      @@imrana2423 Agree. But law coming from the supreme authority brings the gradual change needed to the society, family and friends. perspectives and conservations can never be changed overnight, but with apex courts ruling, things are changing and are being forced to change. India is following the same time loop of the western countries of the 20th century, there it didn't happen overnight too.

I don't know whether they'd ever achieve the freedom to be who they are, but power to them for keeping their courage alive and I wish them the best to find a way out to the freedom and acceptance they deserve.
    And kudos to the movie for reflecting the real side of the hardships we LGBTQ people in South Asian societies face, and I hope one day we'd be as advanced as Canada or NZ when it comes to treating LGBTQ people with respect. 🏳️‍🌈

    I just want to say one thing living in Pakistan and having a thinking like this is incredible. The thing is that in India people are accepting it gradually but in Pakistan I don't know. A lot of LGBT members are having a tough time and I hope the Pakistani government learns something and finally accepts it as a matter of fact and allow them to happily. To me I think that the new generation in Pakistan is not homophobic but the older generation ofcourse. This society will never accept it and I know it and the other thing is that this society doesn't even accept a girl and boy's affair so how can they even accept these relationships. Even though I am not gay I still respect them and support them. It really takes a man to step up and show what they believe in.

    The expression on the face perfectly indicates the love and support needed by the people in our community but we are always been treated as a object deprived of emotions. But so is not the case.

    Woah! The film is beautiful. Even in the countries where the laws r passed ppl think of homosexuals or bisexuals as gross. Ik that not every person has this mentality but majority of ppl think like that and it's literally not right. No one can decide their sexuality but others can help them by supporting them. And in countries like Pakistan, where laws r not passes, homosexuals can't do anything but to accept what rules he society has set.

    In my opinion, it's so important that people lose their virginity with all kinds of protection. Sadly, this is nearly impossible in the kind of society we live in. Forget about homosexuality, people are not even aware of the risks associated with unprotected sex, the risk of not using lube etc. I can't stress enough as to how important it is to have sex with someone you know well, the importance of conversation, the importance of being clean of STDs, post sex clean up, condom-lube compatibility etc! So much to know before the pleasure, lest the pleasure turn into a disaster. God bless us all!
    However, this was amazing. Acting, direction, script, dialogs, music - everything was on point. Very well executed!
