The Bandit Queen is a physically beautiful film, & Seema Biswas as Phoolan has a tough beauty perfect for such a wild figure. Nor is the movie afflicted in any manner with Bollywood campiness. At no time do bandits break into pasty-faced dance & song. What music exists on the soundtrack is by the late great Ali Khan, a simply tremendous score.
Though Seema Biswas was perfect casting, she is dragged through a script full of falsity. The film's fatally flawed by its director's delight in showing Phoolan Devi repeatedly abused. Such awful things were part of her history, but the director gives a totally incorrect impression by delving gleefully into the rape & torture, while skipping or underplaying the historical Phoolan Devi's very real strengths as a rebel, bandit, & a figure who understandably came to be worshipped by India's underclasses.

Very much on topic! Hindi language with hardcoded English subs.
