When she knocked on the door
Her make up was BEAUTIFUL
I agree she is :) I would have accepted her
Yes
Very powerful :)
I was glad to see a film that didn't contain a happy ending because those aren't always realistic.
Well done. The fear was well represented.
Why did the main character misgender her friend? They're a male in a female body. Don't call him "she".
I agree it made me so mad when they did that :(
melovegrapes It depends upon personal preferences, as well as the circumstantial evidence of the narrator not quite understanding what to do with himself or others.
Wow I saw this movie for the second time. I am so glad that you guys made this movie. I am an Indian but lived most of life in U.S. Do stay in touch. I love your project. I am now a trans activist.

I know the pain of being this way and transition is not easy but ending your life like this is not the answer!

hi kunal... thats awesome .... am gay too and would love to be friends with u man...
hii kunal..you are soo cute..sexy..and hot
Great film guys! Love that you'll are pursuing themes like this
Why is the main character not referring to Advadita using male pronouns?
Exactly!
Precisely my question!
Advita is a boy transgender as a girl. SHE is a boy in a woman's body. SHE prefers being called by female pronouns- regardless of whether or not she has a dock or not.
***** It may be confusing to some at first, but everyone has their own preferences, so if she wants to be called *she* then it's okay.
Diana Ria Avdić Wait I am confused as well not because I do not understand, I fully understand but I thought Advadita was saying they were FTM "a man trapped in the wrong body" I may have gotten lost in translation though.
This was good, but I wish they hadn't MISGENDERED ADAVITA! He was a male, not a "she"...
London Robinson Gender does not necessarily equate to pronouns. I know a trans guy who prefers they/them pronouns. It differs between people. There's also the circumstance, of the main character not quite accepting himself and thus having a hard time accepting others. I'm more worried on where the uncle was. He just disappeared.
the only thing i didnt like is at the end he/she stays a captive. and that isnt the right thing for them to do. they needed to embrace who they are and live how they want to be
I agree
That would have made for a slightly more happy ending but unfortunately this one seems more true to life. The point of the film was to point out a flaw in our society that needs to be fixed and happily ever after wouldn't have been entirely effective. I'm trans and I've come out of the closet just to go directly back in like the character in this film. It's not courageous to live a dangerous, friendless life in the open. It's better to do what you have to to get through the day. Sorry if this got a little personal and depressing but I definitely feel like this film was successful in making a statement.
+Jzmyn Stephens " It's not courageous to live a dangerous, friendless life in the open." Says you. If you're not willing to risk losing your friends, family, comfort, and safety, then you must not want to transition bad enough. I'm disowned by my family, it's extra hard for me to find employment due to transphobia, and if I didn't have a boyfriend to rely on, I'd probably be sucking various dicks for a warm bed, and a tv dinner. But I'd rather live in pure living hell as a trans woman, then have the illusion of safety and comfort that comes with living a lie.
Sorry that was poorly phrased. What i meant was more that its not the only respectable path to take. I posted that comment a while back and have since began to socially transition but to play devil's advocate for my bitter past self I still think that was a great ending because it wouldn't have made the same impact with a happy ending. Trans people aren't always superhuman and able to immediately deal with any problem that comes their way and remain true to themselves.
Sorry about your current situation and sorry for saying you weren't courageous because of it. I hope things get better for you.
Mia Honeyrose If it risks your personal safety or the safety of others it is most often advised to stay in the closet until you are safe. Safety is imperative, and some people choose or are forced to remain in the closet because of that. I have a friend who has had to go back into the closet because of un acceptance by their parents and their entire future was on the line. It is better to be in the closet now and be able to safely come out later than risk your life now and suffer because of it.
Great work people . Brilliant in every aspect . My friends here at IIT KGP loved this short film .
Cute boy!!.I watched till end because of him.
Heart touching story..... Hats off
Watching this in 2020 during lockdown only to watch Kunal ❤
Great film i was expecting a cheesy ending but HELLO PLOT TWIST
Heyyy.. Man amazing work and yes of course you are not alone we all are here..
nice job. way to go :)
Sad, and a bit disappointing because of the misgendering.
THIS IS REALLY TRUE.. THESE PEOPLES WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THEM...
Okay, neither the uncle nor the main character are referring to Advadita as a man. They say "niece" and "she." Plus, the last scene with the phone call did not have the best audio, considering that you could understand Advadita and his mother's voice perfectly, which is unrealistic. They didn't make much of an effort at all to alter their appearances when they dressed as their true gender, and in the end, Advadita wasn't even crying or anything before he shot himself, which is also kind of bizarre. He didn't even ever receive his phone back, so how could he have called the other character?! The concept of this short film is good, but the execution is not very good at all. I'm speaking from an honest point of view, and I think the script for this must have been a rough draft or only looked over by a minimum amount of inexperienced people of both film and the concept of gender identity. Sorry to break it to you, but this could have been done a lot better.
wow... great film. loved the emotion.
Rochelle David so Beautiful pics
VERY NICE..... THE GUY ACTING WELL,
A strong film!
Sexy shit. Well put movie. Amazing cinematography. Excellent direction . Perfect acting. Well done.
(Kunal, you'll remember me. I'm Alister. )

