Taliban! the musical

Bollywood star Manisha Koirala stars in a new Indian musical about the Taliban's Afghanistan (directed by Ujjal Chattopadhyaya). The movie's based on the life of Sushmita Bandhopadhya (who wrote the original script), a Hindu pharmacist who moved to Afghanistan to live w/ her new husband. She was repeatedly harassed and beaten, and eventually sentenced to death for refusing to convert to Islam. If you like Bollywood films (nickname for the Indian film industry), you might want to check out Escape from Taliban (the movie's actual title). There's sure to be lots of outrageously overdramatic dancing and singing. A 9/11 movie is also in the works.
