i am a huge hill harper fan but was still very hesitant to purchase such a low budget film with this title and the price that amazon had listed . i brought myself to buy it ( because of harper ) and was pleasantly surprised at how the film handled this topic . the film was easy to watch and very funny . i rarely find a film that i feel to watch again and again but i saw this already 3 times and enjoyed it each time because of how it really captures the fear some people had . this movie is interesting but still very funny and entertaining . i saved money by not going out to the movie theater the weeks i watched it so it was worth it .

cornflakes , with the reverse bechdel test , are you claiming that it’s hard to find movies with at least one instance of two male characters talking to eachother about something other than a woman ? like , seriously ? this is almost too silly to dignify with a response , but i’d prefer not to let it be the last word in this thread . so let’s look at only the movies that have won best picture in the last few years :
¤ she is arrogant . ¤ she is an exuberant villain . ¤ she is both mean and cruel . ¤ she is vengeful . ¤ she is emotionally repressed . ¤ she is a little nerdy . ¤ she is definitely crazy . ¤ and , well , to say that she is an insufferable know - it - all is to underrate it . ; )

i ' m guessing that the reviewer who thinks the film is
making fun of human fears
hasn ' t seen the movie . he might want to watch it , or see it again . it would probably help him cope with the very real fears he mentions . after all , it depicts hill harper ' s character coping with those fears , trying to protect his family and friends in a world where any protection is uncertain . if , like his character , you ' ve ever wondered whether to build a bomb shelter , flee the country , or avoid bringing children into this world , watch this movie . ps - - at the moment amazon has this film linked with the stoned age in one of its
bargain packages
which , as usual , won ' t save you a cent over buying dvds separately . i haven ' t seen the other movie , but it ' s description suggests a film that is very different in tone from this is not a test .
this all worked great , except for the fact that the producers hated donner ' s guts , though probably not as much as he hated theirs . he was booted off the project with 75 percent of the film shot .

your character is having trouble in his marriage and life when he believes a nuclear attack will hit . what can people learn from him ? harper : we can learn to be prepared for the future , but to not let it consume us . the movie is about fear . my character ' s outside fear of terrorism is covering his underlying fear of connection and family . by the end he learns it doesn ' t matter what happens , and what matters is that you are connected . there will always be crazy things that happen in our lives , but love is the central connector . if we commit to love and partnership , the other stuff doesn ' t matter .

the particular purpose of the study was not revealed to the participants ; they were only informed that the study investigated second language acquisition . the counterbalanced design of the tests worked as a control for possible differences between test materials and groups . half of the subjects were tested with one half of the materials as pre and the other half of the materials as post - test , whilst the rest of participants had the pre - post - test materials reversed . pilot tests ( results not included here ) were performed before running the actual experiment ( one on a native english speaker and two to spanish students ) in order to adjust parameters and overall duration , and also assess the reliability and sensitivity of the tasks .

the vocabulary test consisted of 15 definition - matching items in order to capture possible passive acquisition of new words . the target words of the vocabulary test were low frequency english words ( approximately 50 times per million words ) that appeared in relatively high frequency during the episode ( 3 to 11 instances ) . hence we thought it likely that most subjects did not know these words before and could acquire them during the episode . the word frequency , type , cognation and register or “area of use” was balanced between the two sets of test words ( for a more detailed description of the tasks see s2 file ) .

yay . you’ve mention vitually all of my favourite female characters in one article – ripley , sarah connor , lisa simpson , cj from ww , elliot . i notice the posters above , have also mention leela from futurama . excellent . amelie poulain is a good example of a female lead who is far from 2 dimensional . great film . although clearly audrey tatou ( sp ? ) is a very attractive woman , this is not what makes amelie as a character – it is her idiosyncracies that make the audience so enthralled by her . willow from buffy deserves a mention here too , especially in the early series when she had yet to make the transition from geeky nerd to hot lesbian witch .
1 ) when you get a film with a notable beefcake factor , people make a huge deal of it . 300 is the clearest example , but i saw like three soft - news pieces about how the shot in casino royale where danny craig walks dripping out of the ocean was “payback” for the decades of gratuitous bond girls . certainly there is beefcake , but it’s rare enough to be newsworthy . a similar shot of a woman ( of which there were several in that film , come to think of it ) would not occasion comment .

this was a very good movie that had some very true points . people should take notice of having a emergency back up plain , so much is taken for granted . and the fact how much he love his wife was really awsome . she really pissed me off not trusting in him until it was to late .
so what flaws can female characters have ? how about the same flaws a male character would have ? this is especially important in comedies , because many male writers are so clueless about writing funny women that female characters in sitcoms , sitcomish - movies , and comics tend to be the smart , gorgeous snarky voice of reason in an unreasonable world . in other words , not flawed and not funny .

