Beautiful Gangu comes from a good family and dreams of becoming an actress. Her lover Ramnik promises her that his aunt will prepare her for her dream career, so she runs away with him, but he sells her to a brothel from which there is no return. Ganga quickly realizes the harsh reality of her situation – and outwardly submits. But beneath the surface, she remains fearless, knowing her only chance is to fight back. She finds protection in a powerful ally who draws her into the illegal alcohol trade. With sharp wit and bold strategy, Ganga eliminates her rivals one by one. In a striking act of defiance, she sets up a street screening of a film at the exact moment her political opponent is delivering an election speech, drawing the crowd away. Ganga rises to power and wealth, but she doesn’t stop there – she uses her influence to fight for women's rights, especially for those who, like her, have suffered under oppression. The film was inspired by the book Mafia Queens of Mumbai by Indian writer and screenwriter S. Hussain Zaidi and journalist Jane Borges. One of the chapters was dedicated to Gangubai Kothewali. The film has won several major awards, most notably at the 69th Filmfare Awards, which are among the most prestigious awards in the Indian film industry.

The Partner of the Film: The Embassy of India in Bratislava.
