Inspired by the events surrounding the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Ghandi, "The Terrorist" focuses on the making of a suicide bomber marching toward the end of her life. Malli’s mission to assassinate a political leader becomes complicated upon discovering she is expecting a child.

Indian cinematographer Santosh Sivan (director of "Asoka") made his directorial debut with this visually stunning feature, which so affected John Malkovich that he personally made sure it got a U.S. release.


Malli (Ayesha Dharker - "Star Wars: Episode 2", "City Of Joy", "The Mystic Masseur"), a 19-year-old Sri Lankan, lives with a small community of guerrilla fighters in the South Indian jungles. Their enigmatic leader promotes terrorism for political gain and everyone is expected to be committed to the cause. When an important Indian politician plans a visit to a neighboring town, Malli is overjoyed to be hand-picked for a suicide mission; her own brother died for the cause and she believes it will bring great honor to his revered name.

Embarking on her two-day journey through the jungle, she encounters allies and enemies, and begins to have doubts. During her training she stays with an unsuspecting farmer and his wife, an old couple she grows close to, and with them finds time to contemplate her actions. With the day of the assassination dawning, she prepares for her ultimate sacrifice. With memories of true love and life's greater meaning haunting her, her moral dilemma increases.

"The film is not about Rajiv's assassination. It is an attempt to explore the mind of a suicide bomber," says Sivan, adding, "I deliberately kept out everything else, including the politics of terrorism."
