Rebirth of India: Superior

It was a sunny afternoon. In front of the official residence of a member of Congress in New Delhi, a wealthy middle-aged woman stepped out of the car, followed by several bodyguards. But at this moment, two men in coats suddenly appeared. The man quickly ran to her, took out a pistol from his arms, and shot her in the head repeatedly. Although the murderers were all captured by the bodyguards, the middle-aged woman fell to the ground and died...

Of course, this is not a real scene, but the beginning of a movie. This movie is "Bandit Queen", the first film invested by Shakru. At this time, Pramdevi sitting next to him whispered to him He smiled and said, "Mr. Pandit, you are so cruel. You beat me to death at the very beginning!"

Shakru replied with some embarrassment: "This is required by the plot. Today's audiences are very impatient. If you don't do some gunplay or suspense at the beginning, you won't be able to attract people at all. ∈♦" In fact, there is another point What he didn't say was that this was actually the Pulan he remembered. The ending of David and the fate of a generation of bandit queens. In India, a society with strict caste hierarchy, no matter how much achievements you make or where you sit, as long as your caste is not high, you will never be able to truly integrate into the upper class society. The ending is never happy.

Then the camera shifted its perspective to one of the poorest areas in India - Utapades. In a remote rural village, in one of the most humble untouchable families, on the day of the Flower Goddess Festival, a little girl was born. Although the girl’s mother gave the girl a name after the God of Flowers (Pulan means the God of Flowers), her parents were not happy about her birth. There was no trace of happiness or smile, but instead they were sighing, because in India, giving birth to a daughter is equivalent to incurring a debt. Even a subsistence family must start saving a dowry for the daughter as soon as she is born, otherwise in the future There was no way she could get married, and for a pariah family like the Pulan family, this dowry would be an unattainable goal.

Although Pulan had a hard childhood and had endless housework to do every day, in her memory, her childhood was the happiest time in her life. When she was eleven years old, a cruel fate began to befall her. Her cruel parents sold her to an old man in a neighboring village as his wife, but the price was only a dilapidated bicycle and a cow. (Looking at it this way, it feels like the beginning of "Dry This Bowl of Ganges Water" is based on Purandevi's experience.)

From the day she got married, Xiao Pulan has been subjected to constant abuse and torture every day. The perverted old man has been changing his tricks to torture her every day. At this time, Shakru suddenly noticed that the whole body of Pran David next to him was stretched straight, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, so he comforted softly: "Ms. David, are you okay?"

Purandevi closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and then said: "It's okay, it's just that I haven't recalled this experience for a long time. Although the plot is not exactly the same, the nature is actually the same." Then. Then she patted the actress Seema Biswas who was sitting on the other side of her body and said, "Miss Biswas, it's really hard for you to make this movie."

Seema shook her head and said: "I am filming. After all, it is all fake, and the director and boss take good care of me, so it is not hard. But Ms. David, you are different. You are also a Dalit caste, and I Although I have never experienced such a tragic experience as yours, I can understand and understand your mood. To be honest, I really respect and admire you!"

While several people were chatting, the plot was still going on. Xiao Pulan, who couldn't bear the torture, sneaked back to her parents' house while her husband was drunk. However, even after returning home, she still did not receive care and care. Instead, she suffered the pain of her parents. Scolding, because in rural India, no matter what the reason is, it is her fault for a married woman to run back to her parents' home without permission.

Just when Xiao Pulan was heartbroken, her fate changed drastically again. A group of bandits broke into the village and not only ransacked the village, but also forcibly abducted her. Fortunately, Xiao Pulan was attracted by the bandit leader Vikram. , and the two people actually developed feelings during the subsequent contact. This is also the only relatively warm plot in the entire film.

From Vikram, Puran learned that the country he was in was called India. It had a vast territory, a large population, a long history and culture, and a paradise-like life in big cities. Later, Pulan began to work as a bandit with Vikram. At this time, everyone discovered that Pulan actually had the talent to be a bandit. He was not only decisive and ruthless, but also witty and changeable. Gradually, Pulan was recognized by the bandits and became a gangster. The second leader, the bandits even made a banner for her and Vikram, "Beauty of the Bandits, the King's Beloved! Vikram, the Bandit King!"

At this time, Shakru noticed that Prandevi's expression was extremely enjoyable, as if he was immersed in her most glorious time.

Unfortunately, the glorious and beautiful times are always short-lived. In 1980, a pair of twin brothers named Ram among the gangsters betrayed them to the upper castes. As a result, Vikram was killed and Poulan was captured. In a dark small In the shed, she became the target of the village's hatred and violence. After being tortured for more than a month, Pu Lan finally escaped.

Afterwards, she regrouped and went on a revenge spree. She led the gang back to the village, tied up all the people who had insulted her, lined them up, and then shot them crazily with machine guns. After killing all of them, she set fire to the village until the whole village was burned to ashes. Then she led the gang away, and from then on, she officially became the "Bandit Queen"!

This tragedy shocked the whole of India. Prime Minister Gandhi personally ordered a nationwide arrest and hunt, and offered a reward of 150,000 rupees for her head. However, with the help of the complex terrain of Uttapad and cautious command, the police were helpless against the "Queen" Puran for three years.

It was not until a senior police officer played a role that Puran reached an agreement with the government: she surrendered and served 8 years in prison, and the government would no longer pursue the crimes she had committed.

David's surrender ceremony, in which he was "recruited" by the government, was reported by foreign reporters, and David became famous. According to her request, the surrender ceremony was arranged like a drama. On a specially built high platform, David, with a red scarf on her head and a Mauser rifle on her shoulder, greeted the audience. She knelt down in front of the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian goddess, then took off her Mauser rifle and raised it high above her head. Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
