said yuvraj, adding that for the female lead they are scouting for a fresh face in india and pakistan .
overall, sharma deserves a special mention for attempting to create a film such as dunno y. but he does a disastrous job with its execution. the point of the film is never actually diagnosed, the dialogues are ott, clich
germany, canada, israel, england, austria, norway and directors and singers from greece attended the festival. dunno y... na jaane kyun was subtitled in greek and had two full house screenings on public demand. 0n being asked how does it feels to get good response in a foreign country kapil says excitedly' simply awesome! greek audience loved our film. they are very warm and friendly people. 0ne day while we were walking on street a group of greek girls stopped us and asked us are you the actors from dunno y? they had seen dunno y in the second screening which we had not attended. they clicked lots of snaps with us.' yuvraaj adds' another day we had a live dance show. i performed on kathak and kapil on bollywood number. after our performance fans jumped on stage, we had carried some bollywood music with us we told the dj to play it and made everybody on floor dance with us. it was cute watching greeks trying to follow bollywood steps.'
gay activists fear dunno y will provoke a backlash from religious and political conservatives, many of whom opposed the recent effective repeal of colonial - era indian laws that made homosexuality punishable by up to 10 years in prison as a crime
against nature
.
where dunno y. . tries to take it further than just a furtive liason is in the way it shows the relationship between the two men: the married man nearly reaches the point of breaking off with his wife, but his lover refuses to let him .
dunnoy na jaae kyun this film i see so many time. it was great film. we need something new. our generation first than past. so many people say our culture of our country. everything is right but do u no our behind hapen so manything. anybody tall something no right. why this film? look this film not only for gay love story. here is so many tipe of story wife, mom, dad, brother, granma. so i tall is actor indian film star yuvraaj parasher dunnoy na jaane kyun he did very good .
a research film directed by sanjay sharma which is written by kapil sharma, under the banner of shant ketan films that covers the most sensational issue of gay icon. dunno y. . na jaane kyun! is a story of christian family, rebacca (zeenat aman) and her husband (kabir bedi). disturbance & fight occur in their marital life, which as a result they get separated. children stay with their mom, but little disturbed due to their childhood. so elder son is well settled and married but is not happy, so falls into gay icon when he meets up karan on internet. and then this issue reflects on family, their reactions to overcome goes into deep sensuality as a deep twist comes up like us on facebook urltoken follow us on twitter urltoken
dunno y... has previously been screened at alta, new york, houston, sydney, london, athens, florence, oslo, cologne, dortmund, bern, tel aviv, nashik and mumbai film festivals. the film, featuring zeenat aman, kabir bedi, helen and rituparna sengupta, has been directed by sanjay sharma, while lata mangeshkar has sung the title track .
worse, his father is ready to go to court and officially cut off ties with his son. seen as india’s answer to ang lee’s sensitive drama brokeback mountain that boasts of remarkable acting from heath ledger and jake gyllenhaal, dunno y... na jaane kyun sees yuvraaj partner with actor kapil sharma to breathe life into their bold characters. yuvraaj’s father satish parasher told bt, “i feel what he has done is against the culture and tradition of our country and it challenges the purity of the relationship between a man and a woman. he kept us in the dark right from when he signed the film and told us that he is acting with a girl. when we heard about the poster and the things he has done in the film, we were shocked, hurt and humiliated. people will make fun of us and we won’t be able to live peacefully ever again. ”
i am longing to see this movie. i have seen the short film “you can’t curry love”, and if “dunno y” is half as good as that film, it’s great. it’s been compared to “brokeback mountain”, which is one of the best films ever made. and to deepak’s father i say: you don’t deserve to have such a brave son. the only thing deepak has done, is trying to bring indian film into this century. here in norway, we would disown a father like that !
but spare a thought for the two male lovebirds when cops walk in on their “ chumma chaati ” (making out) in the car. they’re only making love, not war. why then, why, should they be treated this way? we agree. why should we go through this dumb flick? dunno why. maybe we ask the filmmakers: “dood, tael me why, why…” .

