For the records, the movie was based on the real life story of the woman and she still says in the UK with her two sons, Her name is Kiranjit Ahluwalia, she is a Punjab woman. And here is the link so you can read the rest of the story and know that it is REAL LIFE as well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiranjit_Ahluwalia

Recently watched a movie of a woman in the United Kingdom that was being physically abused by her husband (she isnt British some kind  of Indian not exactly sure which now. But I know it starts with a P), one night her husband beat her so mercilessly and later that night while he was sleeping she tried to teach him a lesson. This ultimately led to his death, she was charged and convicted for murder. However, women activists stood up and started a protest and she was released. I dont think madam Halidu in this case intended to kill her husband and she definitely doesnt deserve to be killed. May God have mercy on us all and save us women from the clutches of bullish and abusive men
