This is a Hindi Language film starring Kiron Kher and Smriti Mishra playing the title character at different stages of her life.
The film's direction, script and narration style is brilliant. Created in the style of Roshomon and Pulp Fiction before it, this film's story is best suited to this narrative style. Which is why I consider this as perhaps Shyam Benegal's best!
The film's story revolves around the life and times of a courtesan who has recently passed away, and the performances are excellent! Especially that of the underrated Smriti Mishra who's allure as the younger Sardari Begum is so believable!
A must watch, you'll be hooked!
