Typical Melodrama......Please don't ask for women empowerment

Gulaab Gang is a typical movie with nothing unpredictable and unexpected. The acting performances were usual, of course not poor but nothing extraordinary but one thing appeals us, something that is gaining recognition in the NGO society as a symbol of social work and society prestige,,,,,, the women empowerment. Whats so good in this movie? technically nothing but yet I gave it 8/10 just because it shows a new method, desire and requirement. Yes the songs, dance, the gang all are enjoyable and must be watched for entertainment but not as a technically powerful film.

New experience to watch two great artists on the same screen, not a big deal though but yet it can serve to aware a tiny tiny fraction of usual folks by a tiny amount to look towards corruption, social injustice and have a hope for something better that is about to come ahead after getting acknowledged about women who are shining in adverse situation.
