One of the rare movies that has the power to make you think and challenge your beliefs and assumptions. One of the better Bollywood movies I've seen. The movie is about the plight of prostitutes and empowering women. Most of the scenes are about Gangubai and her struggle, and her efforts to make life better for her entire red-light district. Some parts of the story are predictable but shown in a captivating way. Each and every second is executed perfectly which is typical of Bhansali's movies. There is a small touch of beautiful folk music too. The performance of all actors was phenomenal. This is not just a movie, but a lesson for young people as the problem is still widespread.

After SSR's death Alia Bhatt has been constantly trolled from the anti-nepotism gang, which has affected her film ratings and comments on IMDb, YouTube and other sites (just see YouTube comments of any Alia video). I'm 100% against nepotism but it should not be a reason to downvote movies. The movie is created by lots of people who never benefited from nepotism.
