Queerness in Indian Media
↳Film: DEDH ISHQIYA (2014, Hindi) dir. ABHISHEK CHAUBEY
Dedh Ishqiya is a dark comedy which follows two criminals, Khalu (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi), who decide to con a widowed noblewoman, Begum Para (Madhuri Dixit). Unbeknownst to them, Begum Para has got a plan of her own: find a rich suitor, swindle him out of his money, then run away with her maid, Muneera (Huma Qureshi), with whom she is in love. The womens' plan takes several alarming turns, but ultimately Begum Para and Muneera are able to trick Khalu and Babban, elope together, and live happily ever after.
The lesbian relationship is loosely based off of Ismat Chughtai's 1942 short story Lihaaf, which was an extremely controversial story in British colonial India for its allusions to sexuality and lesbianism, and which resulted in the author being called for an obscenity trial. The short story includes abusive and pedophilic elements which Dedh Ishqiya does away with; instead, Begum Para and Muneera's relationship is one of mutual love between adults.
Abhishek Chaubey discusses his films, including how he came to include the "lesbian strain" in Dedh Ishqiya and how "learned friends" helped him with coding the relationship, here
The actress Madhuri Dixit has been in multiple gay and gay-coded media, both as a supportive character and as the gay character herself. She has also been supportive in real life of the LGBTQ community.

Mini Series that can be watched over a long weekend
Fame Game (2022)
Tumblr media
A thriller starring Madhuri Dixit as Anamika, this mini-series was dark and eye-opening from so many perspectives. The show is available on Netflix with just 8 episodes and can be called her significant break on the OTT Platform after her films Kalank and Maja Maa. The series has an air of mystery and an eerie aura throughout. While each secret unravels in every episode, the morose story behind the lives of celebrities is apparent. It is obvious how they have tried to highlight the truth behind the facade they have to carry as a celebrity, along with appearing as a picture-perfect family.
Though I was excited by the prospect of watching Madhuri Dixit on the small screen along with numerous talented actors, I was taken aback by the somberness of the show and how clearly the difference in their lives is showcased. Even the trailer tries to set the reality and the onscreen life of the actress in the show, but it was so much more intricate than one can imagine. While the show is colourful and engages the audience throughout, the end is a little unceremonious. And yet, it makes sense considering the points they established throughout the show.
A Suitable Boy (2020)
Tumblr media
The show features the life of a literature student post-independence and the various challenges she faced while forced to make tough decisions for her life. The storyline is based on Vikram Seth's book of the same name and is available on Netflix with just 7 episodes. While the show revolves around Lata, it also pivots into the lives of various youngsters around her, who are her cousins and family friends. In a country that has just recovered from a massive change in government and is on the precipice of significant changes for the future, this show allows us into the minds of individuals in that area wrestling with their own mindsets and expectations.
Having started the show with no expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by the little details that were ingrained into the aesthetics and their lives which makes it so much more insightful into the lives of individuals nearly 8 decades ago. With numerous shows today segregating individuals as either modern or traditional, Lata was a surprising blend of both. Her mind was progressive with expectations above and beyond for her life, while she also stayed constant in her culture and values that would impact her personally. Though her choice of the groom at the end of the show surprised me, it also made sense for the woman she was and the position she was in. Though she had numerous instigators in her life trying to push her into making decisions that they would like, Lata braved the world and made a choice that was her own which struck a chord in me.
The End of the F…ing World (2017)
Tumblr media
Seeing the alarming title of the show, I had steered clear of it to avoid answering my parents if discovered watching it by chance for a very long time. This miniseries based on a novel of the same name is available on Netflix and comprises 16 short episodes. While the show starts off on a peachy note, it takes us on a journey with the teenager, James, who firmly believes he is a psychopath. Having conducted his own experiments on himself to confirm his suspicions, his perspective and direction change when he meets Alyssa. While quirky and impulsive on her own, Alyssa convinces James to take a journey to find her estranged father which entails a series of trials.
Funny in its own way and challenging to our monotonous perspective, this show gets to us all. After finally watching it at the beginning of the pandemic, this show stole my heart and made me wish I had a companion as they both had each other in their bizarre situations. While the beginning is as alarming as its title, the show progresses into their minds episode by episode and giving us an insight into how people make their decisions and how life changes so unsuspectingly. With short episodes that barely tire us, it is an amusing watch, all things considered.
Unorthodox (2020)
Tumblr media
With no idea what the show was like or what it was about, this miniseries was a shocking revelation into a world existing in a famed city that we all know of. Prominently set in New York and Germany, this show features the story of a Hasidic Jewish girl who flees her community to start a new life. Being introduced to it through a random Netflix suggestion, this show changed my mind in a matter of 4 episodes. A tale that is daunting to those of us living in a comfortable community, this show is a wake-up call on how we choose to educate ourselves and be a part of global platforms.
