Chandni Bar is a 2001 Indian Hindi crime film directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. It depicts the gritty life of the Mumbai underworld, including prostitution, dance bars and gun crime. The film stars Tabu and Atul Kulkarni in lead roles. It also stars Ananya Khare, Rajpal Yadav, Minakshi Sahani and Vishal Thakkar. The film was a critically acclaimed hit and it won four National Film Awards.
Eventually, Mumtaz catches the eye of a gangster called Pottya Sawant (Atul Kulkarni). He attempts to seduce her, and finally resorts to paying her for sex. Mumtaz, however, cannot go through with the deed and tells Pottya about her rape. Enraged, Pottya kills her uncle and marries Mumtaz. Mumtaz leaves the bar, and Pottya rises up the criminal ranks quickly, despite his volatile temper. The couple live a happy life, together with their son, Abhay, and daughter, Payal. Mumtaz wishes for Abhay and Payal to be educated, and stay far away from her world of dancing girls and Pottya's world of gangsters.
Pottya's attitude and temper cause him to prematurely kill another gangster, which results in him losing friends and connections in the criminal world. He becomes a target for the police, and is captured and killed in an operation to 'eliminate' various Mumbai gangsters. A grieving Mumtaz slowly runs out of money and soon realises that Pottya has left behind a large amount of debt. With no source of income, she is forced to return to work at Chandni Bar.
Years pass, and Mumtaz still works at Chandni Bar, not as a dancer, but as a waitress. She manages to provide a stable environment for Abhay and Payal, who are now teenagers. Mumtaz encourages her children to do well in school, so that they can move away from their surroundings of crime and gangs. Abhay is very studious and performs well in classes, but soon befriends a group of trouble makers and delinquents. Despite being warned by Mumtaz, he continues to see his friends. One day, Abhay and his group are arrested by police for extortion, and held in a juvenile prison. Even though he was not part of the crime, his reputation as Pottya's son causes the police to ignore his pleas of innocence. Later on at the prison, Abhay is raped by a pair of older inmates.
Mumtaz attempts to talk to the police, to no avail. She then meets with some influential people, who have police connections and can get Abhay released. They agree to help her, but demand a high price, which she must bring to them in less than two days. Mumtaz has no choice and decides to sell her body in order to obtain the money, but is still short. Seeing her mother's plight, Payal takes up dancing at Chandni Bar and brings the rest of the money to her troubled mother.
Having secured the money, Mumtaz is able to get Abhay released. However, she notices that he is not the same happy boy he was a few days earlier. Instead, he is cold, ruthless, and is looking for revenge. Abhay makes connections in the crime world and manages to get a gun, which he uses to kill the boys who raped him. Mumtaz arrives on the scene and is devastated to find that her son has become a killer. It is implied that Payal is following in her mother's footsteps, and Abhay is set to be another Pottya.

Synopsis
Mumtaz (Tabu) is a naive young rural woman whose family is killed in communal riots. After her village is burnt to the ground, she moves to Mumbai with her uncle, the only family member she has left. They are desperately poor and her uncle persuades her to become a bar girl (dancer) at Chandni Bar. He promises her that this is merely temporary, until he is able to get a job. Mumtaz is shy and loathes the work, but she forces herself to dance and flirt. However, her uncle doesn't keep his word; he lives on her earnings, drinking them away, and never gets a job. One night, after spending time drinking and watching the girls dance at the bar, Mumtaz's uncle rapes her. Mumtaz is distraught and emotionally confides in the other dancers. Even though they console her, Mumtaz is given a reality check when she realises that many other women at the bar have equally disturbing and painful stories. She manages to pull herself together and immerses herself in her work at the bar.Eventually, Mumtaz catches the eye of a gangster called Pottya Sawant (Atul Kulkarni). He attempts to seduce her, and finally resorts to paying her for sex. Mumtaz, however, cannot go through with the deed and tells Pottya about her rape. Enraged, Pottya kills her uncle and marries Mumtaz. Mumtaz leaves the bar, and Pottya rises up the criminal ranks quickly, despite his volatile temper.

Mumtaz is a village girl whose family is killed in communal riots. She
moves to Mumbai with her uncle, the only family member she has left.
They are desperately poor and her uncle persuades her to become a bar

gets a job. Mumtaz is a shy girl who loathes the work, but she forces
herself to dance and flirt. However, the uncle doesn't keep his promise;

rapes her. By this time she has caught the eye of a gangster called
Potiya Sawant. When she tells Potiya what her uncle did to her, Potiya
decides to "defend her honor." Potiya shoots the uncle. Mumtaz, bereft
of any male protection in the dangerous slums, marries Potiya. She is
determined to make the best of things. She leaves the bar and stays home
to raise her two children, whom she carefully protects from the world

Quite effective. Makes you think of the miseries around...
Although I rented this
movie on Video, I am still very moved by it. It was quite an experience.
Hats off to the director and all the actors especially Tabu & Atul
Kulkarni are very effective. The director has done a lot of non-routine
stuff like the narration, the lights, the bar songs and background music
etc. Hopefully the people get the right message the director wants to
convey.
