OMG same here. Aligarh was class apart❤️

Even Kapoor and Sons handled the homosexuality angle very well. Bold, intelligent and warm.

Oh, I forgot Kapoor and Sons. I agree on that too.

Aligarh's best part was that instead of being dogged by the question of visibility or assimilation within the mainstream film framework, the makers just went ahead and made a film that was all heart❤️

I love that movie❤️

However, I feel the main theme there was not queerness but dysfunctionality of the family--the queerness just is a sub-plot. I wanted to compare these 2 movies, whose main subject was homosexuality in a mainstream format.

I know but I loved the way they handled the subject..I was sceptical that dharma will make a mockery of it like dostana
