A Punjabi girl getting tricked into living with a big time pimp who abducts virgins and forces them to submit to his hymen busting ways.

Synopsis
Jaw droppingly insane this is the sort of film that they never made in the US which means it has to come from tsomewhere else- or in this case the Philippines. Wild wanton and wacky this is the sort of wonderful bait a switch "I can't believe I'm watching this sort of movie".
Far from the best film in the world its the sort of thing that forces you to admit you've seen something. Its the weird and wild stream of films like this that kept people going back to the grindhouse week after week. Worth a look for those who want to see what a real grindhouse film is like (as opposed to the Tarantino/Rodriguez versions) If you like the weird and the off beat you must see this film.
Why Cult
Expect classic genre tropes: forced captivity, sadistic guards, and a hard-fought bid for freedom, all cranked to eleven.
Made far from Hollywood, this film piles on violence, sex, and revenge, showing a flavor of exploitation cinema rarely seen in the West.
From brutal catfights to a climactic gun battle, the action comes thick, fast, and utterly unhinged.
Just when you think you've settled into the story, the film veers into even wilder territory, keeping viewers guessing at every turn.
