Mumbai, Maharashtra: In an exclusive conversation, author S. Hussain Zaidi, filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, actor Jaideep Ahlawat, Ram Gopal Varma and actress Kirti Kulhari discussed 'Mafia Queen of India' and its nuanced portrayal of women in crime. They noted how these stories challenge stereotypes by revealing cunning, resilience, and psychological depth. Rather than glorifying criminals, the focus remains on human experiences, trauma, survival and circumstances shaping their choices. The panel emphasized empathy and emotional authenticity as key to storytelling. They concluded that today’s OTT audiences are increasingly drawn to layered, humanized narratives of the underworld beyond mere violence.

00:09i always thought that
00:11i always thought that
00:12i always thought that
00:15there is a very dangerous part to the aspect of women's personality
00:24that i always thought that
00:32you have done a lot of stories
00:38so
00:39what
00:41is
00:51I mean, I didn't read the whole book so far, but of course, fundamentally, like Hussain
01:04Ji was saying, the aspect of women, we have this notion that they're like soft and they're
01:12non-dangerous, but they also can, that side of that which he obviously has shown in the
01:19thing, that's very interesting just on the concept level itself.
01:34What layer did you attract? Power trauma or survival?
01:38Actually, we haven't read all of them, but I think the three things you have said,
01:43I've read these three things in this book, so I've read these three things,
01:47so the three things you have said in this book and characters will be found in this book.
01:54Dritya Ji, you will know that you have a strong female role,
01:56Ron, your identity has become an identity, so what do you think is that it is unfair to
02:01see the form of criminals in the form of criminals?
02:08Yes, I mean, absolutely, like I don't think,
02:12whenever a creator or artist brings such things,
02:17he finds human-ness in it. Otherwise, it's not interesting.
02:23That is not the objective of it. Obviously, the human-ness, the circumstances
02:28and the journey that is what makes it very interesting for any creator to pick it up
02:36or for any actor to perform.
02:38So, it's a very obvious thing that there is a lot of attention to those things.
03:05Now there's some testimonial-ness that is very foundational to look away.
03:08So, that I think we are going to suffer from the período of the myth yes well.
03:09I'm like, a idea?
03:09No, finally, these three things are going through.
03:11Let it go and will make them a show.
03:14But see, this just comes from...

04:39So, the songs that were cut from our mouths were made by Ramo.
04:46So, there were many songs.
04:47Ramo is also a romance in his violence.
04:53Wow! This is beautiful.
04:55Yeah.
04:55It was very beautiful.
04:56Yes.
04:56Well, I was just wondering if you were characters,
05:03do you want to build a life of the film as a film or film as well?
05:11No, I don't think actors are important to you.
05:14It's important to you that your script is to show you.
05:16This is your vision.
05:20That's a very important point of view.
05:35So you just need to focus on that and portray it in the best possible way.