great film , hilariously acted , tom arnold at his best . it does a lot of emotion and humor in simple situations that are truly funny and tugs at the romantic in me . it ' s a date movie and a comedy in one and a lot of subtle and great film - making in it . the main character ( and this film ) have a lot of heart . there ' s a great flow about it and the city itself is a great character , too . as someone who loves 24 , and lives in la , i thought this really captures the sense of place and the ridiculousness of being afraid of the news . it has a surprise ending that really got me thinking . the main point shows us something funny in terrorism and the world of paranoia . i laughed out loud . rent it .

what i disagree with is the idea that this is done out of a malice , incompetence or narrowness of mind specifically geared toward women on behalf of filmmakers . i think it’s largely a choice made out of laziness , a lack of organizational will on behalf of studios to depart from the status quo , and an effort to please a prejudiced audience ( katie couric’s ratings show that it’s not just men who are prejudiced against female news anchors , for example ) .
i’m going to venture and suggest that perhaps the reason feminist critics “always have a hard time finding movies and tv shows that follow the bechdel rule” is because of their ideological slant . marxist critics probably also have trouble finding accurate and empowering portrayals of the proletariat in mass media . which does not mean it’s not there .
3 . again , this is my point of view , but most of the hollywood hunks have some talent ( brad pitt , leonardo dicaprio , christian bale , and – i hate to say it – tom cruise hop to mind ) . i have a really hard time thinking of a hollywood starlet who is also a good actress . i guess keira knightly is ok ?

and on historic dramas . the tudors , aside from being inordinately dull tv , is perhaps the most sexist thing i have seen in long time . there is not a single female character that is not a pawn being pushed around or fucked by men . the women have no power , no voice , and no purpose of their own – but what makes it worse is that its allegedly portraying a period of history and a class within which women had a remarkable amount of power . less educated and intelligent stateswomen , and more pretty slutty play things . then again , the male characters are mostly stupid and boring cardboard cut - outs as well .

for some reason , stokes’ # 4 point about the male pov as megan fox fixes a car reminded me of “better off dead . ” in that movie , monique , the french exchange student , is still seen from the male pov as she fixes a car , but lane’s first view of her ( iirc ; i haven’t seen it in a while ) is of her feet , in sturdy boots . when she slides out from under the car , she’s dressed to work on a car ( all in black , i think ) and her face is smudged with motor oil . she’s adorably cute , but not really all that hawt ; lane isn’t seeing her as a sexual object ( well , maybe a little–he is a 17 - year - old boy , after all ) , but as this amazing person who is doing something he hasn’t been able to do : get his camaro to run . granted , this is an 80s teen movie and not a present - day action flick , but that’s the scene i thought of when i started thinking about the male pov in car - fixing scenes . i don’t really have a point to make with that . : - )
saying that “he’s a swimmer , of course he’s naked” is like saying “of course she’s covered in grease , she’s a mechanic . ”
in the film ' s original climax , the main characters , realizing that they will never truly be safe , choose to commit suicide rather than join the legions of the walking dead . the film was to conclude with a haunting final shot of our heroine fran shoving her head into her helicopter ' s propeller . this was of course an allegory for america ' s failing educational system .
if this argument just boiled down to “mlawski is a woman and therefore is just focusing on women and ignoring the plight of men in film , ” then i would expect that it would be just as difficult to find films that followed the opposite of the bechdel test . in that world , just as it would be nearly impossible to find women developed enough as characters to talk to and about something other than men and romance , it would be just as impossible to find films in which men only talked to or about women and romance . but that’s simply not true . male characters tend to be the leads , stories tend to be from their point of view , and their characters tend to be more varied . can we agree on that , at least ?

what struck her from the first moment was the fact that so many witnesses were never asked and so many facts were ignored . the film is trying to dig in much deeper .
5 ) you don’t see the shots because you are not looking for them , and because they are usually contextualized in some other way because it is socially unacceptable to identify what is really going on . one classic one is the “wounded hero shows us his scars” shot . also consider any jean - claude van damme movie . consider the naked terminator . there is example after example .

what fenzel said is true , i think what you’re going for is just good characters , ones with depth and realistic qualities . but the focus of this article is on action movies . yeah , you bring up women from other genres in what you want at the end , but the comparisons you make in the bulk of the piece all have to do with movies where strength in the physical sense is necessary for some of the scenarios that will pop up because of the genre of the film .

