This Movie is Disgusting
Is this what society has come to? Are you kidding me? There actually is a movie being made that depicts a murderer as a hero? Now, if he battered her and she just went to the police about it, fine (though I suppose that wouldn't make a good movie then). But she killed him, and got away with it too. She should have been put away for life. I don't care if it was 'provoked' or not, she killed her husband and she should face the consequences. At least she has the opportunity to improve her life, unlike her husband. All this movie is doing is supporting the notion that violence against men is ok. Now men are going to be afraid to even upset their wives/girlfriends, because they know they could be killed for it (and the murderers would get away with it too). Can you imagine what the public reaction would be if the genders had been reversed? What if a movie were being made about a 'hero' who murderered his wife because she abused him? Contrary to popular belief, all men are not stronger than all women. I know for certain he would be sent to jail for life or put on Death Row in that scenario, and justifiably so. Why should it be any different for her? She is not a 'heroine' for doing this. Her act was cowardly and she is a cold-blooded killer! Why are we praising her? This movie disgusts me. It is absolutely sickening.

You are an arrogant pig if you really think those things. Seriosly, do you know any statistics at all, have you done any research at all. I did, and guess what she did go to the police, twice, and they sent her back both times. They said it was a house matter. She was raped every night and beaten with things you can't even imagin. She didn't have anyone to support her. So before you go off and say "Just go to the police" put yourself in that position. I read a lot about the true story, about what really happened to her, and she wasn't even allowed to make phone calls let alone leave the house. You say she should have tried to defend herself, she couldn't, he overpowered her everytime.
If you new anything about battered women, or women who are victims of domestic violence or rape, you would be syaing those stupid ignorant things. Do you know in the ten years she was married to him he nearly killed her hundreds of times. Shouldn't he have been charged with attemped murder.
Just so you know, this movie depicts a real life story. This really did happen to a woman, and if had bothered to find out any information about her case you wouldn't be acting so ignorant.
You talk about how you hate feminist, but you know what i hate people like you. It is a shame that women have to fight for the rights in todays world. Men and women should be treated equally, and no one should be subjected to abuse. Here are some statistics for you
one in three women are raped
a woman is raped every thirty seconds in the world
one in six women are beaten by their husbands/boyfriends
2% of all domestic violence cases are reported
You want to know why
When a woman says she is raped or beaten people blame her or don't believe her. How sick is today's society. Instead of punishing the guy who did it, the women are getting shunned from the family.
You are a idiot, and and ignorant a**hole if you really believe those things. SHUT UP and first understand the topic you are talking about, and ask yourself if you are properly educated to say anything.

alright first of all before u go off labeling me as a flamin feminist im a 16 yr old male... just throwin that out there
When a person goes through abuse during every single day of their lives, that too in an unknown world (i think she was brought in from india to britain.. correct me if im wrong), they feel like they have no hope left. they give up on life. some take the abuse for the rest of their miserable lives. some kill themselves. and others defend themselves. kiranjit felt like she NEEDED to kill her husband in order to get rid of her misery... her longing for freedom. and in addition to the hopelessness factor, she wanted revenge. you cant pity her husband because he used her.. destroyed her on the outside.. possibly raped her... and destroyed her soul. your sympathy toward the husband makes me feel ashamed of my own sex.. how ignorant and DISGUSTING some of us can be.
u said told us to imagine a movie about an abused husband and then u go on to talk about the "popular belief." i want you to compare the number of abused wife cases vs. abused husband cases and the severity of the cases(lol actually dont do that cuz that'll just waste ur time and its probably a lil hard...). i am sure there are FAR more abused wife cases. and also personally if there was a true story about a man who had to endure a severely abusive wife then i think that story would be interesting and really thought provoking. i mean it would honestly be amazing.. with the right cast and whatnot.
BACK to the shmick. We are praising Kiranjit for her bravery. For being able to stand up for herself, for her RIGHT TO LIVE.. to SURVIVE. thats all she did... she tried to survive.
im interested in reading a reply soo a response would be amazing
