-South Asian culture as it is perceived today by most South Asians is actually "for straights only". -I liked the suggestion that it was not always so in India.
-I'm glad I found this film. -This film is from the perspective of the sister of a gay man from India about South Asian gays and lesbians. -I've been unable to find others like it. -There is only one other film about South Asian gays and lesbians (of which I'm aware) and it is from the perspective of a South Asian gay man. I searched for "for straights only" on the web for other comments/reviews.