all i can say is that after reading about the story below, i love my always supportive dad all the more .
but for yuvraaj parasher, it’s turning out to be something of a nightmare at least when it comes to family .
yuvraaj’s father satish parasher is ready to go to court and officially cut off ties with his son telling reporters: “i feel what he has done is against the culture and tradition of our country and it challenges the purity of the relationship between a man and a woman. he kept us in the dark right from when he signed the film and told us that he is acting with a girl. when we heard about the poster and the things he has done in the film, we were shocked, hurt and humiliated. people will make fun of us and we won’t be able to live peacefully ever again. ”
“his mother is totally devastated, ” the elder parasher adds. “we are a respected family and i’m appalled that he is playing a gay man’s role. we’re finished. all the dreams and hopes we had built around him are over. for just a film role, he has lost out on his blood ties. we don’t want to see his face ever … not even when we are dying. ”
the actor had been thrilled to land the role saying in an earlier interview with indyarocks: “i feel cinema and the audience have changed. i never wanted to make my debut as a collegian wooing a chick on a bike. when i was selected to play gay in the audition, i was elated. i’d rather do something unconventional. ”
speaking about making love to a guy on camera, yuvraaj said: “it was awkward. after doing it with kapil we avoided each other. finally we looked at one another and burst laughing. ”
( all comments are reviewed before being published, and i review submissions several times per day. )
yuvraaj is a brave man. i hope he realises he is now a role model for the millions of glbt indians .
to yuvraaj’s father re: ’i feel what he has done is against the culture and tradition of our country’……how about he tour a couple of hindu temples and respond to the many sculptures of two men fucking! homosexuality was never a big deal until the british took over. ironically, the british have moved on and india is for the most part stuck in some british raj time warp .
it was just in a moviie. . and it is akward. . but if you won’t see him as your son…i think that’s very stupiidd
please, i hope that uk will get back to india in a serious civilization process. the young generation will succeed in civlizing the indian actors .
we met yuvraaj parasher and kapil sharma in tel aviv, israel where the film was screened at tel aviv gay and lesbian film festival. both yuvraaj parasher and kapil sharma were representing their country in a honorable way. very polite, funny an beautiful men telling us about india, a country they truly love. when you meet people from countries so far away, with different culture, these people give you an impression of the country, the culture and way people are in that country. yuvraaj parasher and kapil sharma made us aware of the beauty of india and because of them we will try to visit india and see for ourselves what this country is like. we hope india and the people in india understand what a gift these two brave men has. development is a slow process, but we are sure that also india in the future accept that people are different - and that the difference between us are important to treasure. love between man and man, woman and woman is the same love as between man and woman - just as pure, solid and beautiful. to be human is to understand and accept the differences. yuvraaj parasher and kapil sharma captured the festival guests hearts by being who they are. india and their parents should be proud to have given life to so brave and beautiful human beeings .
it is shameful how deepak parashar’s father has reacted to his sons choice. off course it is different but should the parents not take time to understand thier kids as well. i just hope deepak never holds any grudge against his father it will be his greatest achievement to to forgive his father for not being able to see what the world sees in deepak who has actually had the courage to take a step which so many would not dare to. deepak’s father should be proud that he has taught his son to stand for what he thinks is right and not dosown him for not being himself and conceeding to his will. i am sure one day mr parashar will come around this. i feel sorry for his mother who in her heart likely feels proud of her son. mothers always do .
finely the film is availeble at amazon. it is a great story, and i think deepak is carying the whole film. thank you for giving us a great performance and being brave guy. love you for it .
i am proud to be from india – from where these two bold and handsome boys – yuvraj parasher & kapil sharma are! i felt proud to be a gay when i viewed the movie. indeed a bold initiative in a country like india where even the supreme court of india ruled homosexuality to be illegal .

attended the event, which also saw them performing live. while yuvraaj presented a kathak concert, kapil grooved to a bollywood number .

satish believes yuvraaj will never get a girl to marry him. “his mother is totally devastated, ” said the aggrieved father. “we are a respected family and i’m appalled that he is playing a gay man’s role. we’re finished. all the dreams and hopes we had built around him are over. for just a film role, he has lost out on his blood ties. we don’t want to see his face ever... not even when we are dying. ” interestingly, yuvraaj’s act with kapil fetched them an award from deputy chief minister chhagan bhujbal for their sensitive portrayal of gay men. for the actor’s family, however, such accolades mean nothing .