While the story was unsettling to watch, it was nearly impossible to imagine the control that a community has over you if not checked often. While communities and religion were formed to help humanity to regulate the chaos that we are in and to tackle the world, this show puts a perspective on the amount of power our faith can give to individuals who wield power in any given community. Blind faith has never been the answer and yet is still the most expected commodity out of any individual in any situation. The show at the end of the day shows us the courage of a girl too young in a world that is too large, trying to sway her in every other direction to control her life.
Bombay Begums (2021)
Tumblr media
Narrating a tale of four women and a young girl this mini-series puts a perspective on the working of the world and the challenges that are a part of a woman's life, no matter their age, caste, position or power. It starts with Rani and Shai, who are a part of a prominent family in the banking world. Then moves to Fatima and Ayesha, two of the employees in the same organization, and eventually Lily, who is fighting her own war. All the women live in modern Mumbai and fight against struggles that nearly any woman in India or maybe other places also faces. The dialogues hit home as the story moves in an unpredictable direction leaving us with a sharp sting of reality over 6 episodes.
While expecting a show full of politics and deception, the show actually delivered a narrative that was far too real and outstanding. While the show is strictly feminist by nature, it also does not predispose to a narrative that favours women in any way. Though some may call the show dramatic and over the top with the choices some of them make, I believe we all have the power to make those same choices and find realities that might be far more solemn than what is shown here.
Hymn of Death (2018)
Tumblr media
A melancholic drama set in the colonial era in Japan-Korea, this show has a way to find a place in your heart, based on the real story of the dramatist Woojin and the soprano Simdeok who had an ill-fated relationship. Having found each other in Japan during their studies amid the Japanese invasion, the two slowly grow a bond with each other. During the many trials they both face, they seem to have fate on their side as they keep finding each other every time. Being set in an era where life was hard and fighting to hold on to their passions was harder, these two find an end to their troubles in each other's presence.
With no idea what the show was about, this mini-series left my heart broken on how unimaginable the world was over a century ago for people in their youths. While the story is primarily about their relationship and its trajectory afterwards, it also sheds light on the expectations that were laid on the individuals of that time, the expected familial duties concerning their own economic situations, the hidden impacts of the invasion and companionship that has nothing to do with romance. Hymn of death might have a poetic tragic ending, but it is still priceless for the stories illuminated through the tale of these two lovers.
Kingdom (2019)
Tumblr media
A dynamic series of 12 episodes set in medieval-era Korea, it is a thriller-horror show ruled by politics. A falling nation with the King in hiding and people starving, the story is led by the prince in search of the truth of what is happening in the palace. But with each layer he strips off and every morsel of truth he discovers, he finds that humanity is scarce when it comes to people saving themselves. Released around the same time as the covid pandemic this show features a pandemic of its own kind and the way the people of a small country deal with a disease that spreads ruthlessly and takes lives like a reaper.
With so many influential opinions on the show from critics and on social media, this show was everything and more. It is brisk and strikes down its story clearly. While there was much left in the dark, the story went from a perspective to focus on the bigger picture with every episode. The strong characters and the realistic circumstances keep us on the edge of our seats. As the story swerved into a whirlwind with so many details and brilliant visual direction, it is absolutely binge-worthy and gripping till the end.
Sweet Home (2020)
Tumblr media
Another Korean mini-series focussed on a monster outbreak set in modern Korea, this show is imaginative and dark with plenty of gore. While the show is not for the light-hearted, the characters stand out for their uniqueness and will to fight against everything to hold on to their humanity in dire situations. Based on a webtoon of the same name, the show initially focuses on Hyunsoo, a young adult plagued with dark thoughts who moves into a shady apartment with plans of killing himself. With 10 episodes, all spanning 50 minutes, this show is ingenious and a hidden gem.
Even though I had been hesitating to watch the show after hearing about the gore, the show became a surprising favourite. With characters that seem too real and the concept of evolution thrown at us with this perspective, this show can be easily overlooked due to its disturbing visuals. Like any apocalypse story, this show has characters with some stereotypes, but the way they all are shown in their realities and their hidden vulnerabilities makes us attached to them all one by one.
Squid Game (2021)
Tumblr media
Well-known for featuring chilling games and the authenticity of people's lives, this show deserved every bit of fame that came in its direction. Known for taking the internet by wildfire, the story features individuals with financial debts being recruited to play children's games, much like gambling, to get rid of their debt if they get to the final game and win it. Sounding simple enough to nearly all the participants, the show starts somberly, initially focussing on the life of Seong Gi-hun. But only once they enter the game do they all realize the reality and risks of the game. With 9 episodes and another upcoming season, this show is bound to keep any audience on the edge of their seat.
