“Fire in the Mountains” opens with a perfect introduction, the kind that propels audiences into curiosity about a character they’ve only just met. We are on a country road with a breathtaking Himalayan backdrop, witnessing an urban family vacationing in the region negotiate with a sly, salesman-y guide. He insists that the family choose the homestay he represents, gradually lowering his price, but not quite to their satisfaction. Then Chandra (Vinamrata Rai) interrupts the conversation with her serene, non-pushy authority. She will gladly accept less money. Her homestay comes with a view and modern toilets. It’s also away from the bustling noisy roads, though not all that far on foot. After her skillful negotiation, we watch the petite, soft-spoken but no-nonsense woman carry the family’s heavy suitcase up a mountain trail without breaking a sweat.Fire in the Mountains 2021 Full Movie
This quietly memorable, feminist opening sequence exhibits debuting writer-director Ajitpal Singh’s evident gifts as an observant dramatist, even when his “Fire in the Mountains” feels somewhat unfinished in its complex yet abstract finale. But that his story, dedicated to a very specific type of female experience governed by patriarchy, doesn’t stick a neat landing in the end doesn’t diminish its lingering power on the whole. And this is mostly thanks to how clear-eyed Singh is about his depiction of Chandra — a determined problem-solver and often, the sound of reason — and how committed his sensational lead Rai is to the character’s even-keeled demeanor. That is, until she is forced to unleash her demons.
In that regard, Singh maintains a character-driven approach throughout “Fire in the Mountains,” juxtaposing Chandra’s priorities against that of her conservative Indian village and its unsympathetically backwards men in influential religious and legislative positions. When we gradually come to understand what she’s been juggling as a mother of a special-needs kid, a savvy businesswoman in charge of her modest family homestay Swizerland (no “t”) and the wife of her hard-drinking husband Dharam (Chandan Bisht), we feel even more in awe of her cool composure.
