《愛火》是由迪帕,梅塔,(Deepa,Mehta)執(zhí)導，迪帕·梅塔編劇，Shabana,Azmi,Nandi等明星主演的劇情,電影。

由加籍印裔女導演迪帕．梅塔執(zhí)導，曾獲芝加哥國際影展獎。因內容表現(xiàn)在打破傳統(tǒng)的“性禁錮"方面，所以公映時竟觸發(fā)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(fā)展成床上鴛鴦。后來東窗事發(fā)，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。　　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.
