I recently saw “Bandit Queen”, movie by Shekar Kapur. Indeed it was a brilliantly made movie, and I should say the movie explicitly pointed out some of the ills (unfortunately) still affecting India. The movie was based on the life of Phoolan Devi, the dacoit of the chambal, but phoolan devi herself disowned the movie after the release. Still the movie was an excellent piece of work by Shekhar Kapur.
Recently the Bandit Queen, Phoolan Devi, who had become a member of parliament, was shot dead. The investigations are going on and will go on..
