Bandit Queen by Shekhar Kapur

“She was the most feared outlaw in India. If the story wasn’t true you wouldn’t believe it...”
Bandit Queen is story of underbelly Indian girl outlaw and bandit in Uttar Pradesh.The movie is inspired on the life of real dacoit Phoolan Devi.The language, the stark treatment which were unknown to Indian audience in 90s,produce a turbulence all around India when it was first released.

The film opens with Phoolan’s marriage to a twenty-something fellow called Puttilal,when she was around eleven year old.Puttilal is physically and sexually abusive, and Phoolan eventually runs away and returns home. As Phoolan grows older, she faces incidents of fondling and groping from the Thakur men . At the next town meeting, the panchayat decides to banish Phoolan from the village.

Than the movie follows revenge from Phoolan but in between movie touch every nook and corner of rural India and caste system which forces Phoolan to take power in her hand and become a bandit.As in technical terms film was great in every aspect,cinematography was brilliant and so this the background score.

This movie can be considered one of the best movie based on reality,not following the exact sequence but it gives the heart to a bandit story.
