Director Srijit Mukherjee tried hard to pick up the best pieces from his earlier film and present in a grand manner, but the film looks very forced upon and animated. Though the film wasn't a commercial hit but it was an art film which was critically acclaimed. The girls are nowhere close to what life as a prostitute actually looks like, except for Vidya Balan. ‘Rajkahini’, which was released in 2015, is a 3-hour long film and dealt with individual issues of partition and the journey of prostitutes in the brothel. Will Begum Jaan vacate the brothel or continue staying there and fight for her rights? What happens next forms the rest of the plot of the film. Begum Jaan refuses to do so and the two tough officials appoint a local goon Kabir (Chunky Panday) to vacate the brothel in a months time. Srivastava (Ashish Vidyarthi) and Ilias (Rajit Kapoor) order Begum Jaan to vacate the brothel to draw the Indo-Pak border through it. Soon after, their lives change upside down.
