"The Empress of Mumbai" movie review

Gangubai Kathiawadi, formerly known as Ganga Harjivandas, was born in the Indian state of Gujarat in 1939 to a woman who tried to legalize prostitution.

Gangubai came from a wealthy and prosperous family of lawyers and dreamed of becoming a Bollywood actor, but when he was 16 years old, he was abducted by his boyfriend and sold to the red light district of Kamatipur for 1,000 rupees. In order to survive, she could only give in, and sometimes she even experienced being seriously injured and hospitalized by violent clients...

Later, she turned her grief and anger into strength. In addition to taking care of many orphans and fighting for educational opportunities for them, she also tried to defend the interests of sex workers through political force.

Gangubai, dressed in a white sari, is like a rose with thorns, persevering in the ups and downs of life, fighting black and white; at the same time, she is also like a white lotus, although fate has trapped her in the quagmire , she is still struggling to bloom and bloom, fragrant and fragrant.

The film is based on a true story and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The heroine (Alia Bhatt), in addition to her appearance, also plays the role vividly, from a simple girl at the beginning to a powerful and respected eldest sister in the latter part , the gas field can be converted freely. In addition, the rhythm of the content of the story is well-paced, coupled with the beautiful photography composition and lighting effects, which perfectly presents the messy and dazzling red light district, and the indispensable singing and dancing performances in Bollywood also play the finishing touch. Brings a great visual enjoyment.

Overall, this is a beautiful Indian movie, love it~
