由加籍印裔女导演迪帕.梅塔执导,曾获芝加哥国际影展奖。因内容表现在打破传统的“性禁锢"方面,所以公映时竟触发狂潮,成为众矢之的,导演本人亦遭受恐吓。剧情介绍新德里一个年轻美貌姑娘嫁入中产店主家庭后,因丈夫沉缅于香港功夫,并迷恋于中国艳女而受到冷落。而不育的大嫂亦因丈夫参与“灵修"倍感寂寞,两人同病相怜遂成闺中好友,并发展成床上鸳鸯。后来东窗事发,迫使两人离家出走。该片在印度来讲,内容较为惹火,但比起香港片,似乎仍显平谈,而且剧情颇为噱头,算不上佳作。不过对女性情欲描写极为细致,有一定的文艺剧情趣味。该片还入选香港“印度多面睇"十大印度影片eee Ashok(KulbhushanKharbanda)runsafamilybusinessthatsellstakeoutfoodandwhichalsohasavideorentalstoreattheside.Ashok'sextendedfamilyincludeshiswifeRadha(ShabanaAzmi),hisbrotherJatin(JavedJaffrey),theirailingmotherBiji(KushalRekhi)andtheirmanservantMundu(RanjitChowdhry),alllivingunderthesameroof.Jatin,attheinsistenceofAshokandtheirmother,Biji,agreestomarrythebeautifulSita(NanditaDas)inanarrangedmarriage,althoughheisactuallyinlovewithJulie(AlicePoon),aChinese-Indian.Atfirstglance,youseeahappymiddle-classfamilygoingthroughthenormalpacesofeverydaylife.However,asthelayersareslowlypeeledback,wefindasimmeringcauldronofdiscontentwithinthefamily,withalmosteveryfamilymemberlivingalie.Bothmarriagesinthefamilyturnouttobeemotionallyempty,withoutloveorpassion.WhileAshokisanasceticwhohastakenavowofcelibacy,Jatinisahandsomeladies'manwhoisstillopenlyseeingJulieevenafterhismarriagetoSita.Ashokhaspledgedhistotaldevotiontoareligiousholyman,aswami,inordertopurgehislifeofworldlydesiresandtemptations.Radha,boundbyhersenseofdutytoherhusband,agreestogoalongwithhiswishes.Asyoucanimagine,withbothhusbandsignoringtheirspouses'emotionalandsexualneeds(albeitwithreasonsthataretotallyoppositefromeachother),itisonlyamatteroftimebeforeRadhaandSitalooktooneanotherforcomfortandtosatisfytheirownpassions.Inthisenvironment,itisonlynaturalthatSitaandRadhabecomefastfriends,and,intime,muchmorethanthat.Buttheirloveisnotwithoutitsshareofpainfulobstacles.
