Absolutely the worst movie.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It was fulfilling to see Gulabi Gang. I did not read any reviews or ratings etc. I went along with my sister and mother but was initially apprehensive as it was a documentary film and unfortunately in country like ours people think film as entertainment, with a hero, a heroine and villain with some song songs and dance numbers. Fortunately everyone liked. I was the first person to clap in the theatre in the end and then every one clapped. It was satisfying to see this film and i must thank Nishtha Jain, the maker for taking all the pain and roam around in Banda district villages and shoot this stuff, especially it must be quiet painful to shoot the charred body of that girl. I thought the film will end when Ramrati's (murdered girl, i hope this was the name) parents filed the case. But it was revealing to see how Husna was biased for her family. It was very layered documentary. In one hand Ramprasad Tiwary kind of demons, who will instil so much of fear in people that people did not vote against him and on the other hand people like Husna who are so deeply treaded under the norms that she will leave the Gulabi Gang but not go against wrongs. I can not blame Husna for it. Its the men who have made this kind of society and its pompous norms. Girls fall in love, kill her, boy rapes someone, save her. WTF.Both the director and Sampat Pal are to be congratulated for showing and inspiring the change in society. Thanks.

Just when you thought you knew that human rights, womens liberation and even corruption was things that was on the right way even in India, comes this Norwegian documentary about the gulabi (pink) gang. A spontaneous womens rights organization organizing the women of the lowest rang in the Indian cast system. It started off after the killing of Sampat Pals daughter, and nows she's organized 150.000 women in standing up for themselves and the ancient believes in faith.We really can't imagine the courage they have, the women starting to opposing to the violence, the killings and the no-value-treatment of police, husbands, law and government. Several times I had to shed my tears. The people are so poor, they simply don't understand basics in how things are working. The corrupt chiefs and men in the rural villages arrange murders as suicide with so many obvious faults and flaws it's ridiculous. And the police don't lift a finger, because it's just a woman!The film is exciting, shocking and very sincere. It's depressing and uplifting, and has quite a lot of humor. It will not leave you unmarked. The problems are there. Translasting sentences which obviously are badly spoken in many situations, and there's also some technical faults, but then again this film doesn't have to be perfect, since the content is so strong.I don't really see how they are going to get out of this if their not helped, not only by this film, but also by the government and the rest of the world. The things happening in India now, concerning woman's rights has to mean something. Still the fear and believes of faith will be so stubborn.The pity is that they are so poor that none of these even know what a TV is. Some have a mobile phone, and in some years, this will bring them internet. It's so appalling that the world is so ineffective in dealing with human rights that they can't do something about this situation.I saw this in a quite full cinema on the womens liberation day 8th of March, and the film got a spontaneous and long applause when the credits were shown. What a perfect film to screen on a day like this. I can say that as a man, and supporter of womens liberation. What I can't comprehend is that the cast system can have so many supporters in 2013!This film is more than any a proof that ignorance is our worst enemy in making the world go forward. Watching the lazy and stupid men here sitting around protecting their rights to do nothing while they torture the 11 year old girls married into their families because of money... I got no word for it! It's pre-medieval, stone age, unbelievably depressing. An important film. Go see it! Make sure to use this on womens liberation's themed days and arrangements It's perfect as an eye-opener.

Gulabi Gang is a picture of rural India. It's a story about underprivileged and especially a story of Indian women. If you don't obey the strict social norms and the dictate of powerful and corrupted (male) rulers, you can easily pay with your life. Beautiful shots of everyday life are just the opposite of what these people have to go through. The movement called Gulabi Gang led by charismatic Sampat Pal started to change the unchangeable with an organised social action and unification. That brings the hope for the future.Gulabi Gang Zindabad!

This is a documentary well worth seeing because it is not an easy subject to film. The main subject of the film, Sampat Lal, is a difficult character to portray because you cannot think about her in simple black and white terms. Yet, she and her group of women have done something that is truly remarkable.Nishtha Jain has done a nuanced job and brought out the pluses and minuses of the work that is being done by the Gulabi Gang. The difficult conditions in which they work has also been brought out.It is also beautifully shot. The film captures the region in which the Gulabi Gang operates very well, helping us to understand the background.
