Mafia Queens of Mumbai (book ) vs. Gangubai Kathiawadi (film) review

Hello, dear readers! Today I shall review an Indian book ( Mafia Queens of Mumbai, written by Syed Hussain Zaidi and Jane Borges ) and a film ( Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhasali .) . Is there a connection between the two? There certainly is. Both talk about life of a real person- Gangubai Kathiawadi, a social activist with mafia ties born in 1907. However, in the book Gangubai is but a chapter, while in the movie she is the sole protagonist. Still, Mafia Queens of Mumbai definitely inspired the movie Gangubai Kathiawadi. I read the book before I watched the film, but the film is the reason why I read the book. How come? Well, I came...
