Gangubai Kathiawadi

Ganga, a simple girl, has no choice but to embrace destiny and swing it in her favour, after running away from her small town of Kathiawad to pursue her movie star aspirations. She is betrayed by her lover and sold off to a brothel. Ganga was left with no choice but survival.

With time, Ganga marks her territory and transforms into Gangubai – the matriarch of Bombay’s infamous red-light district – Kamathipura. Gangubai takes it upon herself to become a symbol for the fight against the injustices imposed on prostitutes. She becomes the voice of the suppressed and makes it her mission to try and legitimise a tainted profession that dates back to ancient times. In Hindi and Telugu with English subtitles.