he has just 2 weeks left & i need rs. 5. 5 lakh to save him .
the posters are ready, so is the film. the only question is whether the indian public is too .
already dubbed india' s answer to brokeback mountain it tells the story of an aspiring model who travels to mumbai, india' s commercial and film capital, to seek his fortune and enters into a homosexual relationship, in part to further his career .
it looks good ,
said ashok row kavi, editor of bombay dost, india' s first gay magazine. it talks of the complexities [ of being gay ] in india. taboos are still very strong and hopefully it will change things .
for decades bollywood avoided graphic depictions of even heterosexual kisses, with films famously cutting away to images of budding flowers, breaking waves or crashing waterfalls at the crucial moment .
earlier this year a film called love, sex … and dhokha (ditching) which included relatively graphic scenes of heterosexual sex was released. though there was much media debate, the film generated little public outrage, encouraging those seeking to draw the largely formulaic indian film industry in new directions. however the most explicit sequences in the film were cut or altered by censors .
the sexual revolution has been under way in bollywood for half a decade ,
said anupama chopra, film critic and author .
kissing is now fairly acceptable for most of the younger stars. the younger directors are responding to an evolving audience .
however homosexuality remains taboo. the nearest bollywood has got to portraying same - sex relationships so far is the 2008 film dostana – which showed two straight men pretending to be gay to persuade a landlady to allow her beautiful daughter to be their housemate. at the end of the film, as a punishment, they kiss .
it was a comedy but did involve big names playing effeminate men on screen ,
chopra said .
from india alone there are 25 films … i thought not many queer films were made in india ,
the festival director, sridhar rangayan, told dna newspaper .
we don' t want to hurt the indian sensibility. we had to discard 30 films for various reasons ,
rangayan said .
the film' s director, sanjay sharma, told the bbc recently that indian cinemagoers were
mature enough
to deal with the story line .
at the moment i' m not thinking about any political or censor problems ,
sharma said .
sharma' s brother kapil, who plays the lead, insisted that indian audiences were ready to accept homosexuality on screen. change however is slow .
we are still a very long way from seeing a mainstream major star play a gay role and that we won' t see that soon ,
chopra said .

kapil sharma and yuvraaj parashar are all set to walk the red carpet at the prestigious trikone film festival of sydney .
the film traces the relationship between two young men who do fall in love but fail to find a conducive atmosphere to freely express it. on the one hand, there is family pressure and on the other there is social derision which forces this gay couple to remain in the closet and hope for a new, more liberal world order .

this movie has been so hyped, i paid big bucks to buy it as it was not available for online rental so had to get a dvd mailed out to me. and i was immensely disappointed with it. everything from direction, story, and acting was horrifying to say the least. veteran actors like zeenat aman and helen were awful, and so were the rest of the cast. this movie was set in mumbai and was about an anglo saxon indian family with a married son, who had an urge to explore the gay lifestyle, hence the hype. i feel this movie was targeted for the gay audience in mind given there are not many such movies out of bollywood. this movie gets a rank of 1 as in my opinion it does not meet my entertainment standards .

it' s hard to estimate india’s homosexual population. most breathe uneasy in their closets. surely they deserve a movie for their own visual pleasures. this is it, i suppose .
if you’re male and swing towards women, you endure rakhee sawant. lesbians get girlfriend (amrita arora, eesha koppikar). gay crowds endure this. it’s only fair. bollywood’s entire rotary club – zeenat aman, kabir bedi, helen, parikshit sahni, name it – has graciously woken up from their slumber, gotten together to serve us homosexual entertainment to die for (or literally die against). blasphemy is in the ears of the listener. at some point, even lata mangeshkar’s deified high pitch juts out of the background score ,
the movie’s been canned entirely in english. basic grammar – “i cheating you, ” “i explain you” – evidently isn’t the screenwriter’s strongest point. strange story telling is. he should be suitably forgiven thus. just so his creativity doesn’t go berserk still, the filmmakers have hired a “script doctor”, a job profile rarely credited in hindi films .
their collective 100 - hour long imagination leads us into a joint christian family that bears financial pressures of living in mumbai .
a great grand mom (dancin’ helen), grand mom (zeenat aman in her clipped boarding school accent), estranged grand dad (kabir bedi), a daddy, his brother, the mom (rituparna sengupta) and a li’l kid: all of them stick it out as the bumbling family throws house parties where young ones in short skirts dance away, aunties bitch aloud, camera constantly pans to cleavages, wine’s on full flow… bizarreness never stops .
mom beds her brother - in - law. grand mom sleeps with sleazy old men. granddad is terminally ill. daddy is homosexual. survival’s tough, as you can tell. being gay, tougher still. surviving this scatter - brainless movie, toughest of ‘em all .

