Billi

Billi is a 2000 Pakistani Urdu film directed by Syed Noor starring Meera. Noor and Saima. This horror film is supposedly based on a true story about a victim turning into a scum-busting avenger.

Plot

The film opens with a scene where fiery criminal lawyer Meera is being gang-raped to put a rapist behind bars, but the judge rules against her. Though the rapist walks free, is there a power who can save him from the justice of the “Billi” — a shadowy figure dressed in a black cat-suit who has taken to the streets at night rounding up all scum and sleaze and dishing out her own brand of justice to chilling effect.

There is an earnest police office (Uthba) determined to nab the cat but he does not appear to be making much headway as this cat appears to have at least nine lives. In her brutal quest for justice, she does not even spare the lawyer representing the rapist who was basically just doing his job. She corners him one dark, stormy night and cuts off his tongue so that he can never twist a case to his benefit as he had done with the rape case. Uthba tries to marry Meera but she manages to castrate him and leaves him in darkness.

Billi 99

Billi 99 is a four-issue comic book limited series published by Dark Horse Comics in 1991, which was later reprinted in 2002. It was written by Sarah Byam and illustrated by Tim Sale. It is among Tim Sale's earliest published work.

The tag line for Billi 99, as seen in comic ads in Fall 1991, reads, "It's 1999... Do You Know Where Your Civil Rights Are? Billi 99 A Prayer in Four Parts". The story was inspired by Byam's experiences in Detroit in the 1980s, a love of the heroic stories and pessimism over the reactionary political movements of the time.

A second collected edition was recently reprinted and sold in English, Spanish, and Italian; and distributed throughout Europe, the U.S., and Canada.
