This is a wonderdul movie starring Alia Bhat telling the story of red street and prostitutes in Mumbai. Like all other girls, she also gets cheated by her lover and is drawn into the profession.
A rowdy fellow comes to her work place and attacks her left and right and she gets hospitalized. After discharge, she takes the help of Ajay Devgan, Rahim Lala to fight him. Next time, when he comes, Lala comes and thrashes him.
Slowly she becomes the mistress of the brothel and later she becomes the president of entire Kamathipura by beating incumbent Razia Bhai. She makes this possible by playing a movie in her lane for all the ladies. The second thing she does is carrying out a marriage for the daughter of her fellow worker with the nephew of the tailor. Both had not happened earlier in Kamathipura.
The third part is when, misionary school people want to evacuate Kamathipura citing moral issues. She fights against this by admitting the children of fellow workers to the school. Kamathipura people face discrimination in school, hospital and all other public places. She goes for a speach in Azad maidan where she talks about all these rights.
Subsequently, she meets Jawaharlal Nehru, prime minister of India and requests for legalisation of prostitution, non evacuation of her fellow workers from Kamathipura and social rights among others. PM agrees to all these requests and hands over the rose in his dress to her.
She returns home a heroine admired and accepted by all.
A very emotional movie where a weekling converts to a strong person with a very strong social message. I enjoyed watching the movie on Netflix.
