HINDI FILMS BASED ON SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS

BADHAAI DO Badhaai Do has a ball from start to finish where two queer people find it tough to win the love of their lives

PINE CONE Onir's film is a heartfelt take on same-sex relationships that steers clear of screech and sacchirine sentiments

MY BROTHER NIKHIL Onir's film again. A film that manages to stand the test of time purely for its remarkable quality

NEEYAT In this thriller, Vidya Balan played a queer who avenges her lover's death

KHUFIYA Tabu can’t do no wrong, at least with Vishal Bhardwaj. Here, she plays an officer on duty who has a life of her own

KAPOOR AND SONS Dostana mocked same-sex relationships, Kapoor and Sons respected it. Fawad Khan’s closeted romance is treated as a terrific cliffhanger

FIRE Deepa Mehta’s film is much more than just about a homosexual relationship. It tackles the theme of loneliness and longing, solace and sexual intimacy

FAME GAME We are exploring homosexuality on OTT too. Here, in the series that’s streaming on Netflix, Madhuri Dixit’s son is a queer and he comes to terms with his reality
