Film Review: FIRE

New bride (Das) enters household already containing husband’s aged mother, elder brother & wife (Kharbanda+Azmi), & longtime servant (Chowdhry). Both arranged marriages are fragile, & the sisters-in-law turn to each other for ever-deepening, eventually-sexual companionship. Closely-observed exploration of “ordinary” middle-class Indian women confronting tension between traditional expectations & contemporary options. More on FIRE.
