Mohan, The ShivSena's attack on Fire was being
given prominent mention on NPR today, so it felt
good to turn to the Indian Express and read this:

indian-express.com

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, DEC 4:
Pulled out of cinemas in Mumbai, Pune
and even Delhi due to an outcry from
self-styled moral watchdogs, Deepa Mehta's
Fire is slowly catching on in Kerala,
with film-lovers taking the movie for
what it is - a creative work of art.

......

Significantly, there has not been even a single
murmur of protest here at the contents of the film
which have so enraged Bal Thackeray and the lot
in Mumbai. Film directors, intellectuals, women
and even students voiced their opinion against
those who have managed to keep the film out of
cinemas [in other parts of India].
