Begum Jaan celeb review: Vidya Balan's fierce act impresses Bollywood stars

Vidya Balan's highly talked about movie Begum Jaan released in cinemas today and it is a movie you shouldn't miss

Vidya Balan starrer Begum Jaan released to theatres today and has managed to strike a chord with celebrities of tinsel vile. Set in the bygone era of Indian Independence, the movie chronicles the fight of a brothel owner against the powerful. Helmed by Srijit Mukherjee, the movie is based on women who are strong and who are not afraid of the one in power.

Bollywood celebrities who watched the movie are in awe of Vidya Balan and other actresses who became a part of her fight. A ferocious Vidya and her gang refused to let their home, which other see as nothing more than a brothel, get demolished. The ones in power desperately wanted Vidya’s house to be brought down as it fell in the line of the partition of India and East Pakistan.

Begum Jaan, according to celebs, is a movie that has no dearth of shining moments. Vidya Balan’s confrontation with two politicians, her interaction with Naseeruddin Shah and the conversation she has with the women in her brothel, take the movie to new heights. These moments are capable enough to either leave you disturbed or force you to think about the lesser known tales of the oppressed.

Their fight to save their house is one that will always be remembered in Indian cinema. What makes the movie a must watch, is the fact that for quite long no Bollywood movie talked about the ordeal of sex workers. In an interview with InUth.com, Vidya Balan said that a movie of this kind was long overdue. Speaking about her character, she said Begum Jaan is nothing less than a tigress on the prowl and she will stop at nothing to regain what’s hers.
