Jag Mundhra (born Jagmohan Mundhra 29 October 1948 – 4 September 2011) was an Indian American director, producer, and screenwriter best known for his early career as an American exploitation film writer-director.
After his first dramas, Suraag, and the socially-relevant film, Kamla, Mundhra directed, in the late 1980s and the 1990s, a string of horror and erotic thriller movies for theatrical distribution and direct to video, including "The Jigsaw Murders" (1988), "Halloween Night" (1988), "Night Eyes" (1990), "The Other Women" (1992), "L.A.

"Bawander" is about the fight of a poor woman for justice and was based on the story of a Rajasthani woman Bhanwari Devi.

He gave Rs 50,000 and land for Bhanwari Devi and also money for her son's education.
To Mundhra, "It's not a movie about rape, but the empowerment of a woman.
This character could be fictitious and yet the story would have had the same powerful message".

At the time of his death he was working on a film based on the life of Sonia Gandhi.
Mundhra was also a life member of International Film And Television Club of Asian Academy of Film & Television.
Basic Instinct
Basic Instinct is a 1992 American neo- noir erotic thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas, and starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone.
The film follows a police detective, Nick Curran( Douglas), who is investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star.
During the investigation Curran becomes involved in a torrid and intense relationship with the prime suspect, Catherine Tramell( Stone), an enigmatic writer.
Eszterhas developed the script in the 1980s, which became a subject of a bidding war until Carolco Pictures acquired the rights to the film.
From there, Verhoeven signed on to direct and Douglas and Stone joined the project, after many actresses were considered the role of Tramell.
Before its release," Basic Instinct" generated heated controversy due to its overt sexuality and graphic depictions of violence, including a scene of rape.
It was strongly opposed by gay rights activists, who criticized the film's depiction of homosexual relationships and the portrayal of a bisexual woman as a murderous psychopath.
In a 2006 interview, Stone alleged that a scene in which her vulva was exposed as she crossed her legs was filmed without her knowledge.
" Basic Instinct" premiered in Los Angeles on March 18, 1992, and was released in the United States by TriStar Pictures on March 20, 1992.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of its cast, original score, and editing, but criticized its writing and character development.
Despite initial mixed critical reception and public protest," Basic Instinct" was a box office success, grossing$ 352 million worldwide, making it the fourth highest grossing film of 1992.
Several versions of the film have been released on videocassette, DVD, and Blu -ray including a director's cut with extended footage previously unseen in North American cinemas.
The film has contemporarily been recognized for its groundbreaking depictions of sexuality in mainstream Hollywood cinema, and has been referred to by scholars as" a neo- noir masterpiece that plays with, and transgresses, the narrative rules of film noir."
A 2006 sequel," Basic Instinct 2", starred Stone and was made without Verhoeven's involvement, but received negative reviews from critics and was not particularly successful at the box office.
