The exquisitely tender feature debut from Rohan Kanawade is a watershed event in Indian cinema: a compassionate vision of queer romance fighting to blossom amid the forces of tradition, class prejudice, and deep-seated cultural repression. Following the death of his father, thirtysomething Anand (Bhushaan Manoj) is compelled to return from Mumbai for a ten-day mourning period in his hometown in the rugged countryside of western India. There, he reconnects with Balya (Suraaj Suman), a farmer and childhood friend with whom he once shared an unspoken connection. As a budding love story plays out in moments of beautifully observed intimacy, Anand must decide the fate of a relationship born under duress.