loved it – absolutely brilliant – not enough of the right female characters on screen and just about every female that’s described as “strong” is still somehow attached to a guy . depth people . for heaven’s sake let’s have more of it .
sorry to interrupt the great discussion , but i’m not against flawed female characters , listentoreason . i’m for them . reread the article .
the mummy 3 gets the thumbs up from me as an action movie which passes the bechdel test . three kickass women with families and jobs who help save the universe as a hobby . admittedly it’s the only one i can think of at present , but i loved it for that .
but the important thing to note is that i can still disagree with part or whole of a given idea about the male gaze or how movies set social and behavioral norms and still be a feminist . and i am . but i’m also a bit of a new critic , which is a somewhat unhappy ideological marriage .
oh , and a quick note on depressed characters . the lack of depressed female characters is probably due less to any gender issues than to the fact that when you’re depressed , you tend to spend a lot of time in bed , avoiding people . not exactly gripping cinema .
perhaps the saddest thing about all this is that it shows that no one involved really believed in the message of the final product . they didn ' t produce a film in order to convey any kind message , they just strung together a bunch of cool scenes and called it a movie . one more reason why audience feedback isn ' t always the best guide , as anyone who has read youtube comments will happily tell you .
is it unfair to say that everything that was good about superman ii was due to donner , and that all of the goofy parts were lester ' s fault ? let ' s put it this way : when lester was finally given control of an entire film from the start , he gave the world superman iii .
so it looks like hollywood is offering something for everyone , but you’re not satisfied . is your contempt of nerdy males so intense that you want to deny them the kind of entertainment they prefer ? do you believe that stupidly - written movies _ create _ nerdy males ?
above and beyond phonological re - tuning , another important aspect of l2 learning is vocabulary . some previous studies have found that audiovisuals with subtitles can help acquire new vocabulary [ 19 , 21 , 22 ] . written presentation seems to help single out unknown words from the spoken stream [ 23 ] and , according to some studies , the integration of sound , video and spelling leads stronger memory trace than visual and audio stimuli alone [ 24 ] . yet , this has not been unequivocally established [ 25 ] . we therefore decided to test vocabulary acquisition of the written words in the subtitles .

the history of marathi cinema can be traced back to the very first indian film itself . the first film in indian cinema was made by marathi filmmaker , by dr . dadasahed phalke in the year 1913 . the film was a silent feature film called “raja harishchandra” .
by the 1920s , a few more marathi silent features came about . namely ,
in 1925 - both directed by baburao painter . but the first ever marathi talkie film came almost a decade later in the form of a film
marathi cinema saw maestros like bhalji pendhalkar , raja paranjpe , acharya atre , master vinayak and more at the forefront of things . during this time , the focus of films remained predominantly on retelling of hindu mythological stories and historical legends , with films such as
in kolhapur , which eventually moved to pune where the present day ftii stands .
, directed by v . g . damle and sheikh fattelal , went on to become the
then came the 1960s , from where began the golden era of marathi cinema . this period ( right to the 1970s ) saw the rise of filmmakers such as anant mane , datta dharmadhikari and dada kondke . naturally , the new batch of filmmakers also brought along with them a shift in content . three distinct kinds of content became evident in marathi films . anant mane brought to life the folk art of
in his films , reviving the native maharashtrian style of storytelling . datta dharmadhikari became known for his traditional family dramas . and , by 1970 , dada kondke made simple comedies rich with double entendre humor popular . interestingly , after his debut success dada kondke used the exact same team that he did in his very first film .
with the advent of 1970s , new age cinema came into existence through the works of one of the most noteworthy marathi playwrights , vijay tendulkar . vijay tendulkar dived deep into the angry anti - establishment mood for his screenplays , plays such as
cut to the 80s , and we saw yet another shift in content . comedy became the highlight of marathi films . the 80s brought into spotlight two of the most memorable and noteworthy comedy actors : ashok saraf and laxmikant berde . on the director’s chair we also saw two fresh faces in the form of mahesh kothare and sachin pilgaonkar , both of who can be credited to making marathi films more appealing to a younger audience .
mahesh kothare shot his film dhadakebaaj in the anamorphic format , making it the first marathi film to have done so . he’s also responsible for bringing a number of technical innovations to the industry , one among which include making
in 2004 – the first ever marathi film with digital special effects . he later went on to make
in 3d in 2013 – once again , the first marathi movie to have done so .
almost simultaneously , as an echo of the prevalent social and economic sentiment in maharashtra , new wave cinema seemed to be on the rise once again . but this time , the storytelling had moved from hard - hitting content to social commentary via children’s stories or with children as a key driver in the story . this was in a bid to make social subjects more palatable to a larger audience . we saw
directed by paresh mokashi , became india’s official entry to the oscars under the best foreign language film category .
although the marathi film industry has a long way to go in terms of financing , technical innovations and more alternative content , more and more hindi film producers are seen taking an interest in marathi films . small budget , coming of age teen film
was produced by utv films . marathi films too now carry high production value and are marketed rigorously like any major bollywood film .
while we are yet to see a marathi sci - fi film or an epic drama equivalent to bahubali , we’re sure those days are not too far . fortunately – whether it’s screenplay , acting or directing – there seems to be no dearth of talent in this industry . moreover , with marathi filmmakers actively realizing that the market is already saturated with over the top movies with no story or quality content to speak of , we can rest assured of the constant supply of meaningful marathi films .
the multi - instrumentalist , komorebi is creating her first stop - motion , live action video . the song , little one is a childhood memory in sound .

