As the movie just reveals its name but there trere is no such relation of movie title and the character who played as begum ( Vidya Balan ) .Begum Jaan , the head of all the harlots and generally the begum, such a great word dont play role like this in real life.Altough the almost characters are new comers besides Bidya Balan , Nasaruddin Saah, Ila Arun, Gauhar Khan.And the new comers are Ridhhima Tiwari, Pallavi Sharda, Priyanka Setia, Ravija Chauhan, Poonam Rajput, Flora Saini, etc.Its such a bold and bravery history of indian history.
The main theme of this movie is the building inside which the Indian & Pakistan border would have made officially but all the members stictly refused to do so and also threat also.This leads to war betwwen begum jaan team and govt.
Except this there is a cute love story of a harlot.music is also heart touching and directed by Anu Mallick.The directer of this movie Srijit Mukherjee did a appreciable job.The plot is based on 1947.
