Sanjay Leela Bhansali is in front of his fans with another film on the theme of women empowerment. The controversies and the relationship of Bhansali, which started with ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ramleela’, which came after the series of his flop, is going on till now. The hearing continued in the country’s biggest court till a day before the release. The film ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ is the story of a teenager who left her lawyer father’s house with the dream of becoming a heroine, growing up to become the queen of Kamathipura, the largest area of prostitution in Bombay (now Mumbai). The name of the film appears in Hindi as ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ in the opening credits. This is also the condition of Hindi in Hindi cinema and also the confusing direction. The story of the film is interesting. The characters are interesting. The coloring is also great. But, its undercurrent fails to engage the audience. The reason being, the soul of the film is missing.