Sapphire Dutta so Beautiful pics
amazing movie!
It's very difficult to stumble upon a good Indian movie on lgbt but I loved captive....
why don't you guys make more such movies ??? Please do continue!
very nice yar,especially the accent
Atleast He is quite Handsome and capable of many abilities As compare to others . We shouldn't be feel degrated and should groom ourselves
At 30 I am still captive. I am afraid I will die like this
when are u coming with next version of this :)
KUNAL BHAN, nice acting
I got goosebumps
I can relate so much to this it hurts..
I wish the world wasn't so cruel that things like this could even happen...
Is that the Assassin's Creed Revolution theme near the ending?
amazing video but maybe a trigger warning in the tittle
Wow I am both transgender and transsexual and I have nobody who understood me when I found out that these words explained me what I was feeling then I meet mason on Instagram and me and him relate to each other we are both FTM and we both like girls
Im ftm but doesn't transgender and transexual the same?
In reply to Jules, transsexual tends to refer to someone who has fully medically transitioned.
ohhhh thanks for telling me CC Cox
CC Cox Incorrect. Surgery doesn't matter at all. Transsexual is just another way of describing someone who was designed the opposite sex of who they are.
It's so awsome that you found someone who goes through the same thing as you im happy for you. im still in the just comming out and feeling lonely stage xD haha
I am in distress literally! !!
"I am a mistake" I say that to myself every time I look at myself in the mirror.
Lol so relatable
I like this
well....this is crushing my hopes of being accepted as a women...
QnQ
MtF
Instead of killing herself she should've told her mother, "It's my Life whatever I wanna do, it's my Life where ever I wanna go, it's my life whom I wanna love! It's my life whatever I wanna talk, it's my life wherever I wanna walk, it's my life whom I wanna leave! OHHH OHHHH OHHHH OH OH OHHHH OH OH OH OHHHHH!!!
There's one problem with what ur saying there Muslim so whatever the mom says goes... There very strict people
HollywoodPrince21 I believe they're Hindi/Hindu not Muslim. They might not even be religious at all. In which case I'm not sure the proper term would be. But its not Muslim.
Most likely Hindu or Muslim maybe even Christian. Doesn't matter though, no religious doctrine supports the homosexual lifestyle.
agreed
omg this is my life how many times I have thought of doing what she did how many times
I'm so sorry. I hope you realize that there are people who will accept you. You just have to find them. Please don't give up like she did, there are so many things to live for. I wish you peace ♡

I dont think, if im gay and I should wear dress like a girl.. Gay is not mean he would act like a girl.. 😠
Good luck
I find it excruciatingly bullshit for the woman to keep calling the man "her"
valentinealtsoba pronouns are relative per person. Plus the realistic fact that the narrator was having a hard time accepting himself, and thus would have difficulty accepting others. Respect culture differences.
vvvvnice
Tell me about it !
very painful
I hate those people who react like stupid why people can't accept it???? what is everybody's problem with us... why hurt them tell me!????
😥😥😥
Even this is my story too :( :( :(
I wonder why can't gay men who are feminine, marry lesbian mascular women.
May be Making each other complete.
I feel so bad for her.
V.nice film...yes pepole not accept it..😑
I need boyish girlfrind she want me as her girlfrind
that guy looks hot and cute in his boyish image although it is not accepted by him
Being a fellow trans girl I can say its powerful, but things, like not addressing them with their pronouns or even bringing it up, made me feel uncomfy.
5:26 wooow dresss supurb
He wear chudidar
She wear t shir and jeans
mujai v asai hi kartai hai sab
mujai v sab parsan kartai
Please saport to all tha LGBT community
not very good acting wise and a bit weird at some parts but alrighty then the message was good
who d fq hates this?
He was more like a man. He shouldn't have put up woman's clothes. It looked odd on him
the misgendering is so uRgH
very emotional movie are insan bano yar jeene. do har insan ko yad. kyu gaad me danda karte unki
bullshit what a selection mother is younger than daughter haa haa
