Is Gurgaon movie based on a true story?

The film Gurgaon is based on author Debeshi Gooptu’s book titled Gurgaon Diaries. The book of the author is a by-product of her 5-year blog on life in the Millennium City. This piece of fiction follows the journey of the writer in the city over the past 19 years, taking inspiration from incidences of real-life crime.

According to the Hindustan Times, the author said that 20 years ago, Gurgaon was a completely different city. Debeshi said that despite the fact that Gurgaon is a thriving economic hub, the increased speed of growth has generated a great deal of restlessness and unhappiness. She added that along with the race to do well, living in larger households, and driving larger cars, the rat race has led to mental distress and depression.

The director, Shanker Raman also told the portal that the crime is real. He added that it is something that is happening all around. The director also revealed that with the film, Gurgaon, he was interested in exploring crimes against women, and how deep does it go, and also from where does it come from. Raman added that if one wants to explore deeper into crimes against women, they will encounter a very harsh system of patriarchy. He went on to explain that if a woman wants to be independent, and create something on her own, then it would be seen as an odd thing.
