“A Nice Indian Boy” is a new film that tells the story of a mixed-race, same-sex relationship that explores themes of acceptance and love. The movie follows shy doctor Naveen Gavaskar as he meets freelance photographer Jay Kurundkar, both navigating their relationship amidst comical misunderstandings and emotional revelations that threaten to tear Naveen’s family apart. The film, released in theaters last Friday, is compared to the classic “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” but with a unique perspective due to the characters and their backgrounds. Directed by Roshan Sethi and produced by Justin Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios, the rom-com follows a traditional template with a Hindu temple meeting, a breakup, and a reunion before a big Indian wedding. Sethi aims for the film to be accessible to all audiences. “A Nice Indian Boy” stands out for its portrayal of same-sex relationships in a South Asian household, a topic often overlooked in mainstream media. The film is seen as a useful tool for queer individuals in navigating conversations about their sexuality with their families, shifting the responsibility for acceptance onto parents and the larger household. Overall, the film offers a fresh perspective on love, acceptance, and the complexities of identity in a diverse and inclusive manner.
