Sanjay Leela Bhansali, one of the most successful directors of this age has directed this film. Because Gangubai Kathiawadi is Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt's debut collaboration, everyone is expecting a lot from it. Following the release of the film's trailer, it is clear that it will be one of the best films of 2022.

Story of Gangubai Kathiawadi

Gangubai Bai’s full name is Gangubai Harjivandas Kathiawadi. In the 1960s, she was a dangerous mafia lady in Mumbai.

‘Madam of Kamathipura’ was her nickname. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has developed a film on her life with Alia Bhatt, based on the novel 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' by Hussain Zaidi.

Gangubai Harjivandas Kathiawadi aka Gangubai was born in Kathiawad, Gujarat, in the year 1939. Her family was honorable, and her parents adored her.

Because she was her family's only daughter. Her father wanted her to be educated, but she was dissatisfied with her academics. She always talked about movies and wanted to be an actress.

Ramnik sold Gangubai for Rs 500

Gangubai Kathiawadi fell in love with an accountant when she was 16 years old. Ramnik Lal was his name. She ran away with Ramnik and got married.

Gangubai and her husband Ramnik Lal went to Mumbai because their relationship with their family members was no longer acceptable. Gangubai was utterly naïve to the possibility that she would face unpleasant challenges in her coming future.

Gangubai Kathiawadi's happiness did not last long. Ramnik introduced Gangubai to a kothewali, referring to her as his aunt. Ramnik sold Gangubai for Rs 500 and fled under the guise of looking for a new home.

Gangubai had no idea that this aunt was the lady who ran a kotha in Mumbai's Kamathipura red light district. After a few weeks had passed after Ramnik's departure, Gangubai realized she couldn't leave this place and she accepted the life of a prostitute. A man named Shaukat Khan held Gangubai hostage for the entire night, and after spending the entire night with her, forcing her and raping her, he did not even offer money to Gangubai.

Gangubai's condition deteriorated as a result of the stressful occurrence, and she had to go to the hospital. Gangubai discovered about Shaukat Ali when she recovered totally, that he was the guy of famed don Karim Lala there.

"Mafia don of Mumbai" Karim Khan

Gangubai went to Karim Lala and told him about how Shaukat raped her and rest of her story.

Following this occurrence, Karim Lala made Gangu his sister and severely punished Shaukat Khan.

After all this incident, Karin Khan and Gangubai became rakhi siblings and after that, Gangubai began to gain popularity. With Karim, Gangubai quickly rose to prominence.

‘Don of Kamathipura’

Gangubai Kathiawadi showed up in Mumbai's underworld with her brother and became the brothel's mistress after some time. She also opened a number of brothels in the red light district and did a number of other nice deeds because of which she became ‘Madam of Kamathipura’ or ‘Don of Kamathipura’.

Gangubai Kathiawadi, a wealthy woman in the 1960s who drove a black Bentley, used to assist prostitutes in whatever way she could and adored their children. Gangu did not compel anyone to stay in the kotha against their will.

Her death is a mystery

When it comes to Gangubai Kathiawadi's death, there is no accurate information accessible. Aside from that, nothing is known regarding the year of her death. However, she is thought to have died somewhere between 1975 and 1978.

Best performance of Alia till date

Alia Bhatt is nowhere to be found in Gangubai Kathiawadi, and based on the trailer, it appears that she disintegrated and drank Gangubai's persona. People had assumed that Alia Bhatt would not be able to play this character well as Vidya or Kangana, based on the teaser, but the trailer has dispelled this belief. Alia Bhatt not only wowed the audience with her performance in the film's trailer, but she also stated that this will be her best performance to date.

If we're talking about Sanjay Leela Bhansali's direction, he's taken a break from hefty period dramas by making Gangubai Kathiawadi. He may have been under a lot of pressure during films like Padmavat and Bajirao Mastani because they were incredibly expensive, but this pressure would not be present during Gangubai Kathiawadi. The film was shot in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's signature manner, with large sets and superb lighting.

About Ajay Devgn and Vijay Raj

When it comes to Ajay Devgn, his entry explains why he is the most recognizable artist of the 1990s. Ajay Devgn has portrayed a don in films such as ‘Company’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’, but his performance as a don in Gangubai Kathiawadi stands out.

The discussion of the film's trailer is incomplete without mentioning Vijay Raaz. Gangubai Kathiawadi will also feature Vijay Raaz's work. Vijay is a seasoned performer, and Gangubai Kathiawadi will showcase his incredible talent.

Let us tell you that this film will be released on 25^th of February 2022.
