The film, adapted from Kundalkar’s own 2006 Marathi-language novel by the same name (translated into English in 2013 by Jerry Pinto), was originally slated for release by Netflix last December, only for the company to postpone it with little explanation. The shot is, regrettably, among the lighter touches in Cobalt Blue, a film that otherwise strains to convey the passion and anguish of its principal characters with clarity. That frame, in which the male protagonist, Tanay (Neelay Mehendale), drives past a wall crowded with advertisements for Mehta’s film, is a sly nod to the cinematic tradition that Kundalkar is working in: Like Fire, Cobalt Blue is a mainstream Indian film that dares to center queer lives. How appropriate, then, that the poster for Mehta’s landmark film flashes across the screen late in Sachin Kundalkar’s Cobalt Blue, a movie released by Netflix India in April that follows a brother and sister who are unknowingly romanced by the same man.
It would take the Indian Supreme Court two more decades after Fire’s release to declare Section 377 unconstitutional. Its spotlight on queer, female desire was an artistic risk in an era when the country still criminalized gay and lesbian sex under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which had been in place since 1861. Fire details a romance that blossoms between two women who are held captive in oppressive marriages to men.
We make completing any Filem Biru simpler.When director Deepa Mehta’s film Fire first hit theaters across India in 1998, it awakened the ire of the country’s right-wing fundamentalists, triggering violent protests.
