TWO WOMEN. BOTH DACOITS. AN INTENSE MUTUAL HA-TRED.
In the lawless ravines of Chambal, two women carved their destinies with grit, gunpowder and unrelenting ambition. Teen brides-turned-outlaws, Phoolan Devi and Kusma Nain abandoned their marriages for love and rebellion, riding into the badlands with the men they chose. At first, there was freedom. There was fire. But when rivalry reared its head, all chances of sisterhood burned to ash.
Phoolan, fierce and charismatic, reigned in Vikram Mallah s gang. Kusma, bold and sharp-eyed, arrived under Madho Mallah s protec-tion but caught Vikram s wandering gaze. What followed was a com-bustible mix of jealousy and betrayal. Kusma defected to the rival Lala Ram-Sri Ram gang and vowed revenge.
From dusty ravines to blood-soaked hideouts, Massacre Queens is a gripping saga of love, vengeance, power and the ruthless ascent of two women determined to outgun and outwit each other to become the undisputed queen of the Chambal.
Ashwini Bhatnagar is an author, documentary filmmaker, journalist and a communication strategy specialist.
His books include The Lotus Years: Political Life in India During the Time of Rajiv Gandhi, nominated for the Best Non-Fiction Book of the Year Award at the Tata Literature Live! 2020, Amrita & Victor, a book on the life of painter Amrita Sher-Gil, named Page Turner of the Year 2023 by The Telegraph, and Farooq of Kashmir, on former Chief Min-ister of J&K Dr Farooq Abdullah, which was described as the most read-able and comprehensive political history of J&K.
Ashwini s much-acclaimed documentary, Diary of a Kashmiri Pandit, anchored by actress Deepti Naval, captures the trauma of migration of the Pandits from the valley. It is currently playing on Jio Prime Movies.
