Victim of violence

                        Raveena Tandon's getting ready for her next test at the turnstiles.
                        Daman, a tour de force on marital rape and oppression of women is
                        going o be her next outing. Raveena, we hear, plays the protagonist, or
                        the victim, shall we say, in the heartrending tale of domestic violence,
                        directed by Kalpana Lajmi.

                        Sayaji Shinde plays Raveena's sexual sadist husband in the tale that
                        also features the likes of Sanjay Suri, Raima Sen and pop-throb,
                        Shaan. While Raima and Shaan provide the viewpoints of the sensitive
                        male on the issue. The film, which underlines the mindset of
                        middle-class women trapped in unhappy marriages, has been complete
                        in two schedule at Guwahati and Amsui in Assam.

                        The grapevine has it that Raveena has yet another role in the offing
                        that borders on sexual violence - the upcoming Aks, we're told has her
                        in a stripping scene. Women activists are reportedly calling for a
                        boycott of the film, even before they've confirmed whether the
                        offending scene is indeed a part of it. Activism, don't forget, doesn't
                        need valid reasons. Not in India, at any rate.
