Considered a jewel among Indian documentaries, the film focuses on a group of female strippers who work in a nightclub in the suburbs of Bombay. A sensitive, unsentimental examination of a society's values and contradictions regarding women, the film explores the "respectable" and "corrupt" labels which stereoptype women in traditional Indian society. Nair focuses on their outlook on life, relating their hopes and fears while respecting their pride, independence, strength and resilience.
