Description

Meet Leela: nineteen, charismatic and fearlessly outspoken.

With her sharp wit and stubborn optimism, she is the best paid bar dancer on Bombay's notorious Mira Road.

Leela has a 'husband' (who is already married), a few lovers whose names she can't remember, an insufferable mother camping out in her flat and an adored best friend, Priya - the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.

But when the dance bars are banned, Leela's proud independence faces its greatest test.

In a city where everyone is certain that someone, somewhere, is worse off than them, Leela fights to survive - and win.
