Smuggling, gun-running, drugs, terrorism — for many decades, Mumbai has lived under the shadow of the Underworld. Dawood Ibrahim, Karim Lala, Varadara- jan Medullar: these are names that any Indian would recognize. Analyzed in print, immortalized on film, their lives, their gangs, their 'businesses' are out there for anyone who wants the information. But there have been women, too, who have been part of this murky side of the city, walking along side, sometimes leading and manipulating men in the Underworld to run their own illegal businesses. Tells the stories of women who have become legend in Mumbai streets, lanes and back-alleys. Absorbingly told, impeccably researched, Mafia Queens of Mumbai reveals a side of Mumbai Underworld that has never been seen before.

I was wondering why Mr. Zaidi has not come up with another book after Black Friday.Better late then never, Mafia Queens of Mumbai is worth waiting for.The real life stories of Women who have made a stronghold in mafioso are compelling and thrilling to say the least.
If one day I have to make a movie, I'll surely make a movie on Sapna, that's the best of the lot,though each and every story is a masterpiece in itself.
Foreword by one of my favourite directors, Vishal Bhardwaj is an icing on the cake.
Where is Anurag Kashyap?...Would love to see a movie made by him on one of the stories from the book!

It like watching a movie, not a single page seems boring or unwanted. Must read its reality beyond our thoughts, Jenabhai was really good one, Gangubai the lady from no option to creating a name good name for self in the dirty place is amazing. Would look forward have more writing from this writer.
