Plot

Parihar was abducted at the age of 13 from her village and the film depicts her transformation into a bandit.

Cast

Production

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]

Reception

Turnout for Wounded was poor and reception was described as "lackluster" by the Hindustan Times.[14]