escape from taliban is a 2003 indian film that is directed by ujjal chattopadhyaya .

the film is based on the story a kabuliwala 's bengali wife by sushmita banerjee , who fled afghanistan in 1995 after six years of living there with her afghan husband .

during that time , the taliban issued a death sentence for her because she refused to abide by their rule on converting to islam .

sushmita banerjee , whose book inspired this movie , was shot dead by suspected taliban militants in afghanistan in september 2013 .

escape from taliban

unless you are a devout manisha fan , it would be advisable to safely escape escape from taliban .
but you finally made escape from taliban , based on the book . . .
banerjee’s book kabuliwalar bangali bou ( kabuliwala’s bengali wife ) , about her escape from the taliban in 1995 , became a bestseller in india and was made into the bollywood film “escape from taliban” in 2003 . the memoir focussed on her life in afghanistan with her husband and her escape from the militants . later she wrote two more books on the subject .
sushmita banerjee at a news conference in 2002 , announcing a film based on her life story ,
escape from taliban .
in 2003 , her book was made into a bollywood film ,
escape from taliban .
bollywood movies are extremely popular in afghanistan .
banerjee wrote a book called “kabuliwalar bangali bou” ( a kabuliwala’s bengali wife ) , which chronicles her 1995 escape from the taliban in afghanistan .
among other discrepancies , banerjee pointed out that key people in aiding her escape were completely omitted from the film .
an indian author whose memoir about her dramatic escape from the taliban became a bollywood movie was shot dead by militants in afghanistan , police said thursday .
the 49 year old author gained popularity with her book “kabuliwalar bangali bou” dealing with her escape from taliban which also inspired a bollywood movie starring manisha koirala .
an indian author whose life story was told in the bollywood movie escape from taliban was shot dead after returning to afghanistan to make a documentary about women .
director ujjal chatterjee ' s escape from taliban traces sushmita ' s ( manisha koirala ) journey from kolkata to strife - torn afghanistan after she rebels against her parents and marries janbaaz khan ( nawab khan ) .
preview by manish gajjar , bollywood specialist inspired by a novel called a kabuliwala ' s bengali wife , escape from taliban is the true story of sushmita banerjee ' s horrific experience in afghanistan and her daring escape from the taliban in 1995 . the film portrays the life of a woman who triumphs against all odds for justice .
during their 1996 - 2001 reign , the taliban banned women from education , voting and most work .
banerjee and her husband , afghan businessman jaanbaz khan , were distraught after the release of “escape from taliban” for the false portrayal of khan in the film , according to the india times .
khan added that his wife had not received any threats from the taliban since returning to afghanistan this year .
the author sushmita banerjee , who married an afghan and lived for years in a remote rural area , became a celebrity in india when her story was made into the bollywood film escape from taliban .
sub : horrible i saw escape from taliban and it was really horrible . i thought since this was based on a real incident , it would be quite watchable , . . . posted by ahsam
as far as production values go , escape from taliban hovers in the sub - zero region . the camera makes these funny , shaky movements in scenes where the taliban soldiers are terrorising their subjects . far from looking like an artistic touch , it seems like the cameraman dozed off while these shots were in progress .
despite threats of execution , she convinced the taliban to send her to the indian embassy from where she was repatriated to india .
based on a true story , this film shows the struggle of sushmita banerjee at the hands of the taliban in afganistan , with her daring and victorious escape .
escape from taliban also consists of an international star cast . includes actress manisha koirala who is the cine actress and goodwill ambassador for the govt . of nepal and india in unicef . also includes actor nawab khan from kandahar , afghanistan and actress feroze from iran . this film will be made in english and dubbed in hindi so as to attract a much wider international audience upon its release towards the end of this year .
sushmita had fled from afghanistan in 1995 after living there for six years after taliban issued a death sentence against her for refusing to convert to islam .
in another interview she talked about her second escape from death in the hands of taliban . “the taliban court gave its verdict . i was to be shot dead on the morning of july 22 , 1995 , on the charge of disorderly behaviour unbecoming of a woman… at 10 . 27 a . m . , i was brought to the mehman - khana ( guest room ) where 15 taliban soldiers , who were to be my executioners , were reading verses from the koran . ” said sushmita .
in 2003 , banerjee’s book was adapted into a bollywood film called “escape from taliban . ” directed by ujjal chattopadhyaya , the film depicted banerjee’s forbidden marriage to a muslim man and eventual damnation by the taliban for running a pharmacy and refusal to convert to islam , according to the guardian . banerjee was persecuted specifically for refusing to wear a burka .
was released , she fled from her village and travelled for 36 days to reach india .
escape from taliban opens on a typical bengali girl , sushmita ( manisha koirala ) who forsakes her religion and her family for janbaz khan , the love of her life . he is a tall , dark , handsome and intelligent young man from afghanistan . she leaves her life - long companions in kolkata to be with her loved one in the remote village of sharan , near ghazni .
banerjee , from kolkata , moved to afghanistan in 1989 after marrying khan , an afghan businessman .
one night shortly after that , banerjee dug a tunnel through the mud wall of the house she was being held in and attempted to make her escape . she was quickly picked up and interrogated by 15 taliban members .
the taliban has denied any involvement in the death . banerjee , who told her story of life under the islamist taliban in the book a kabuliwala’s bengali wife , was dragged from her house in the lawless southeastern province of paktika and shot as many as 24 times , police said .
after being contacted by the bbc , the taliban did not claim responsibility for the murder .
the film was marketed as the “story of a woman who dares ( the ) taliban . ”
a family moves into a possessed bungalow . a sudden turn of events in the house leaves them astonished . when things worsen , escape seems to be their last resort .
benerjee ' s book , a kabuliwala ' s bengali wife , detailed the harsh lifestyle of women in rural afghanistan that she had been expected to embrace when she moved there with her husband in 1989 . the taliban swept to power some time after he returned to india to work , and she decided to escape a life that had gone from difficult to unendurable when soldiers closed her small pharmacy .
an indian author famous for her dramatic account of escaping taliban - ruled afghanistan nearly two decades ago , and who later returned to the country , has been shot dead by the hardline group after being dragged from her home .
zadran said locals knew that banerjee had
made a movie about the taliban and afghan culture
, but he said there was no clear motive for the attack . the bbc said a taliban official had denied any responsibility for the attack – spokesmen for the hardline islamist movement frequently disown operations . in afghanistan violence often stems from tribal , family or other disagreements or may be conducted by semi - autonomous groups acting without orders from senior insurgent commanders .
“they promised to send me back to india . but they did not keep their promise . instead , they kept me under house arrest and branded me an immoral woman . the taliban threatened to teach me a lesson . i knew i had to escape , ” she wrote .

