A participant in her changing sexual discernment, Amar leads a life far removed from the one that Manasi is coerced into and entrapped by. Balancing parallel lives, Manasi submerges into the abyss of guilt until she finds herself exposed by Amita, one of Amar's students. Together they plan a confession by innuendo.

FIRE (English) - $26.95
Shabana Azmi, Nandita Das, Kulbushan Kharbanda, Jaaved Jaferi Banned in India, this 1996 film by Deepa Mehta powerfully demonstrates the struggle of two women in love in a culture so deeply entrenched in ritual and tradition. All this against a backdrop of an India which itself is struggling for freedom from these same values. This film is both political and personal and never too preachy or idealistic on either front. It is easy to see why "Fire" has caused riots in India, but tragic nonetheless. A true film such as this one deserves to be seen by all people of the world, not just privileged westerners.

KAMLA* Shabana Azmi, Dipti Nawal, Marc Zuber, Mazhar Khan Newspaper reporter Jai Singh Jadhav (Marc Zuber) is in search of a sensational scoop to buck his sagging career. He goes to a remote village and “purchases” a tribal girl called Kamla (Deepti Naval), planning to present her at a press conference as evidence of the existence of the flesh-market and slave trading in modern India. Jai Singh's wife Sarita (Shabana Azmi) draws parallels between her own life and that of Kamla’s and that her own status in her house is nothing more than that of a slave. Sarita's conscience revolts at the indifferent and callous attitude of her husband, whom she now sees as a chauvinist and opportunist. Kamla's story becomes a political embarrassment for the powers that be. Jai Singh is sacked from his job and his story is made out to be a hoax. He comes to realise that he is also a ''Kamla'' - a metaphor for exploitation. This powerful offbeat film, based on a true-life incident, is directed by Jagmohan Mundhra and became very controversial on its release, as several political groups and women’s groups protested against the theme and its treatment. Shabana Azmi and Deepti Naval put in powerful performances and the film has music composed by Bappi Lahiri.
