ReviewLokesh manages to weave in a lot of diversity among the characters – that of gender, class, caste, disability, religion – and not in a ‘tick-all-the-boxes’ way. N4 / ScreengrabLokesh Kumar’s N4 is set in Kasimedu, a hamlet in North Chennai that’s a major hub for fishing in the city. Appropriately, the film opens with a title song that captures life in the area, with visuals of beautiful silver fish being sold in the bustling market. What’s immediately arresting about the casting – at least to me – is the dusky skinned women actors playing the lead. How rare is it to see that in mainstream Tamil cinema, where the usual practice is to either cast pale-skinned women or brownface them in an attempt to make them suit a role. Vinusha Devi and Gabriella Sellus play Abhinaya and Soundarya, sisters in an unconventional family that has come together through a tragedy. They...

The acceptance of Lgbt community is one of the most talked about issues in today’s world. And in a country like India where people are much more conservative of talking about sex and sexuality, the Tamil movie “My Son Is Gay” is a bold statement with some powerful messages. Though director Lokesh Kumar kept the debatable narrative inside the four walls of a house only, the movie is unique with a thought provoking story line.
“My Son is Gay” runs as part of the 9th edition of the Bagri Foundation London Indian Film Festival, that runs at 15 cinemas, across London, Birmingham and Manchester, from 21st June to 1st July, with 27 films, including features and short films, in competition.

KollywoodThis is the first Tamil film on gay relationships.Tnm StaffEn Magan Magizhvan (My Son is Gay), touted to be the first Tamil film on gay relationships, has won the Best Film Award at the Second Indian World Film Festival-2018 (Iwff-18) that was held in Hyderabad recently. Directed and produced by Lokesh Rajavel, the film made its international premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in August 2017. It was also screened at the NewFest: The NYC Lgbt Film Festival in New York. My Son is Gay received a 'U/A' certificate without any cuts from the Cbfc in November last year, following which it premiered in India on November 25, 2017 at the Calcutta International Lgbt Film and Video Festival. The cast includes well-known actors like Anupama Kumar, Jayaprakash, Kishore Kumar, Sriranjani, Abhishek Joseph, and debutant Ashwinjith. As the title suggests, the film is about a young man coming out to his mother about his sexual orientation. Actor Anupama Kumar has played the mother and Ashwinjith, the son. The film is set to release in theatres soon. My Son is Gay was initially supposed to be made in Hindi through crowdfunding. However, the effort did not work out and Lokesh Kumar made the film in Tamil. There have been very few Tamil films which have had gay characters and their portrayal has mostly been derogatory. Indian films which dealt with gay relationships have also run into trouble in the past. Aligarh, which released in 2016, was based on the life of an Aligarh Muslim University (Amu) professor who was suspended from his job because of his sexual orientation. The film ran into trouble with a fringe group called the Millat Bedari Muhim Committee (Mbmc) that asked for it to be banned. The 2016 Jayan Cherian's Malayalam film Ka Bodyscapes finally received an ‘A’ certificate from the Cbfc after a long drawn battle. The film tells the story of a painter named Haris, Vishnu, his lover and rural kabaddi player, and their friend Sia, a woman from a conservative Muslim family in Kerala who questions patriarchal norms.
