Fire

Fire is the first ‘Elements Trilogy’ by Deepa Mehta starring Shabana Azmi and Nanditha Das, which took inspiration from Ismat Chugtai’s ‘Lihaf’. This 1996 picture is one of the first ever Indian movies, which boldly discussed the topic of homosexual relations and following its release in India in 1998 there were protests by various organizations in the country.
