Later in her life, she entered into politics and was assassinated in 2001.
Leave your thoughts about Bandit Queen.
| Film.comJohn HartlAt the center of the movie are two fine actresses who make Phoolan's unsettled character seem inevitable. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAn astonishing, overpowering piece of rabble-rousing, consciousness-raising, epic-scale filmmaking. |
| Apollo GuideMaryAnn JohansonIt is one well worth the time of fans of serious drama. |
| BBC.comAnna SmithRussell Brand is, for once, well cast in the role of vague, vain singer Aldous, who's also the object of obsession for a waiter and aspiring musician in the Hawaiian resort. |
| San Francisco ExaminerScott RosenbergSeema Biswas, who plays the protagonist, conveys a remarkable range of suffering - bleeding, at its extremes, into a kind of pure, white-hot hate that makes the anger of Thelma and Louise look like playground stuff. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannDevi is played by Seema Biswas as a fireball of unrelenting, white-hot fury -- a slap in the face to her country and its barbaric, outdated treatment of women. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSeema Biswas is convincing in the role: small, fierce, dark-eyed and indomitable. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenAlthough the "Bandit Queen" is a film loaded with violence and hatred, it is also an affirmation of the durability of the human spirit. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerSeema Biswas' lock on our fascination and sympathies is unreleasable, making for a most powerful film from India. |
| Film4Jim HallIn comparison with most of the Indian cinema that breaks through to the Western mainstream, Bandit Queen stands out for its political attitude and willingness to take on Hollywood sensibilities in its storytelling. |
