Natasha (Rani) is the elder daughter of a close knit family. Content in their rural life, they are unable to see the dark shadow of despair which looms, when the family meets with severe financial crisis. In desperation, Natasha forsakes her dignity for the love of her family, and enters the dark and horrific world of flesh trade...
Her performance in the movie was top-notch and is sure to fetch her good reviews and lots of praises.
Laaga Chunari Mein Daag Movie Review: Pradeep Sarkar is no doubt a proficient story teller.

The title track Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag is an exceptional piece from Moitras table.
With every new song, Sunidhi Chauhan proves her adept skills.
The second verse is fast paced and very well crooned by Shreya.

Better defined characters and even better defined motivations would have taken this overall interesting plot a long way.
The music was refreshing because it was different.
The dialogues were excessive in a couple scenes given to Konkana.

To sum up, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag fails because of its writing.
Jaya Bachchan is superb.
Kunal Kapoor is likable.
Cinematography is splendid.
The sequence when Konkona catches Rani red-handed is excellent.
but the graph of the film lacks uniformity
