377 criminalised consensual non-vaginal sexual acts between adults, it violated an individual's fundamental rights to equality before the law, freedom from discrimination and to life and personal liberty under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution of India. 377 of the IPC as being unconstitutional. On 2 July 2009, in the case of Naz Foundation v National Capital Territory of Delhi, the High Court of Delhi struck down much of S. It took years, but finally, the law was repealed: In December 2002, the fight began to overturn completely Section 377, which is a law that prohibits homosexuality in India. With the legalization of homosexuality, more and more cities held pride parades drawing thousands of people, and in 2010, the first GBLT film festival held in mainstream multiplex theatres, Kashish Mumbai Queer Film Festival, was held in Mumbai. Shortly after, India's first gay magazine, Bombay Dost was relaunched in Mumbai. In 2009, the Delhi High Court overturned laws that made homosexuality illegal and the gay online paper, Pink Times was launched as a celebration of the legalization of homosexuality. The political background to this film is heated – since 2008, there have been Pride Parades in India, in cities such as Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore. Surely, there could have been a bolder climax if the film wanted to lift the taboo from this bond. There is a degree of sensitivity while tackling the homosexual relationship, nevertheless the drama lacks punch and the conclusion becomes self-defeatist. The review by the "Times…" is fairly lukewarm, but what stuck out for me was the closing lines: On the one hand, there is family pressure and on the other there is social derision which forces this gay couple to remain in the closet and hope for a new, more liberal world order. The film traces the relationship between two young men who do fall in love but fail to find a conducive atmosphere to freely express it. The "Times of India" newspaper describes the story as: The film is directed by Sanjay Sharma and stars his brother, Kapil Sharma and Yuvraaj Parashar. It turns out that yes, Bollywood has a handful of gay themed films, but the most controversial in India is a 2010 film called Dunno Y … Na Jaane Kyon (English: Don't Know Why). So SBS were airing Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi on the weekend, one of my favourite Shahrukh Khan films, and I was watching it for the umpteenth time, when, during SRK's straight-laced character pretending to be the uber cool Raj Kapoor character, I wondered, has Bollywood ever done any gay romance? After all, China, South Korea and Japan have, but what about Bollywood? And Japanese horror, which turns me into a gibbering, terrified mess.
It's getting to the point now that I think I've seen every film SBS has the rights to air – not just from Bollywood, but Indian cinema as a whole, Chinese cinema and South Korean cinema.

More Bollywood films for me, I said, and when Australian multicultural TV channel, SBS, played Bollywood films, I watched them all. Devdas also, much to my amazement and horror, because I was really rooting for the two characters to have their happily ever after, had a terribly tragic ending. That film was Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai's Devdas, and I realized that Bollywood wasn't just musicals (which is why I'd been wrinkling my nose – I'm not a fan of musicals!), it was costumes, story, plot twists, highs and lows, and touched on subjects such as prostitution, alcoholism, disinheritance and arranged marriages and many more.

No one was more surprised than me when I watched a Bollywood movie after years of wrinkling my nose at them and discovering how much I loved it.

Lighter action fare, such as the Dhoom series of films, also have a romance subplot that blossoms into part of the main plot, and, of course, the song-and-dance routine.

Such films as Don 2 or Ghajini, while full of violence and action, also have a romantic subplot and at least one song-and-dance number. The common denominator in these films is, of course, the music, and the romance. In recent years, it's evolved into many genres beyond romance, such as crime, action, gritty realism, and now into GBLT film. When people think of Bollywood cinema, they tend to think of lavish musical productions with singing and dancing and women in brightly coloured saris, doing big group dance numbers.īollywood is a bit more than just the above simple description. As part of YAM Magazine's GBLT blogathon week, I wrote this post about GBLT film in the largest filmmaking industry in the world: Bollywood.
