deepa do u think india is awakening from it's sexual slumber- i mean its pretense that sex does not exist


Rohit Chopra (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:18 IST)
Ms Deepa: How many women do you think are involved in lesbianism in India. Do you seriously believe these things happen?


sri (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:19 IST)
What about directors like Mani Ratnam? Don't you think he has directed films that were very different from most Indian films? What did you think of Dil Se" ?

gaurav (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:36 IST)
those films r of a different genre jeevan


Vishaka (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:38 IST)
ms mehta: Sorry to say that. But I must tell you that mani Ratnam films are more like that of the pro-BJP types and jingoistic, isn't it?


gaurav (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:38 IST)
Deepa what inspired u to do fire? could this theme be done in the west as well? or is the subject passe there?


Prem (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:42 IST)
Ms Mehta: Why then the Indian directors didn't venture into thosee kind of films then?


Vishaka (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:43 IST)
Ms Mehta: Can you tell me what is your opinion about K ASIF. Do you think he was overrated?


gaurav (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:44 IST)
Deepa what inspired u to do fire? could this theme be done in the west as well? or is the subject passe there?


Joy (Mon Nov 16 1998 10:52 IST)

garib (Mon Nov 16 1998 11:0 IST)
Okay bye Ms Mehta...


Nahid (Mon Nov 16 1998 11:2 IST)
Ms Deepa: I want to know what makes a woman urge for lesbianism?


scooby (Mon Nov 16 1998 11:3 IST)
what did Shabana enjoy most about the flick ? Any particular scene ? Or moment?


Joy (Mon Nov 16 1998 11:4 IST)
Deepa, I totally agree with you. By labelling Fire as a lesbians' film, you can just see how narrow minded the society is. They can't accept the reality, and whoever tries to unfold it gets bashed.


Joy (Mon Nov 16 1998 11:6 IST)
Deepa, I just hope you won't get frustrated, and stop making movies like Fire. We need directors like you!! So, keep it up!!!
