Can't believe I just watched a Bengali movie where a gay man and a woman settled together in what essentially boils down to a queerplatonic marriage
What a world.
#i mean like
#the movie wasn't *about* them
#it wasn't like 'omg massive groundbreaking moment for queer rep in indian movies'
#the movie was mostly about the girl's elderly parents and also their family as a whole
#but there was this amazing scene where the girl and her dad were talking and he asked her when she and her husband were having a baby
#as indian parents do
#and she told him never and that her husband is gay
#and that she didn't know until after marriage because his parents had forced him into an arranged heterosexual marriage
#and her father said - well you two should get divorced immediately because then you'll both be free
#and she was like
#actually no.
#(the following is translated and paraphrased and not as poetic as it was in the movie.)
#is marriage only good for one thing? for romance and children?
#we make eachother happy. there are no lies between us. we live together and take care of one another.
#ive had plenty of relationships during our marriage. he's had a boyfriend. even so we've decided to stay with eachother.
#and she like talked about how their friendship is so strong and they fulfill their wedding vows to eachother without needing romance
#it was nice
#i don't think it was perfect or outstanding rep but i personally never expected to hear the word gay in a bangali movie
#like it wasn't even bollywood guys
#and like I know they didn't use the word 'queerplatonic'
#but from that description I would say it fits?
