Yesterday I completed my three consecutive Saturday viewings of Deepa Mehta's trilogy (Fire, Earth, Water). It is a beautiful series. The music and cinematography are excellent. The stories are nuanced and interesting. They are definitely worth seeing, especially in the movie theatre. (The opening credits for Earth were impressive on the big screen.)
If you want to see more films that have a wonderful humanity and awareness, though very different, Mira Nair is another great filmmaker, also born in India. I've seen at least three films by her, though none more recent than Monsoon Wedding, and she often addresses personal desires and familial/cultural expectations through interesting stories.
