Must read. ( )

Read about Zenabhai Khabari (had read about her relationship with Haji Mastan long back in some Hindi mag Ma used to subscribe), Gangubai - the lady from Kathiawad who headed the Kamathipura business for decades, Ashraf who set out in underworld only to avenge her husband Mehmood's (a gangaster in Dawood's gang) murder by Dawood, Monica Bedi (her part of story, heard several times before), Arun Gawli's wife Asha Gawli, Neeta Naik (who forced her London-educated husband into underworld and was later killed by her own husband), Tarannum Khan, Narco ladies Jyoti, Mahalaxmi et al.

I did not like the dramatization part of any story except perhaps the vignette about narco aawyer Ayaz Khan. Yet content was interesting and writing unobtrusive. ( )
