimer in the primary scene itself that 'pre-natal sex assurance test is a culpable offense'. Furthermore, the whole reason of   Jayeshbhai Jordaar   is revolved around this. At times a star sparkles most splendid in a characterless film. Ranveer Singh is jordaar and all the more yet even with all his appeal and sincere exertion Jayeshbhai Jordaar is significantly "bore-daar". Unfortunately, honest goals alone rarely make extraordinary movies! The requirement for a male successor is driving Jayeshbhai and his family insane. The pregnant bahu Mudra Ben (Shalini Pandey) is lyi...
