James Bond (2015) is also known as Lady Gangster, and that's a much better title; the movie does feature a lady gangster, but has a notable lack of suave British superspies, or really any spies, super or not.
The lady gangster in question is Pooja (Sakshi Chaudhary), professionally known as "Bullet", and she is the reigning Don of Dubai. Bullet has a gang of loyal henchman,but she controls her empire of unspecified crime through her John Wooesque action skills, shooting and punching her rivals as well as throwing the occasional CGI shuriken.
Bullet has a sympathetic backstory told via a brief animated flashback: her father was a gangster, and after her parents split over the whole mafia thing, he brought young Pooja to Dubai with him,raising her to be the instrument of his vengeance on the gangsters who crossed him. Now she has reunited with her terminally ill mother (Prabha) and she's playing the part of the dutiful and not at all criminal daughter, determined to fulfill every one of her mother's wishes. And because this is an Indian movie,that means getting married, so Bullet has a marriage broker look for an eligible man to play the part of her husband for as long as her mother lasts.
Meanwhile, Nani (Allari Naresh), or "Johnny" according to the subtitles, is an eligible young bachelor looking for love. The problem is that Nani is a coward, and when women find that out they don't really find him attractive. One day at the temple Nani catches a glimpse of Pooja and immediately falls in love. When a friend spots her picture in the marriage broker's office, Nani rushes down to express his interest, agreeing to all of her conditions without actually reading them.
Pooja accepts what she thinks is a fake marriage, and Nani accepts what he thinks is a real marriage. They don't really talk about it beforehand, so Nani is very disappointed on the wedding night when she pushes him away, but he is a decent person so he's willing to give her space until she feels she's ready.
Standard romantic comedy rules apply here, so these two mismatched souls are bound to fall in love eventually, and sure enough Pooja starts warming to her new husband, especially since her mother is now so happy that she's on the road to recovery, and hints that what she really wants is a grandchild. However, one of Bullet's rivals from Dubai (Ashish Vidyarthi) has tracked her to Hyderabad, which means that between romantic comedy scenes she kills an awful lot of people. And Nani accidentally spots his wife during one of these scenes and realizes that his wife is in fact a lady gangster, so while Pooja is falling for him, he's plotting to escape. Which is complicated when Nani's family shows up for an extended visit.
This is a very silly movie, but it's silly in predictable ways. Of course Nani is going to learn that some things are worth fighting for and overcome his fears, and of course Pooja will learn that her awkward but kind husband is exactly what she needed all along. It's decently entertaining along the way, though; the action scenes were clearly filmed on a budget,but many of them are creative and fun,particularly the sequence where rival gangsters attack while the couple are shopping for clothes, and Pooja quietly deals with them while trying to hide the carnage from Nani.
When I first started watching Bollywood,Indian movies were not widely available on streaming services,meaning that I had to find DVDs, and sometimes that meant buying DVDs in bulk for less than a dollar each. That was always risky; sometimes the movies weren't subtitled, sometimes they were sleazy revenge melodramas or incomprehensible slapstick comedies. Sometimes they were great, and sometimes they were silly but reasonably entertaining low budget movies that I never would have discovered if I hadn't taken a risk. Lady Gangster is a dollar DVD movie.
