'Why are romantic comedies always about handsome men and beautiful women? What about ordinary people like us?' ask butch Hainan and feminine guy Teochew in this heartwarming comedy as they negotiate their lives in the face of social mockery, familial pressure and the ghosts of the past. Filled with slapstick moments, great entertainment and visual gorgeousness, the film never loses sight of the fact that these are real people with real feelings - even if they are a 'manly' woman and a 'womanly' man!

About Nigah

Nigah is a non-funded queer collective that works on issues of gender and sexuality. Apart from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, we understand queer to be any identity, politics or process that challenges dominant norms. Based in Delhi since 2003, we try to create inclusive and safe queer spaces using media, workshops and discussions. We organise events each month and entry to all the events is free.
