This movie named BEGUM JAAN starring Vidya Balan, Gauhar Khan, Pallavi Sharda and many ladies. Its a story of Prostitutes who earn money and live life only through prostitution. A great story and revealing womens power at the highest. They have their own life and no body gives them a status in the society. Really double standards ! This movie tells the story of 1947 , at the time of independence. Radcliffe had divided India into two parts Hindustan and Pakistan . The border b/w them was to pass from the very Kotha of Begum Jaan. She didnt to leave the place. Quite nice cinematography and screenplay reveals each and every particular in a different way. All characters justifies their role .
