簡介： 由加籍印裔女導演迪帕．梅塔執導，曾獲芝加哥國際影展獎。因內容表現在打破傳統的 “性禁錮方面，所以公映時竟觸發狂潮，成為眾矢之的，導演本人亦遭受恐嚇。劇情介紹新德里一個年輕美貌姑娘嫁入中產店主家庭后，因丈夫沉緬于香港功夫，并迷戀于中國艷女而受到冷落。而不育的大嫂亦因丈夫參與 “靈修倍感寂寞，兩人同病相憐遂成閨中好友，并發展成床上鴛鴦。后來東窗事發，迫使兩人離家出走。該片在印度來講，內容較為惹火，但比起香港片，似乎仍顯平談，而且劇情頗為噱頭，算不上佳作。不過對女性情欲描寫極為細致，有一定的文藝劇情趣味。該片還入選香港 “印度多面睇十大印度影片?！　shok (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) runs a family business that sells takeout food and which also has a video rental store at the side. Ashok's extended family includes his wife Radha (Shabana Azmi), his brother Jatin (Javed Jaffrey), their ailing mother Biji (Kushal Rekhi) and their manservant Mundu (Ranjit Chowdhry), all living under the same roof. Jatin, at the insistence of Ashok and their mother, Biji, agrees to marry the beautiful Sita (Nandita Das) in an arranged marriage, although he is actually in love with Julie (Alice Poon), a Chinese-Indian. At first glance, you see a happy middle-class family going through the normal paces of everyday life. However, as the layers are slowly peeled back, we find a simmering cauldron of discontent within the family, with almost every family member living a lie. Both marriages in the family turn out to be emotionally empty, without love or passion. While Ashok is an ascetic who has taken a vow of celibacy, Jatin is a handsome ladies' man who is still openly seeing Julie even after his marriage to Sita. Ashok has pledged his total devotion to a religious holy man, a swami, in order to purge his life of worldly desires and temptations. Radha, bound by her sense of duty to her husband, agrees to go along with his wishes. As you can imagine, with both husbands ignoring their spouses' emotional and sexual needs (albeit with reasons that are totally opposite from each other), it is only a matter of time before Radha and Sita look to one another for comfort and to satisfy their own passions. In this environment, it is only natural that Sita and Radha become fast friends, and, in time, much more than that. But their love is not without its share of painful obstacles. 詳情
