Keyword Courtesan

In 1940s British India, archnemeses Mallikajaan and Fareedan are locked in a battle of succession of Heeramandi, an elite house of courtesans, while seeds of rebellion take root in the world around them.

Based on the novel of the same name by Aliya Bukhari, Deewar-e-Shab tells the story of three generations of courtesans' day-to-day struggles in the previously lively Sitara Mahal.
