A touching film that explores gender and sexuality. A maternally neglected girl finds comfort in her uncle and his transgender partner. Beautiful cinematography and a lovely musical score add to the story of an extraordinary family unit.
On what he expected to be a typical day, Prasad, a reluctant pimp, must investigate the sudden disappearance of his network’s most demanded prostitute, Nimmi. Just hours before, a nervous young man named Mathi was preparing to admit to his lifelong friend that he has always identified as a woman and that he has always been in love with him. While Prasad questions how he landed in this business, his guilty conscience fuels him to locate Nimmi and eventually leads him to Mathi, who is busy dealing with the repercussions of his confession.
Khoon Diy Baarav enters the vexed political scenario in Kashmir through the lives of families of the victims of enforced disappearances. The film is a non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences ruptured by violence, undermined by erasure, and over-ridden by official documents that challenge truth. Made over nine years it explores memory as a mode of resistance, constantly confronting and morphing- from the personal to political, individual to collective. It looks at the ways in which those affected by violence have no choice but to remember.
