one of best movie ever . fire . it be not much about sociological description of india today . it be the mind blowing use of light that never stop and never becomes . normal . even when . in this sense the movie be almost unique . both lead be of very good quality . the origin of da a a street performer be pretty obvious . her performance be a superb cammeo . but the use of the light . i have look at it and look at it and again and again . still mind blow after age . nothing torrid in the story . rather pure way of face the subject . in a way it be sad that in the bizarre world we live today and a major art work be usually know a a gender film . fire can stand face to face with dryer jeanne d arc or ichikawa biruma no tategoto or some of the major kurosawa movie and just to name some . wish my input could help a little this movie to it deserved way to fame .
