简介：由加籍印裔女导演迪帕．梅塔执导，曾获芝加哥世界影展奖。因内容体现在打破传统的 “性禁闭方面，所以公映时竟触发狂潮，成为众矢之的，导演自己亦遭受恫吓。剧情介绍新德里一个年轻美貌姑娘嫁入中产店东家庭后，因老公沉缅于香港功夫，并沉迷于我国艳女而遭到萧瑟。而不育的大嫂亦因老公参加 “灵修倍感孤寂，两人同病相怜遂成闺中老友，并开展成床上鸳鸯。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，好像仍显平谈，并且剧情较为噱头，算不上佳作。不过对女人情欲描绘极为详尽，有必定的文艺剧情兴趣。该片还当选香港 “印度多面睇十大印度影片。　　Ashok (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.。
