10. Fire
Directed by Deepa Mehta, Fire is the first movie in the renowned Deepa Mehta’s Elements Trilogy; the story is loosely based on the Ismat Chughtai story A Quilt (Lihaaf) and has two of the prominent Indian actresses in its lead role, Shabana Aazmi and Nandita Das. The movie is based on a middle class Indian joint family where both Aazmi and Das are married to two brothers of the family. Sita (Nandita Das) longs for her husband and attention, which she is unable to receive and feels lonely and desolate; as the film progresses, it is revealed that Aazmi is experiencing the same fate as both the men are busy in doing business. In such moments of solitude both the women become lovers and seek solace in each other’s company; at the end they leave their husbands and unite with each other. The movie was condemned by the social circles of India as it is the country where family system has strong roots and, much or less, many of the women lead the same life of isolation. Mehta’s movie has uncovered a corner of a usual Indian household, which is not acceptable in the conservative eastern society. People believed the film to be a source of corruption for women as its one of the few movies that has openly portrayed the theme of homosexuality. The director received verbal threats and had lived under complete police protection for a long time as the people attempted to attack her.
