Co-directed with Vaishali Sinha, her documentary film 'Red Roses' examines the lives of South Asian women in a Pakistani beauty parlor in Queens, New York, and has received considerable publicity at a number of film festivals and consequent press coverage. She has worked on a number of documentary films featuring diverse subjects ranging from gender, civil liberties and immigrant rights to LGBT issues and religion and peace. Madhuri’s desire to integrate media and social issues emerged after a Post Graduate Diploma in Social Communications Media at Sophia Polytechnic in Mumbai, after which she completed a Masters in Media Studies from the New School in New York.
