The film presents us with a presupposition, and we accept it, as we’d have in any other credible story.įurther, the film doesn’t make a big deal about it. Kartik does wear a nose-ring, but he isn’t seen through the lens of ‘quirky’ or ‘different’.

Why can’t that be true for others? If there were no ‘normal’, then there wouldn’t be any aberrant, either. Or anything else that signals ‘important’, that justifies: “We made a movie about homosexual(s) because…”īut heteronormative people don’t need a reason they simply exist. In most Bollywood films, this would have required an explanation or qualification, either about the characters or the story. Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is a love story – a love story of two men.