they also listed out dos and don ' ts . the burkha was a necessity . listening to the radio or playing a tape recorder was banned . women were not allowed to go to shops . they were even prohibited from stepping out from their houses unless accompanied by their husbands .
her first escape attempt was foiled by her own brothers - in - law , who were enraged that she had brought shame on their home by trying to flee . during the second attempt she was caught by taliban soldiers and nearly executed , but persuaded them that as an indian she had a right to leave the country .
“as the verses unfolded themselves in melodic incantation , one of the men looked up and asked : “do you want us to convey your last message to your husband ? ” she claims that she managed to escape the jaws of death by snatching the loaded kalashnikov from the wall , thus turning the tables on the soldiers who usually keep their firearms out in the courtyard” .
when this happens , her real fight begins . after three years of torture and two failed escape attempts , she makes her way out of the clutches of the taliban to freedom on 7 august 1995 . ironically , it is the afghani women who help her in her escape to freedom . national award winner , bengali film maker , ujjal chattopadhayaya directs this autobiographical account . locations of jaisalmer , hydrabad , mumbai and ladakh were chosen for this film . the latter depicted the rugged terrain of afghanistan with great accuracy where most of the outdoor shooting was carried out .
anna and ira prank a local woman by writing her letters from a secret admirer . the prank takes a more serious turn when the local women goes missing ,
her body was found on thursday morning near an islamic school about 3km ( two miles ) from her home , paktika police chief general dawlat khan zadran said .
he said suspected taliban insurgents broke into her house wednesday night , blindfolded and tied up her husband , and fled with banerjee .
i remember it was early that year that members of the taliban came to our house ,
she wrote in outlook .
after she was branded “a woman of poor morals” by the taliban , according to the india times , she fled to islamabad , pakistan to seek help from the indian high commission . she was quickly tracked down by her brother - in - law and taken back into afghanistan and put into her husband’s home .
the lives of four women from different places are the victims of male chauvinism and marital abuse . they decide to fight for their rights and dignity against the social norms and injustice .
shocking taliban interview
fox news doesn ' t want you to see - part 1 / 3 . [ bring our troops home ! ]
despite that harrowing experience , she chose to move back to afghanistan with her husband , apparently believing that she had put the taliban years behind her .
gunmen entered her house at 11pm on wednesday , took her out and shot her dead ,
zadran said , adding that he suspected taliban involvement .
she wrote an article for india ' s outlook magazine in 1998 , about her life in afghanistan , which she describes as tolerable until the taliban crackdown in 1993 .

