First of all I warn elders dont take your children to watch this movie. This an adult movie about the story of prostitutes. The brothel in which they leave. The story is about those days when India and Pakistan borders were decided by Britisher. The border line was decided through the brothel of begum jaan. They protest against this and fight for it.
Vidya Balan plays a role of Begum Jaan and gaur khan with other prostitutes. Very bitter truth of our Indian history about women exploitation.
Acting as such was not good or can say was exaggerated. Secondly, very dipressing and negative movie. I would not recommend this.
