David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
在各种MTV中穿插着故事的这部电影，的确让人大开眼界了。一个原本出生高种姓家庭的女孩因年少无知被卖到妓院，但她意识到已经无法在回归自己的日常后，不是以泪洗面，而是在现有条件下奋起，仅凭这点就很厉害了。其实对影片中讲到的合法化，肯定不能作为一个可以被认同的价值观，但这个台阶之所以下不来，也是因为电影立意过高了，我倒认为甘谷白这一提议完全是为自己生意考虑。她能在那种环境下成为top，仅凭高尚怎么可能做到。
看完我就想问，为啥有这么糟糕的社会环境？女主的美好品性为什么要被这些乱七八糟的事情浪费！她本该生活得更好！
之前很多人讨论，代孕该合法吗，毒品该合法吗，今天看完后的我才有了清晰的概念。
这个视角也是非常的直男了……太窒息了 人物单薄 除了漂亮衣服和首饰以外毫无看点
其实剧本一般，但印度有这个意识还是不容易，加一星
最后的演讲是高光
花朵会一直芬芳，无论是在公园、街边还是妓院。
如果能选择，没有人会想跌入深渊被世人随意轻视肆意践踏，但已经被困入笼中鸟儿、陷进泥淖的花朵也有追求自由，为自我发声的权利
被卖了一千卢比的女人。我，甘古拜，一个妓女……
女性中需要每个人都站起来为我们自己奋斗和争取平权，不能把这个世界继续让给另一性别继续“统治”。
非常的理想化，非常的不现实，属于一种意识层面上的突破，虽然拍摄手法，演员表演都还可以，但我很不赞同电影对卖淫合法化的表达。
她想当电影明星，却把自己活成了一部电影。一直在等重遇渣男，没有等到
虽然是传记类的，但不得不说印度电影一言不合就跳舞的固定情节依然是逃脱不掉。
片子结尾那句“电影明星的海报每周五都会换一轮，但甘古拜不一样，她的照片在卡马提普拉的墙上放了五十年。”诉说了孟买黑手党女王甘古拜传奇而富有争议的一生，片中的那段演讲也非常精彩，甘古拜在泥沼中的不屈和强势令人愤慨和敬佩，她用尽一切手段争取了底层失足女性应有的权利。印度电影传统艺能来了四五段歌舞，有的升华了故事，有的又有些破坏了气氛，而且片中有几段看爽片的感觉，有时有种一切太顺利的错觉，话说回来，是一部优秀作品。
最后就是万人欢呼觉得她特伟大
有一种人身在沟渠依然仰望星空，有一种人身在沟渠也要奋力爬到岸上，甚至努力把沟渠填平，我佩服这种人。
《甘古拜·卡蒂娅瓦迪》值得推荐。真正的大女主电影，敢言霸气，一路开挂。
影片由桑杰执导，影片前半段故事情节比较猎奇，值得一看，孟买60年代产业的光怪陆离再加上女主角遇神杀神的性格，使故事曲折离奇，颇具传奇色彩，节奏还算比较明快，具有一定的娱乐性，但是到了影片后半段，《甘古拜·卡蒂娅瓦迪》作为一部真实改编的题材，大量删改内容，导致剧情欠佳，毫无说服力，影片最后振奋人心的演讲对白略显生硬，没有达到预期的效果，与《革命双雄》相差甚远。值得幸运的是，女主角霸气外露的性格令这部影片生动了不少，情感拿捏到位，使这部苍白的影片还不至于达到疲乏的效果。
什么老鸨大女主爽文，端个架子嘴炮几句就拉来各路资源。 原型人物估计和所有政客一样干了不少不宜明说的肮脏勾当才得到台面上的气场和能量，明明那种复杂性才好看啊。
国情决定现实，改变不了大环境，但你可以选择在困局中斗争的权利。本片的立意放在现代社会或许有一定的局限性，但在彼地彼刻，已经是挣脱牢笼的存在。
