Review of Bandit Queen (1994) by Dave A — 10 Jul 2008
It's hard to imagine a film further away from the tackiness of Bollywood than this hard hitting, hugely controversial Indian drama (based on a true story) about Poolan Devi, born of a low caste and married off, aged 11, to an abusive man 20 years her senior.
Eventually, she escapes, and fights her way up to become a legendary Robin Hood like leader of a gang of outlaws...
