Bombay

The excellent Bombay directed by the great Tamil director Mani Ratnam, evokes the love story of a Hindu man and a Muslim woman who get married and live in Bombay. One day, Shaila becomes pregnant and gives birth to twins. The twins are raised in both religions. But on the 6th of December 1992 religious extremism launches each community against the other, causing a wave of Hindu/Muslim riots that leave hundreds dead in Bombay. The film caused a huge controversy upon release in India and abroad, for its depiction of inter-religious relations.
