Copyright ? 1999 Shringar Films. All rights reserved.One of Indian director Santosh Sivan's breakthrough movies, also known as Theeviravaathi, the film focuses on a young girl, Malli, who's life has a brutal inevitability about it. Deeply affected by the death of her brother at a young age, she decides to follow his example and joins the terrorist organisation...for the cause..
She learns at an early age to supress her feelings so that only the cause of her people has meaning. In a life where death is constant, each frail human contact, each fragile touch, is ruthlessly destroyed. Malli moulds herself into a thing that mechanically carries out the orders of the organisation. She feels intense pride when she is chosen over others for the grotesque honor of being a suicide bomber, and die a martyr...But as she awaits death with the certainty of someone about to catch a train, her long denied inner self makes itself felt and unknown emotions swamp her being. Set in a violent world, The Terrorist is the exploration of the complex life of a nineteen year old girl who clads herself in a seemingly invincible armour, only to discover that she is as vulnerable as the rainbow caught in an iridescent bubble.