star cast: yuvraaj parasher, kapil sharma, zeenat aman, rituparna sengupta, helen .
plot: it is about a dysfunctional christian family. the elder son (yuvraaj) of zeenat aman is married and has a little daughter. he gets into a gay relationship with a guy (kapil) .
what’s bad: the theme; the pronunciations in the english dialogues; the acting; the music .
although the family pretends to be close - knit in front of the world, there’s a lot of tension between the members. rebecca and jenny hate margaret because their ideologies don’t match. peter had, years ago, given up the material life and had left the family to fend for itself. in a bid to raise her family, rebecca, therefore, sucks up to the passes made by her boss, kanhaiyalal deshmukh (vinay apte), whom she keeps calling by the abbreviated name of kld, and malkani (vivek vaswani), a rich businessman, only so that she can provide a comfortable lifestyle to her family .
while ashley works in an mnc, sam is still on the lookout for a paying job. sam loves his sister - in - law, jenny, and wants to settle down in life with her. suddenly, one day, peter returns as he is dying of cancer and wants to spend some days with his family. rebecca refuses to accept him back in her life while the other family members are more welcoming. almost equally suddenly one day, ashley is shown to be gay. under a new identity, he has an affair with aryan (kapil sharma). then, one day, ashley and jenny have a fight and the latter walks out on the former. sam makes the most of the situation, woos her and has a relationship with her. sam wants to take jenny with him abroad where he has landed a good job .
the film deals with the happenings in the d’souza household in the first half but it changes track at interval point so that the gay angle of the story takes precedence over all else in the second half. the film tries to justify homosexuality, which will not be palatable to the majority of the audience. not just that, even the scenes of love - making between males will repulse the orthodox audience no end .
the first part about the dysfunctional family is also depressing to watch because everyone in the drama seems to be having some problem or the other. rebecca’s proximity to two males will also not make much sense to the orthodox audience because it appears that she is trying to buy her children luxury items rather than items of basic necessity, due to her proximity to the two men. it is for this very reason that margaret’s outburst, towards the end, against kld who tries to make fun of rebecca giving in to his demands, doesn’t gladden the heart of the viewer. for, it is not as if every helpless woman opts for what rebecca has chosen to do. the track of sam trying to brainwash his own sister - in - law into marrying him, and of the two having a brief affair is also too bold for the indian audience and doesn’t leave a good taste in the mouth .
all in all, the story and screenplay seem to have been written just to shock the audience rather than with conviction. the christian backdrop and the language of communication between the characters being mainly english (and only sparingly hindi) will make matters worse for the viewers. what’s irritating is that the dialogues and pronunciations are so pathetic and sometimes even so incorrect that they will be simply put off by the entire facade to make it seem like it’s been made for a very educated audience. note, for instance, the dialogue, ‘may your wish comes (not come) true’. or when, ‘leave’ is pronounced as ‘live’ in the dialogue, ‘just leave me alone’! the film has been dubbed in hindi too .
the ending is unnecessarily sugar - sweet. everybody seems to be in a forgiving mood for no rhyme or reason but such an ending is far from impressive. in short, kapil sharma’s script doesn’t have much to offer. his dialogues are commonplace .
kapil sharma doesn’t impress. yuvraaj parasher also does a very ordinary job. rituparna sengupta is earnest but she should’ve taken more care of her pronunciations. zeenat aman is most at ease with her english dialogues. she acts fairly well. helen is okay but her hindi is terribly bad. kabir bedi does an average job. asha sachdev and mahabanoo mody - kotwal lend ordinary support. vinay apte and viveck vaswani are nice. maradona rebello, hazel and jennifer mayani pass muster. sonam arora (as tulsi) is okay. ganesh yadav acts ably as the police inspector. parikshat sahni (unrecognisable, as joseph) makes his presence felt. tara sharma gets almost no scope in a special appearance. aryan vaid also gets as good as nil scope .
sanjay sharma’s direction is hardly better than the script. the film seems to have been written and made for the festival circuit audience only. his editing should’ve been far more crisp. nikhil’s music score is functional. the title song has some melody. lyrics (satya prakash and vimal kashyap) are ordinary. camerawork and other technical values are average .

