I'm about to buy Born Into Brothels and The Bandit Queen. I've seen the former, and its a brilliant documentary. But I have only seen parts of the latter. Opinions on The Bandit Queen anyone? I'm looking to expand my Indian film collection from just the 2 films that I have at the moment (The Warrior and Slumdog Millionaire). Any other recommendations? I'm not much for the traditional singing and dancing stuff. I prefer the more serious dramatic fare. I had owned Asoka before, but traded it for something else. That film did have exquisite visuals, but the acting, or maybe the pacing, didn't match the other high production values. It was entertaining though.
