INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
这个故事的真实版本中，甘古拜与拉辛之间怎么可能纯洁得只是以兄妹相称，一个弱女子上门求助，黑社会老大就毫不犹豫给予帮助，那他还当什么老大，做印度版雷锋好了。
有时候我们会悲哀地看到，思想一旦深入人心，即便是同性也会成为帮凶。
被拐卖成妓女还能翻身拿到这种成绩，搁你们身上试试。别的不说，男的上位十有八九也得靠男人哈😦
打了好些字又删了 有自己的事业并为之奋斗 有自己的理想并为之坚持 有自己的坚持而为之忍受孤独。为这个电影的话题之大胆，人物之丰满，剧本之夯实而五星。为什么这么说，不管如何讨论，有哪个角度能比从妓.女这个广受整个人类鄙夷的角色更具有冲突性的来讨论女性权益和奋斗的？
毫无起伏……感觉女演员刻意压低嗓音强凹霸气人设😂
很有力量的大女主电影，虽然片子开头说这不是一部传记片，但影片其实是真实还原了这位伟大印度女性甘古拜的主要半生…出生在优越律师家庭的女主因年少时轻信男友被卖进妓院，从此开启了她悲惨却逆袭的一生，并因此一直致力于为同样境遇的女性提供帮助和为她们争取和守护人权~片子整体非常不错，尤其是台词写的特别出彩，女主美飞了但绝对不是花瓶，以为是部爽片却好几次被感动泪奔…看完又是羡慕隔壁电影题材和尺度的一天…
不同女权学派对prostitution其实有很多种解读，有的认为是加深对女性的迫害，有的则是pro-sex认为这也是女性的一种表达，还有一种声音关心从经济角度来讲，这是一种女性摆脱对男性经济上的依赖、独立自我 脱离贫困的方式。女主太美了！
好帅好美！（我的devanagari变好了哈哈哈哈我可太开心了
能为弱势群体发声就是不错的。女主年轻了点，面相也不太符合角色需要的样子。
用漂亮脸蛋来演绎的爽文女主电影，深度全靠想象和二次解读。
不理解她被一千卢布卖给妓院，为何就顺从了，给家里打个电话，完全可以给妓院老板一万卢布，赎回她。然后直到25年后才给家里一个电话，父亲早就因为她离家出走而病故了。最后她还为了捍卫妓院不被关闭而奋斗，妓院的妇女都是被卖进来的，不得已而从生，关了做点小买卖不好嘛
女主太帅了，每一段抽烟的眼神太绝了。画面和结构也很美。
虽然大女主看得很爽，但脱离了现实，使得更像一部爽片，而不像现实主义电影
一位骄傲的充满魅力的坚毅女性，伟大不屈勇猛的为女性权益奋斗。了不起的传记片！黄昏在车里和情人那段暧昧又强硬的调情，看似顽皮可爱，却无声的包含了甘谷拜的委屈期待失望痛苦。比起亲密的肢体接触，抚慰心灵的秀发爱抚或许更为需要。在泥泞中绽放的玫瑰，绚烂耀眼顽强妖娆。
整个故事有各种逻辑漏洞以及不合情理之处，但由于是改编自真人真事，在历史局限性下，或许这就是真实。如果稍稍收敛批评视角，这部电影真的很好看。色彩和构图好美，把印度街景拍成了真人版《阿拉丁》，白天、黑夜、店铺、天台、凯旋游行，所有画面都太美。Gangubai和Afsaan隔空打牌真是古灵精怪，两人在马车和汽车后座也好甜（所以Gangubai后面放弃并利用男主真的太不合逻辑！
大女主电影，依然是好看

典型的好莱坞式叙事。影片的意识形态我持保留意见，接收作为妓女的事实是前提，但是接下来应该反抗，而不是将暴力合理化。大女主的叙事掩盖了残酷的底层现实。
