this be a great film in every sense of the word . it tackle the subject of tribadism in a society that be quite intolerant of any deviation from the norm . it criticise a great many indian custom that many find oppressive such a the arranging of marriage by others and the importance of status and face and religious hypocrisy and sexism and the valuation of woman in term of their baby making capacity and the binding concept of duty and so on . at the heart of the film be a touching love story that go beyond such limitation of the society which the two protagonist find themselves . the film be well act and genuine and completely believable from begin to end and unlike most bollywood flick . the main fault of the film a i saw it be first and that the two lover seem draw to one another not necessarily by a natural affinity for each other as much a the fact that they be stick in dead end marriage with no passion and no reward . this may play a part in the sexual awakening of the character and but most people stick in the same situation will not turn homosexual . it seem clear from the beginning of the film that the two character be quite heterosexual when radha do her scene at the end of the movie with aashok and she make it quite clear that without desire she be dead and and the implication be that if he have desire so and he could have fulfil her quite completely and and also when sita seem very disappointed when her husband seem to not like her . such situation do not turn people into homosexual they may seek comfort in others in the same position and but inthe film it be not at all make clear that they be lesbian from the begin quite the opposite . some people be bisexual and it be true and but most tend to be either hetero or homosexual . in the case of the lady in the film and both have insensitive jerk for husband . . . if this have not be the case and would they have naturally find the need to express their desire in a relationship that they may have otherwise not have consider . the film ignore this . the other fault be the naming of the character . . . the name sita and radha seem contrive deliberately to shock and outrage ( imagine a film in america depict a gay relationship between a man name jesus and another name paul . ) by use name associate with various hindoo scripture . the film be strong enough to stand on it own and need no such device in my opinion . at any rate and the fault do not take much away from the power of the movie . it be indeed a very touching and powerful story the image and character will stay with you a long time after you leave the theatre .
