Mangla is an upcoming Indian Marathi-language biographical drama film based on the life of acid attack survivor Dr. Mangala Kapoor.^[1] Directed and co-produced by Aparana Hosing, the film is also produced by Yashna Murli, Mohan Poojary, and Milind Phodkar under the banners of Rash Production Pvt. Ltd. and Fakt Ani Fakt Entertainment.^[2]^[3] The film features Shivali Parab in the lead role, portraying a character inspired by Kapoor, alongside Shashank Shende and Alka Kubal.^[4] The film delves into the remarkable journey of an acid attack survivor who overcame adversity, highlighting her struggles during a time when there were no laws addressing acid attacks.^[5]

Plot

It tells the inspiring story of a woman who, after surviving a brutal acid attack, refuses to be defined by society's rejection and follows her passion for music. Despite facing challenges in education and employment due to her disfigured face, Mangla's unwavering commitment to classical music propels her to earn a PhD and become a respected music teacher. Her powerful voice, often compared to that of Lata Mangeshkar, helps her rise above the prejudice she encounters. Mangla's journey is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, proving that true beauty lies in resilience and talent.
