we simply must not overlook kaminey when talking about queer bollywood bc charlie and mikhail were so visibly attracted to each other!! and not just that but chandan roy sanyal (who played mikhail) had said that queer interpretations are welcome since there's a huge lack of queer rep in bollywood
Gotta be honest I haven't watched Kaminey...
Anybody who watched it???? Opinions?
No but when Kumaar wrote "uljhe lattien suljhayien, yuh na humein aise tadpayien" and Gulzaar wrote "ek latt suljhane mein, puri raat guzari hai" did they know how they played with my heart?
Aaye Aajaye Aa Hi Jaiye, Lajja, 2001 and Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki hai, Kaminey, 2009
yes i know lgbt representation in bollywood is important and we need more of smzs and elkdtal but what’s gonna stop me from headcannoning characters from other movies as lgbt?
sonu from sonu ke titu ki sweety? bi
hunny from fukrey? bi
alizeh from ae dil hai mushkil? bi
charlie and mikhail from kaminey? gay
aman from kal ho naa ho? bi
farhan from 3 idiots? gay
shraddha kapoor from stree? lesbian
no one’s gonna stop me.