moreover , with the rise of fundamentalism , the taliban make her life more horrendous . it is at this point that sushmita ' s individuality comes to the fore . she starts protesting at the treatment being meted out to her day after day , night after night . all this angers the taliban so much that a death sentence is issued against her .
noted indian author sushmita banerjee has been killed by taliban militants in afghanistan today . sushmita banerjee was married to an afghan businessman jaanbaz khan and had recently moved there to live with him .
they also listed out do ' s and don ' ts . the burkha was a necessity . listening to the radio or playing a tape recorder was banned . women were not allowed to go to shops . they were even prohibited from stepping out from their houses unless accompanied by their husbands . all women had to have the names of their husbands tattooed on their left hand . virtually all interaction between men and women outside the confines of their own homes was banned .
when i told her that manisha koirala had given her nod for the film , she was very happy . she went to mumbai to meet her and taught her the finer nuances of the character . manisha had asked her once if women in afghanistan do their eyebrows . didi said they even wear mascara . though poor , they love to look good . didi showed us how women there lift from the well , which is very different from the way it happens in india and taught manisha and me
i know from one of manish koirala ' s ( lead actress ) quotes that she enjoyed doing this role . i think more indian movies as such should be made in bollywood . people can get lost in the songs of the movie if they are accustomed to the usual style of bollywood movies . but aside from the music , the plot is very good and manisha koirala ' s acting is more than satisfactory ( her acting in
agnisakshi
was the best ) . it is a good portrayal of how women were imprisoned by taliban more than men in the whole population in afghanistan . very believable as opposed to the usual bollywood plots and good character development . it is a must see in order to understand the relief that people ( especially women ) must have felt when taliban was captured . it is also a good example of how god ' s name can be misused and religions sculpted to suit man ' s desires .
some analysts have linked a series of attacks on indian targets in afghanistan to regional rivalry in south asia in which india and pakistan fight for influence in the country . the imminent withdrawal of international troops from afghanistan has given the contest a new edge , they say .
the taliban apparently tracked her down to her old home and burst into the compound in the middle of the night . they dragged the 45 year - old away and left the rest of the family unhurt .
she converted to islam and changed her name to sayed kamala . she opened a dispensary providing medicine , but her life changed dramatically in 1993 , when the taliban emerged in southern afghanistan after years of war .
it recounts her story of marrying for love and moving to afghanistan in 1989 to be with her husband . it traces her life in afghanistan , her harassment by the taliban and her eventual journey back to india .
they had heard of the dispensary i was running from my house . i am not a qualified doctor . but i knew a little about common ailments , and since there was no medical help in the vicinity , i thought i could support myself and keep myself busy by dispensing medicines . the members of the taliban who called on us were aghast that i , a woman , could be running a business establishment . they ordered me to close down the dispensary and branded me a woman of poor morals .

