Shekhar Kapur\'s 1994 film \'Bandit Queen\', starring Seema Biswas, is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. However, the film\'s release on the OTT platform has been marred by controversy, with Kapur expressing his discontent over the edited version of the film. Kapur took to social media to voice his concerns, stating that the film was cut without his permission and has been altered \"beyond recognition.\" He questioned whether such changes would be made to a Christopher Nolan film without his consent.\r\nThe film, based on the life of Phoolan Devi, had initially faced censorship challenges at the hands of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Despite premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in 1994, it was banned in India. The movie was finally released in 1996, winning the National Film Award for Best Feature in Hindi. Lead actor Biswas also won a Best Actress award for her performance. The film\'s success was not limited to India, as it also grossed handsomely across the US and Canada.\r\nThe film industry has come out in support of Kapur over the controversy surrounding the edited version of \'Bandit Queen\' on Amazon Prime Video.

However, the debate over artistic integrity and the importance of preserving a director\'s original vision will likely continue to rage on.
