Badki is aware that the family is in dire straits, but she and her mother protect Chutki at all costs. When things get worse, Badki decides to go to Mumbai and seek a living for the family. Alone and unsupported in the midst of the urban jungle of Mumbai, Badki battles with dark forces to maintain her focus on supporting her family and continuing Chutki's education. She deliberately morphs into someone else and leads a secret life full of murky compromises. When Chutki comes to Mumbai to work, things take a dramatic turn. Badki's life turns into a minefield when she has to hide her secrets from Chutki. Chutki finds success at work, and love that delights her heart. Badki finds the magic of love, but lets it slip away before it can blossom because she believes it's not in her destiny. She battles menace and blackmail alone, not letting these dark shadows fall on Chutki or her family. But her dual life is revealed, and the two sisters are face-to-face, in a confrontation neither had expected. And when love beckons Badki again, the whole family is thrown into a tumultuous storm. Everything threatens to explode in their faces and destroy all of them. Will Badki get the happy ending she deserves? Or will the shadows of her past douse the lamps of hope? Will her secrets ruin Chutki's happiness? Can their parents face up to all this? (Yash Raj Films)

Rachel Saltz

A fascinating blend of musical, melodrama and feminist fairy tale, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag shows Bollywood’s moral universe in transition. Read full review

Derek Elley

Rani Mukerji provides the star power, but up-and-coming actress Konkona Sen Sharma is the revelation in Laaga chunari mein daag, a glossy throwback to '90s Bollywood that proves a treat, if you check most of your brains at the door. Read full review

David Chute

The movie works so hard to transform its shocking subject into acceptable material for middlebrow melodrama that it never deals with it. Read full review

Excellent movie. Only people with a seventeenth century attitude would dislike the movie since a call girl is not killed at the end of the movie like the good ol' days.