the material is so lame that even the usually feisty helen can' t give it a lift. she shrieks while zeenat aman delivers her lines in a superbly hammy school play manner and rituparna twists her face into approximations of unhappiness .
he story begins with an anglo indian family and it has margaret (helen) along with her daughter - in - law rebecca (zeenat) and her two sons ashley (yuvraaj) and his brother (maradona). ashley is married to jenny (rituparna) and has a kid. the story takes a t

according to the bbc, the movie focuses on a forbidden affair between two middle - class men in mumbai. shots of the two male actors in bed and passionately kissing, as well as shaving together in a bathroom, are among the more provocative segments .
says he received threatening letters in the mail in the weeks leading up to its release .
and the movie, which hits indian cinemas today, continues to divide potential audiences .
practically the entire religious spectrum in india is united in its opposition to the celebration of homosexuality ,
told the bbc .
not one of them says it' s a good thing, a natural thing .
the nation' s legion of gay activists felt differently .
i definitely feel this film is going to encourage filmmakers to make more realistic films... and bring about better understanding in the minds of the indian audience ,
said activist
turns out to be: a good idea wrapped, and nearly hidden, in clunky execution. every time something real struggles to come up, it is buried quickly under amateurish acting, or over - written plot points .
gay persons are not bad people. they are who they are. this is the statement of a fact that can bear repeating in mainstream cinema, but not in the way
ends up doing it. it takes a long time to get to the point. till the interval, in fact, when we discover that a husband who neglects the woman hes married to, is into men. he gets into an affair with an aspiring model - cum - actor who is auditioning (bollywood euphemism for sleeping with) around town. where
tries to take it further than just a furtive liason is in the way it shows the relationship between the two men: the married man nearly reaches the point of breaking off with his wife, but his lover refuses to let him .
for a hindi movie, this is way beyond anything thats been shown in the homosexual range till now. not just in the way the men show skin and suck lip, but in the feelings they share: these are people who want to live together, not just have illicit sex. but
because it doesnt go the mile. scared of putting off viewers, it balances the guy thing with a gal thing: the neglected wife is made to have a fling with the gay husbands younger brother who has the hots for her. it also situates the gay man and his predicament in a much - too complicated anglo - indian family, which has an absconding father (
, but you also wish it had been braver and stuck to its core story. some of the situations are not bad, though, even if the english used by the characters is unintentionally hilarious, and even if some of the physical stuff comes dangerously close to sleaze. nice takeaway: helen getting to do a graceful jig after she declares: after all ,
, the film will be handling the subject of homesexuality. and, it will be made on serious note unlike the most indian films made so far .
sanjay sharma doesnt believe in being casual or bold about it as much as doing justice to the subject. the portrayal will be emotional and sensitive and will also have some rather graphic scenes between two male protagonists. however, it will all be done aesthetically and is not meant just for titillating or sensationalizing. the biggest wonder is that debutant
so isnt he worried about being typecast since its his debut? no, he isnt, because he feels indian audience has matured by now to know that it is just a character that he is playing. what about being laughed at? the young gun is not bothered about that either as he knows that if one is different and takes a risk, brickbats come by as much as bouquets. being a professional actor, kapil has even done some kissing and love - making scenes since its all part of the job !
the film would be depicting the relationship between two men with as much honesty as a heterosexual relationship. sanjay sharnas simple logic is, if it were a man and a woman, they would have shown it the way it is, so why not if its two men? well, they have a lot of faith in indian audience which has matured after the amendment in section 377. so, this will be well - timed we guess .
it is wonderful to see these films embrace and point to brokeback mountain in their promotion. i hope that bbm has made it easier for these films to be made. i will add it to my queue .
it was only you in my life, and it will always be only you, jack, i swear.
