Page "Provoked (film)" Paragraph 37

In the film Kiranjit Ahluwalia is portrayed as a middle class homemaker instead of a factory worker as she was in reality, Pragna Patel and Rahila Gupta's characters are merged to create one person, played by the Indian actress Nandita Das, and Americanized legal terminology rather than the actual British.

The director Jagmohan " Jag " Mundhra in his defense said " Even if you tell a true story, a true story is never really a true story.

How do you define the truth?

None of us were really there and obviously the recollections of people who were there have changed now.

Ultimately I do have to tell an engaging story.

If I can't tell an engaging story no matter what cause is at stake, nobody will see it.
