Indian movie on lesbians to return to theatres in Bombay

   NEW DELHI, Feb 23 (AFP) - An Indian movie that enraged Hindu  
zealots because of its lesbian content will again be screened in 
theatres in Bombay from Friday, it was announced Tuesday. 
   Narayan Rane, chief minister of the western state of  
Maharashtra, said theatres showing "Fire" would get police 
protection if necessary. 
   The widely-acclaimed movie was taken off theatres in New Delhi  
and Bombay after it sparked violent attacks on cinemas in December 
from Hindu fanatics. The violence in turn led to counter-protests. 
   Indian authorities later sent the movie for a review to the  
government-appointed censor board, which this month cleared it for 
public viewing without any cuts. 
   The attacks on theatres were blamed on the Hindu militant Shiv  
Sena party that rules Bombay, capital of Maharashtra state. Bombay 
is also the country's movie capital. 
   "We will not allow recurrence of earlier incidents," the Press  
Trust of India quoted chief minister Rane as saying. He said 
authorities would ensure "trouble-free screening" of the movie. 
   "Fire" recounts an affair between two married sisters-in-law.
