(1)Why the movie is non - sense ? -- Because, (i) It talks nothing about 'India's daughter', film spews trash & lies about life of Indian men/women & society as whole. (ii) Its moral duty of documentary producer & maker to tell a complete story! its very un-ethical to show selective/skewed clips , scripted dialogs & use anecdotes to make unfair generalizations & more over claims through this movie that - most Indian men mentality & society in general keeps women at feet & have pervert attitude towards women (which i think is absolute non-sense).How many of you male Indians (reading this review right now) share same chauvinist behaviour towards women around you ?(as shone in movie by convicts / 1 of lawyers?) film-maker (2) Now let's talk about legality of movie, its impact on society & agenda of BBC / film-maker. i) Impact- BBC & film maker is reflecting only 1 thing on society - 'NEGATIVITY' Film gives an international platform to rape convicts to share their sexual chauvinist views towards women & this in turn may inspire other perverts/prospective future rapists to do same.ii) Agenda-BBC & film-maker have been quite successful in selling- 1 spicy Indian rape story to earn TV rated points (TRP) for BBC channel & converting it into- money/fame by defaming Indians & fooling its audiences (Indians are only species on earth who self pity & applaud white film-maker for her criminal act, Indian mindset is full of inferiority complex. Non-stop Indian TV adverts of fairness creams are best example, whats wrong with brown skin ? stop praising white skin people for no reason, stop taking selfie photos with white foreigner tourists because they are not aliens from Jupiter! Stop applauding & giving special treatments to white skin British film- maker - everything white westerners does/says is 'NOT' gospel truth). How about making a movie on black under-age girl raped by bunch of whites in London tubes? well , that does not earn BBC 1 Billion fans nor can you manage to bring millions of Britisher's to protest on streets against 1 rape/crime activity, also you cannot make an illegal movie within U.K.itself & its quite hard to sell 1 rape story to Britisher's & claim London as rape capital of world. Inferiority complex filled Indians would never believe that story anyway. HAHALegality - Leslee udwin & BBC are cheaters-who broke Indian laws by making ill-legal film, went further to broadcast it without getting it certified by Indian motion pictures censor board, & thus - insulted Indian society/people & have falsely painted India as rape capital of world. Film-maker has also betrayed her Indian crew who helped her make this film, Mukesh (one of convict movie character) has filed police complaint where he claimed that he was compelled to "speak the written script", parents of victim also have filed police complaint because they never gave permission to show real name of their victim daughter & the graphic images in movie, Film-maker is 'WANTED' by Indian law court. she may have got away with her criminal act but no one can deny that she is a fraud & fugitive & it saddens me to see many Indians applauding her movie/criminal acts, mis-deeds. BBC needs self-introspection, because they broadcasted an ill-legal movie which was made by breaking laws of other countries.

I was 17 when this incident happened when I was still in college. It affected me in ways I cannot explain. I remember being angry and every one I know was angry. People in my college organized prayers and vigils in the wake of the incident.We were told about the details of the this gruesome event. My own emotions went from uncontrollable rage to a feeling of powerlessness for not being able to do anything. "Nirbhaya"(fearless) as we called her, was no different from my own sister who is also a med student. She was ambitious, affectionate and hardworking. The weeks following the incident were intense, everyone was talking about it. 2 to 3 pages on all major news papers were covering rape. I remember the older people saying it was nothing like they have ever seen. The trail was sped up and the perpetrators were sentenced to death. Rape still today is reported in the front pages of Indian newspapers. Its a real problem and there is still a very long way to go.The international media eventually took notice, and started reporting world wide. Then came the problem, people in the west have started taking notice and terms such as "rape culture" "rape problem" and "rape capital" started to emerge. I myself was called a rapist more than once on the internet by some one claiming to be from the west. Their intention of course(or hopefully) was that this would force the people/govt to act. This put people on the defensive, making them quote rape statistics which again made them look like they are denying the problem. I wouldn't go into details of how it is exactly hurting the feminist movement in India. Leslie udwin's movie somewhat seems to be along those lines. It was meant for an international audience hence it could have been more detailed. Some Indians saw it as demeaning and showing only a part of the country. The credit for highlighting this issue and forcing the Indian govt to change rape laws in the country goes to Indian feminist and the fight forward will be by them and them only. Not by keyboard warriors sitting in their homes in the west. Leslie udwin seems to me as nothing but an opportunistic person causing more harm than good. This film is not that well researched either. It doesn't tell the history of rape law in India or doesn't go into the details of the patriarchal mentality.It also doesn't tell the class divide in India either, where in how old and new India are clashing. To me it seems like a movie where people watching can go "I'm glad that I wasn't born there". No solution was presented. There was also some "white" lady from London describing India as if the producers can't find an Indian to do the job and do it better. "Nirbhaya's" ordeal is an eye opener, This country will never be the same as it was before this event. The solution to equality is long and difficult. Also, This documentary was banned in India because of the statements made by the person under death row. The first trail of these men was some what a media trail. The appeals court wants to make sure correct justice is served with out it being a media controlled event.

BBC did a good job of creating a new propaganda against Indian. Kudos to you!Will it raise its ratings and status in the eyes of the public? Yes! If all Leslee Udwin cared about was about the rapes against women, she would have made a documentary on the rapes in her own homeland... which statistically have a lot more rapes compared to India,but she won't, cause that would have many indirect effects such as loss in tourism and if she wanted to go international, she could have filmed it in the country which has the highest rapes reported to population ratio. But no!Why you ask? That's because people don't know about them. They haven't reached the top international headlines yet. This documentary is so commercial, its disgusting.BBC. Shame on you.

This documentary is like a tri-dimensional snap shoot in time: it feels like a slow motion scene in the matrix, when bullets are every-where, and it's only about survival.India's daughter is just a very well done analysis of a disturbing and complex society.I don't understand why the film is banned in India. It just made me watch it on you tube asap; without waiting for the release on Netflix.
