`Gangubai Kathiawadi` tells the tale of a young girl named Ganga who becomes Gangubai, a madame in the red light area of Kamathipura.
It is loosely based on the true story of Gangubai Harjivandas, popularly known as Gangubai Kothewali, whose life was documented in the book `Mafia Queens of Mumbai`, written by S. Hussain Zaidi.
