Haseena Parkar

Haseena Parkar (Shraddha Kapoor) lives with her close to dozen siblings in a small house in central Mumbai.

She is shown to be particularly close to one of her brothers, Dawood Ibrahim (Siddhanth Kapoor), who as he grows up turns to crime.

Haseena marries the kindhearted Ibrahim Parkar (Ankur Bhatia) but finds herself compelled to bear the brunt of her brother's actions.

She maintains her innocence and relates the story of how she was merely a nervous new bride who was forced to turn into the Godmother of Nagpada.

As Keswani and Public Prosecutor Roshni Satam (Priyanka Setia) continue to argue the case, the judge emerges as sympathetic towards the life and story of Haseena Parkar.

Sonakshi Sinha was first cast to play the aged Haseena Parkar and a debutante was signed in to play the young Haseena, but Sonakshi signed out of the project due to her fixed dates for her movie, Ittefaq, along with Siddharth Malhotra.

The movie was initially planned to be released on 14 July 2017, clashing with Anurag Basu's Jagga Jasoos.

[2] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars, stating, "The crime drama fails to offer an insight into Haseena's life".

[14] Syed Firdaus Ashraf from Rediff.com gave the movie 2.0/5 stars, stating, "Shraddha Kapoor tries hard to rescue the film.

"[15] The music of the film was composed by Sachin–Jigar and the lyrics were written by Priya Saraiya, Vayu and Kirthi Shetty.

The first song of the film, "Tere Bina", sung by Arijit Singh and Priya Saraiya, was released on 29 August 2017.
