Recently I watched the 2006 Telugu movie 'Kamli'. I liked the movie very much especially for its story telling and its excellent climax.
The film is directed by K.N.T. Sastry. Nandita Das was in the titile role of a Lambada girl. The film was showcased at the Busan International Film Festival in Korea and the Asian Film Festival in Mumbai.
Awards:
National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu
Nandi Award for Best actress
Wikipedia writes : Kamli was actually inspired by a K.N.T. Sastry's award winning documentary harvesting babies. K.N.T. Sastry wanted to make a feature film based on the documentary about the plight of tribal women selling their babies for a pittance. He actually contacted and wanted to make film with Soundarya as the main female lead of Kamli, but she died in a helicopter crash, and finally made the film with Nandita Das.
