A Voz do Empoderamento

In 1950s refrigerator was a rare and expensive home appliance in India and only extremely rich people could afford it. In the song "Jab Saiyaan" Gangubai offers a drink with ice to Afsaan and later in the film offers a drink with ice to a politician. This gesture, though very common in 2020s, was to indicate posh life of Gangubai back then.

Gangubai first visits cinema hall in Kamathipura to watch the movie Nirala (1950) with her friends. Later in the film she calls her mother after 12 years and in the same evening celebrates Navaratri. This means the year should be 1962-63. But during Navratri posters of films released in late 1960s (for example Love in Tokyo (1966), Patthar Ke Sanam (1967), and Haseena Maan Jayegi (1968)) can be seen on the walls of Kamathipura.
