India’s First Gay Film: Dunno Y Trailer

It’s a movie which goes against all odds and all norms, not to mention the least of Bollywood’s tried and tested formula of lovers - a boy and a girl dancing around the tree or some exotic location. ‘Dunno Y’ breaks all the shackles of the traditional Indian society and is a movie based on homosexual love between two males! For the first time ever Bollywood will see an all male kiss on screen in Dunno Y. The movie will release in India on 22^nd October 2010.

Dunno Y is Sanjay Sharma's directorial debut and he says his first project is not a publicity stunt but a "serious film" about an issue which saw Bollywood make fun of gay characters with 2008 release Dostana. In a series of coming of age movies in Bollywood, Dunno Y will try to emulate what Meera Nair’s ‘Fire’ and the movie ‘Girlfriend’ did. But it takes a lot more than just a ‘hot’ topic to get the Indian audience filling seats in theatres. ‘Dunno Y’ will see the yesteryears beauty Zeenat Aman make a return to big screen with a much known accomplice, the cabaret dancing sensation – Helen! The much coveted male lead roles have been taken over by Kapil Sharma and Yuvraaj Parashar. The movie also stars Kabir Bedi, Rituparna Sengupta and Aryan Vaid.

The film has been directed by Sanjay Sharma, whose brother Kapil Sharma has doubled up as the lead actor in the movie along with writing the movie himself. So much for a writer’s confidence in his character, that he has enacted the lead character himself! The movie premiered in April 2010 at India's first mainstream gay film festival, the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival. The film had its North American premiere at the ‘I View Film Festival’ in New York and also will be screened at the ‘Sydney Film Festival’ and the ‘Indian Film Festival of London’ (IFFL).

The film's music is composed by Nikhil Kamat. The theme song "Pal mein rishte badal jaate hain" is performed by Lata Mangeshkar. The film also features Zeenat Aman performing the song "Aap Jaise Koi" from her film ‘Qurbani’ and the song "Chura Liya Hai Tumne" from Yaadon Ki Baraat. Director Sanjay Sharma insists Dunno Y depicts a "normal relationship" between two men and that he was not scared to explore the subject.
