Wounded: The Bandit Queen is a 2007 Hindi language film that was directed by Krishna Mishra. [2] [3] The film was first released on 9 March 2007. The film is based on the true story of Seema Parihar, [4] who plays herself in the film. [5]
Parihar was abducted at the age of 13 from her village and the film depicts her transformation into a bandit.
Planning for Wounded began around 2002, when Tarun Kumar Bagchi, A.K. Joshi and Krishna Mishra were inspired to create a film based upon Seema Parihar's life. The three men lobbied for Parihar's release on bail, as they wanted her to play as herself in the movie. [6] They were successful and filming began in 2004, upon which point it received some media notice due to it being one of the first films where a former dacoit plays herself. [7] [8] During filming Mishra and Parihar received threats of bodily harm from dacoit Nirbhaya Gujjar, who led the gang that Parihar formerly led, [9] as he believed that she was "defaming the lives of dacoits". [10] Several attacks were made upon the production. [11] Upon completion of filming, the censor board of India initially refused to clear Wounded as they had objections over slang words used in the movie. [12] The Bombay High Court later cleared the film without removing any of the language that the censor board wanted to remove. [13]
Turnout for Wounded was poor and reception was described as "lackluster" by the Hindustan Times. [14]
