- Title
Alternate Behaviour and Sartorial Choices: Que(e)ring Gender Norms in Deepa Mehta's Fire.
- Authors
Kaur, Chitwan
- Abstract
The article focuses on challenging gender norms in Deepa Mehta's film "Fire," examining how the characters' behaviors and sartorial choices disrupt traditional gender roles. Topics include the construction of ideal womanhood through repetition of gender roles, the influence of patriarchy, heteronormativity, and religion, and the intentional use of butch-femme performativity to challenge Bollywood's heterosexual romance conventions.
