The exhibition is an homage to vamps, anti-heroines, seductresses and dancers of Bombay cinema. The women who have been a foil to the innocent-as-lamb image of the leading lady by their courage, their boldness and their sexual freedom take a centre-stage in this exhibition. Apart from the showcase of old Hindi cinema memorabilia, the exhibition will also showcaseDesperately Seeking Helen, a film by Eisha Marjara about a young Indian immigrant in Canada and her search for her childhood film-idol, the legendary Bombay cinema femme fatale Helen.
