1996加拿大电影《爱火》剧情；由加籍印裔女导演迪帕．梅塔执导，曾获芝加哥国际影展奖因内容表现在打破传统的 “性禁锢方面，所以公映时竟触发狂潮，成为众矢之的，导演本人亦遭受恐吓。剧情介绍新德里一个年轻美貌姑娘嫁入中产店主家庭后，因丈夫沉缅于香港功夫，并迷恋于中国艳女而受到冷落。而不育的大嫂亦因丈夫参与 “灵修倍感寂寞，两人同病相怜遂成闺中好友，并发展成床上鸳鸯。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，似乎仍显平谈，而且剧情颇为噱头，算不上佳作。不过对女性情欲描写极为细致，有一定的文艺剧情趣味。该片还入选香港 “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.
爱火经典影评； 两个月前在手机上看的这部电影，当我看到梁朝伟个吴亦凡的第一场对手戏，一见面莫名其妙用了各种语言尬聊？？？这一段的意义在哪里？？显摆一下吴亦凡的多语种能力？？？看得我尴尬症都犯了，当时就关了，第二天又想了想，不行，梁朝伟是我男神啊，我怎么能不看他的电影呢？然后就又看了十分钟，忍不了又关了，就这样，这一部电影我断断续续地看了几天，现在依然没有看完，也完全不想看下去了……梁朝伟啊，你简直是在消耗我对你的包容度……
留守在家的女人高谈着男人女人魔鬼天使和婚姻，用一种一切安好的态度劝督爷不是他杀的人，无法理解两个受伤男人之间感情的羁绊
狗血的科幻喜剧，还是不错的爆米花电影
