Product Description

 
Sita and Radha are young Indian women whose husbands choose celibacy or mistresses over their wives. The two women become friends and grow closer together, forming a forbidden but liberating relationship. A lush, passionate story of emancipation and love, in a closed society. Major controversy led this movie to be widely attacked and banned in India.

Fire - Yes! This movie is hot in more ways than one.

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a niche movie. It's fabulous, but it's one for thinking and not just soaking up.
Review: This movie stirred up a stink in India. They even included some theatre trashing scenes on the DVD where at least one woman and a good number of men went ballistic on the movie posters and the windows. A theater owner discussed the problems with...

This is not the India I know

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2000
Review: Deepa Mehta needs to touch base with reality. I too am an Indian living in the USA; I too look at India from an outsider's perspective, yet I do not portray my country as being a country of lesbians and servants who abuse their powers in very wrong...

Deepa Mehta's Fire Blazes Brilliantly

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Fire is a film that manages to bring several different observations out into the open ? the least of which is about lesbianism.
Review: Fire has stuck with me for many years now. It isn't a film for everyone and it isn't a film that everyone will agree on ((Controversy: Firestorm) a documentary included on the DVD will prove that). It is a film, however, that manages to bring...
