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. But he does a disastrous job with its execution.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. Overall, Sharma deserves a special mention for attempting to create a film such as Dunno Y. I had to wrack my brain when writing the synopsis. For starters, the film has no head or tail with regards to its plot. The film jumps a decade ahead and ends on a rather eerie note with a dead Ashley, a widowed Jenny, Aryan becoming an actor and Rebecca’s husband returning to her life. They decide to part ways after Ashley refuses to openly accept his sexual orientation. As for Ashley, he meets Aryan ( Kapil Sharma), a homosexual prostitute, with whom he falls in love.
However, to Jenny’s luck, it is her brother-in-law who comes to her rescue as he expresses his love for her. His marriage to Jenny ( Rituparna Sengupta) is on the rocks and the family soon realizes Ashley is in fact, gay. Her son Ashley ( Yuvraaj Parashar), however, is the source of her tension. With three children to care for, Rebecca finds herself having to fend for her family. Her house is run by her daughter-in-law Rebecca ( Zeenat Aman) whose has been abandoned years ago by her husband Peter ( Kabir Bedi). And when the likes of Helen, Zeenat Aman and Kabir Bedi feel the need to be in such a film, then you know the film possesses something…dunno what, but something.ĭunno Y…Na Jaane Kyun opens up in an orthodox Catholic household where the head of the household and mother is Margaret ( Helen). In fact, at this point, the Indian society is dire need of awareness with regards to the gay community. Needless to say, the director is hell bent on deeming the film as “path breaking” but this isn’t necessary. So when Sanjay Sharma, director of Dunno Y…Na Jaane Kyun, comes out with a film that depicts the love story of two men, it’s almost by default that critics feel the need to compare it to the only popular gay film. The west is more accepting of the gay lifestyle while India still chooses to believe that being “gay” is somewhat of a disease. The homosexual community in India is only now finding its standing in society while in the U.S., they are hardly ever discriminated. For starters, the cultures are poles apart. And there are a number of reasons for this. It wouldn’t be fair to compare Dunno Y…Na Jaane Kyun to the Hollywood Brokeback Mountain.
