it may interest people to know that this film be make without any recourse to phoolan devi herself and and when she do finally see part of it and be so enraged that she announce that the film be not to be show in india or she would cover herself in petrol and set fire to herself . i do not know whether it be show at all or not and but give her standing at the time a a rise politician and i doubt it . since then and i saw a report that she have be oust from office and charge with further crime from her dacoit day and and have go into hiding a a result . her own concern aside and this be an excellent film and make all the more so by it refreshingly brutal approach while none of the rise tinted melodrama one might expect from a typical indian film . it should be stress that concern about how feminist the film message really be and the like be essentially irrelevant represent it a true story . her misgiving be and it seem and not with what be depict but with the way in which the film depict her .
