'Yes Madam, Sir', a feature film based on the professional life of India's most well-known and respected female cop Kiran Bedi was screened at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival. Those who have seen it claim it is bound to ruffle feathers in Indian establishment.

 

The said documentary / feature film is made by Australian filmmaker Megan Doneman and it very nicely portrays how the colleagues of Kiran Bedi connive and hand her all punishment assignments. But to the disappointment of all, a determined and fearless Bedi converts all of them into headline-grabbing, award-winning occasions.

 

The duration of Yes Madam, Sir is 90 minutes and it uses very old footages. The documentary starts from the year 1982 with this gutsy Indian lady officer single-handedly taking on Sword-wielding Sikh agitators in Delhi and compelling them to back off. When Tim Sebastian of BBC tells that she could have been cut into pieces by the Sikh agitators, she quips: 'No, I was very focused.'

 

Megan Doneman's film shows Kiran Bedi living a professional life that is morally correct, fearless and inspiring. For this, the Australian filmmaker has shown a number of brutal assignments handled by Bedi courageously and how she turns them all into a 'mission to serve others'.
