The teaser opens to Kamathipura's hustle and bustle, with Bhatt donning a white saree, gajra and a big red bindi. Bhatt's look justifies a brothel owner's getup pretty well. The movie tells her journey from being a red-light area "madam" to a politician. She refuses to be deterred by the dangers and voices the dialogue, "Kisi ke baap se nahi darne ka."