however there were plenty of reasons for the taliban to target banerjee . in an article in the indian magazine outlook the writer , who had converted to islam , described how villagers she lived with were
terrorised
by the movement .
india author sushmita banerjee , also known as sayed kamala , was murdered outside her home in afghanistan last night after recently returning to the country to be with her husband . she fled in 1995 after being held and threatened by the taliban .
the killing was the latest in a series of high - profile attacks on women , including the abduction of female mp fariba ahmadi kakar last month and the shooting death of a prominent afghan policewoman in the southern taliban heartland city of kandahar in july .
her second book , taliban , afghan and i in bangla , sold nearly half - a - million copies . the final volume , ek borno mithya noi ( not a word is a lie ) released in 2001 , was also a best - seller .
in an interview with a magazine in 2002 , sushmita had said that she was persecuted for refusing to wear a burka . she also got into trouble for refusing to close her pharmacy . on one occasion , taliban came to her home and attacked her .
the members of the taliban who called on us were aghast that i , a woman , could be running a business establishment . they ordered me to close down the dispensary and branded me a woman of poor morals ,
she wrote years later .
“they were too scared . i don’t know what would have happened if a [ local leader ] had not intervened . he was fond of me for my work among the sick women . the taliban , on that occasion , could not continue and fled . ”
sushmita and jaanbaz live in india , and they are in love . they intend to marry , but sushmita ' s family is strongly opposed to the marriage , since jaanbaz is a muslim and they are hindus . but sushmita and jaanbaz do get married , and jaanbaz takes her with him to his country - - afghanistan . on the way there , sushmita is horrified to see mutilated corpses , bomb explosions , and armed militants . she is terrified and asks jaanbaz to take her back , but jaanbaz takes her to his home . jaanbaz ' s family is delighted with sushmita and welcomes her . but some members of his family regard her as a non - believer . soon , sushmita is given a muslim name , sayed kamal and , later , gives birth to a baby girl . sushmita ' s attempts to flee with her daughter are all in vain . is she destined to live in a country where women have no rights , bear abuse all the time , and cannot even leave the threshold of their dwelling without a male escort ? how can one woman and a child escape from the taliban ?
sushmita was killed outside her home in paktika province . reports say that taliban militants arrived at her home in the provincial capital of kharana , tied up her husband and other members of the family , took banerjee out and shot her , police were quoted as saying by bbc .
also , while we would have to believe what we are shown because the film is based on a true story , it is quite difficult to digest the fact that this kafir woman goes around lecturing and defying the taliban at every given opportunity ( at the peak of their tyrannical rule ) and gets away with it .
banerjee recently moved back to afghanistan to live with her husband in the city of kharana . earlier today , according to the bbc , taliban militants stormed her home . after tying up banerjee’s husband , they dragged her outside and shot her in the head . her body was dumped near a religious school , according to local police .
sushmita arrives in her husband ' s village at a time when afghanistan has already been devastated by the soviet invasion and the taliban movement is gaining momentum in the war - ravaged country . ( there is a scene in which very non - russian looking russian soldiers stop janbaaz ' s jeep and question him in curious - sounding english ) .
last night around 1 . 30am the taliban came to their house , broke down the door and took her alone to a different area called al - jihad , where there is a madrassa ,
daulat khan zadran , the provincial police chief in paktika , told the guardian .
after that they opened fire on her , there were 15 bullets in her body .
in fact , aly khan who plays the local taliban chief , actually waits for her to finish her fiery outbursts till he raises an eye - brow like ( yesteryear actor ) k n singh and admonishes her . what ' s worse , while he is barking out his ultimatums , you are agonising over his false beard , which looks like it might just fall off if he barks too loud .
she retaliated , but came to know that it was accepted in afghanistan . janbaaz told her that she wouldn���t have married him had she known and so , he kept it under wraps . in fact , she shared a great rapport with gulgutti . later , when she fled from afghanistan in 1995 , gulgutti was among those who helped her . again , when gulgutti was pregnant , she took care of her . didi could not become a mother and adopted one of her brother - in - law���s daughter ��� tinni . though she felt unfulfilled as a woman , she shared a great bond with tinni and loved her a lot .
a senior police official said banerjee , also known as sayed kamala , was working as a health worker in paktika and had been filming the lives of local women as part of her work .
“two men stood on top of me and beat me mercilessly while the others pulled at my hair , ” she said . “other women of the house just watched as mute spectators .

banerjee , 49 , had recently moved to paktika province to live with her husband , afghan businessman jaanbaz khan , police said .
she was a health worker who helped women in an area that had very few female health professionals , police said .

it was the latest in a string of attacks and intimidation campaigns against prominent women . one senator lost a daughter in a recent ambush , and a popular mp remains missing weeks after she was kidnapped on a main highway .
she chose to move back to afghanistan several years ago and was living with her husband , janbaz khan , in his family home just outside the main town in paktika province , near the border with pakistan , where she did healthcare work .

a week after madhur bhandarkar ' s satta , which depicted a powerful female protagonist ( played by raveena tandon ) , comes another woman - oriented film based on the true life story of a lady called sushmita banerjee .
anyway , this modern woman brought up in kolkata ' s liberal environment starts feeling stifled in her husband ' s regressive extended family which treats women like cattle . nor is she prepared for the gun - toting and bloodshed that is an inherent part of life in afghanistan .
as the story unfolds , sushmita makes the shocking discovery that her husband is already married to a native woman and expects his indian bride to accept this reality . worse , he quietly dumps both wives and returns to india for work .
the rest of the plot is all about this gutsy woman ' s innumerable attempts at escaping afghanistan along with her adopted daughter . sadly , after spending over an hour in chronicling her brave efforts at trying to slip out of the country , the film ' s end is very tame .
bijon dasgupta ' s tacky sets can pass off as an afghan village , probably because most of us in india don ' t know what an afghan village is supposed to look like . for outdoor locations , the rugged terrain of picturesque ladakh is meant to pass off as afghanistan .
the film ' s supporting cast is extremely ineffective because most artistes lack the ability . if you happen to watch the dubbed hindi version ( this is actually an english language film ) , there is the added irritation caused by lack of cohesion between the dialogues and visuals .
debutant nawab khan is painfully lacklustre . aly khan is hilarious but not intentionally .
it is up to manisha koirala in her neatly permed hair to prop this show . she energetically tries to inject life into a film that has an interesting story , but lacks actual execution .

“many of them said that since i had fled my husband’s home i should be executed . however , i was able to convince them that since i was an indian i had every right to go back to my country , ” wrote banerjee .
the militants continued interrogating her through the night . the next morning they took her to the indian embassy . she was given safe passage to calcutta , where she was reunited with her husband .
“two men stood on top of me and beat me mercilessly while the others pulled at my hair , ” said banerjee . “other women of the house just watched as mute spectators . ”
banerjee was portrayed by indian actress manisha koirala . check out the film’s trailer above .
“after seeing the film , i felt miserable , ” said banerjee . “my husband has been depicted as a wife - abuser in the film . this is absolutely false . ”
after seeing the film , khan felt that he could no longer show his face in public . he was disgraced .
“he was so depressed , he mentioned having a wish to commit suicide , ” said banerjee .
according to urltoken , banerjee was working as an aid worker in the nearby city of paktika at the time of her death . she was doing that while working on her next project , documenting the lives of women through film as part of her work .

the assassination of sushmita banerjee , 49 , on wednesday was the latest in a series of attacks on women in the islamic country .
banerjee’s husband , jaanbaz khan , said he had heard knocking on the back gate of their compound on wednesday night .
i opened the gate and two gunmen with turbans wrapped around their faces burst in ,
he said .
they beat me , blindfolded me , bound my hands and feet and locked me in a room .
i was released early the next morning when some family came to the house and discovered me .
additionally , women were not allowed to leave their homes without permission and a male escort .
branded a woman of poor morals , she was forced to close her dispensary and whipped for refusing to wear a burqa , she said in her book .
she fled to pakistan but was brought back by her husband’s family and kept under house arrest .
according to her book , she escaped in 1994 by tunnelling a hole through the house’s mud wall .
banerjee was making a documentary about the lives of women in paktika when she was killed , said the head of afghanistan’s national journalists’ union , faheem dashty .
she was also planning to write another book about afghanistan , her indian publisher , swapan biswas , said .
she was sad that she had nothing to offer in the book fair in kolkata earlier this year and she told me she planned to go to afghanistan to gather material for a new book ,
he said .
it is so sad , and so shocking ,
said fellow bengali writer shirshendu mukhopadhyay .
she was a brave woman and had been working for women there .
to her horror she discovers on her arrival that her husband already has a wife . soon she is subjected to the harsh inhumane afghan lifestyle in her in - laws residence and learns a new meaning of womanhood , where woman are born for the pleasure of men and to bear their children . she is not supposed to have a mind nor an identity of her own .

shah rukh khan and anubhav sinha keen to make ' ra . one ' sequel ?
, was grit personified . an author , her book kabuliwalar bangali bou was translated on screen by director ujjwal chatterjee and starred
. the director recalls the time spent with the author during the film���s making . excerpts :
i met her in october , 2000 . her kabuliwalar bangali bou was already a bestseller and she came to my office and said , ���make a film on it . but first read the book��� . while i was impressed by her grit , i was sceptical about making a movie on it . here was a bengali woman , fighting against all odds in afghanistan , had a
issued against her . . . . in look and feel , the film had to be international . after seven days , i met her again and expressed my concern . she asked , ���why can���t you make it ? ��� i told her the film had to be made in either hindi or english . and at that point in time , i was struggling to find a foothold in mumbai .
and went with him to live in sarana , afghanistan . the day she reached her in - laws��� place , she was not met with the sound of conch shell , but gunfire . russians and afghans were engaged in gunfight and didi and her husband had to take shelter under a rock for six hours . in the morning , when she reached her husband���s home , she realized he had another wife ��� gulgutti . also , there were around 72 family members . she tried to adjust to it .
, who had designed manisha���s clothes in the film . when i asked where we should be shooting , she said why not afghanistan . we even took a flight and went there for a recce , only to be called back by the indian government . we decided to shoot in leh - ladakh and some portions in jaisalmer . i remember taking a road trip to a remote area in kashmir . on that journey , didi fell ill . but never for once asked us to halt .
she was loved by her family , but didi would miss tinni . she would often say how life in kolkata would have been different if tinni was with her . though janbaaz would come and stay with her , she would still miss tinni . a gutsy woman , she would run a dispensary in sarana and took care of women���s health . she raised a hell when she found out that medicines sent to women had crossed their expiry date . once the
i met her last in 2005 . it was a short meeting at the airport , where i told her how manisha and i had to take police protection after the release of the film . life had changed a great deal after
i think it���s for tinni . she was sad she could not be a mother and wanted to unite with her daughter . that led to her undoing .