Having avoided plenty of shows because it was overrated, this show left me appalled, yet it made sense. While in the end, the character says if he was given the choice again, he would have chosen differently; I believe the realities of their lives often make people make hard choices that they would probably make again despite claiming otherwise. The show exposes capitalism and elite culture around the world from a perspective of a middle-aged man. With unnerving characters, all of whom are fighting for survival, this show is savage and yet enlightening.
My Name (2021)
Tumblr media
Featuring the story of a young girl who loses her father to a criminal while being a crime lord himself, it goes on to show the woman she raises herself to bring justice to her father's death. The show is set in urban Korea, where the hidden crime world is exposed and how she has to work through the ranks to get what she wants. While the show has plenty of action and violence, it keeps the core story constant throughout as she makes her way into the world. With numerous characters looking to use her in their own ways and make her a pawn to the existing social structures, Jiwoo finds her own people to help her through her journey.
Unconventional and insightful, this show takes us into the misogynistic world of crime where we quickly find ourselves waiting for Jiwoo to find the truth and her peace. Through the 8 episodes, it is obvious how incredibly hardworking and single-minded she is about her goals. Two things the show evidently focuses on are the way the people around you shape you as the person you are and the comfort necessary for an individual to stay human. Refreshing with a female protagonist who isn't delicate and a complex antagonist, this show is sure to leave an imprint in the mind of any audience.

Classic BL Watch: MasterPost
Namaste besties. @waitmyturtles started a challenge watching Older Thai BLs and it got me thinking as well. I've seen a few, I've DNF-ed a few, but I wanted to see the progression with my own eyes. Thus we be here.
The basic premise is to watch and review Thai BLs from Love Sick 2014 (which I believe is the first Thai BL) to present time.
I'm going to make a few changes to the format and include BLs from other countries as well, including China (if I can find it).
This is a long post so I divided it into chapters: - Some History - The Method to Potential Madness - List - Rating System I've made individual posts about each under #org: subcategory
I've been fascinated with BLs for over two years. To find that there was an entire world of queer content out there which A) existed and B) didn't queerbait or bury the gay, was a revelation. How could this be? I'd watched Yuri!!! on Ice in 2017 and I guess assumed that BLs would be the same (E7 blocked kiss). So while BLs were on my radar for a while before I started I didn't get into them until relatively recently. I got so into them that I started a YouTube Channel about it.
See I'm a writer and watching art transform in front of your eyes is a relatively recent phenomena and it makes my brain go brrr...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Some History:
I'm Indian. I'm queer. We didn't have any rights until 2018 when the ban on homosexuality was lifted. We've had queer movies but they were your traditional Oscar-bait type things until very, very recently. By that I mean until last year where we had Maja Ma, a Madhuri Dixit starrer movie about a mom coming out as a lesbian which shocks the family and makes trouble for the son's marriage. It's a brilliant movie with one of India's best actresses as the lead. But it was a Netflix Original. Before that there was Subh Mangal Zyada Savdhan and Badhaai Do, which are both good queer movies which aired in cinemas from 2020 and 2022 respectively. All to say, queer media is very very very new in India. As such, what was a young queer to do but follow the Indian Dream and go to America. Which I did, in a literary sense. In fact watching Nyssa Al Ghul kiss Sara Lance was my queer awakening. (I love Ava but this ship was really something.) Between the good writing and queer chars being present, I wasn't coming back to India like any typical NRI.
I've mentioned before about how for the story I started writing at 15 there was no other love interest for the female lead except for another girl. It just won't make sense. This was before 2018, mind you, so not a chance in hell this would be published in India. I consoled myself with 'We'll publish in America. It takes place in space anyway, so it's fine.' But then came a story that just won't work in America. Think: what if Succession's terrible people protags were queer and Indian but it's written from a 'truly believes in romance' pov. Confused already right? I'd already given up hope. I love this, but it won't be anything more than a webnovel.
Par kahte hai -
Tumblr media
(It is said, if you love something with all your heart then the entire universe will conspire to get it to you.)
And somehow I found BLs. A world of queer stories the likes of which I'd never seen before, brimming with love and support and honest and real and queer. The Bollywood fan in me lived again after a decade 6 feet under.
I love BLs. There's no two ways about it. I love them for the love they give, the hope they have, the cringe, the drama, the stupidity, the honesty, the realness. It's everything I ever wanted queer media to be. To start it from 0 and learn what made them what they are would be an amazing learning experience and to share that with other people... well how can I not?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Method to potential Madness:
My tastes are a little peculiar. I have seen media from all over the world, the good and the bad, what it has taught me is nothing is every going to be perfect and I will miss things that are important to other people but what else I've learned is that I don't really care about something being good. If it's broken, a little difficult, a little cheap but made with love. I am all in.
See when I was young during Janmasthami every year these guys from an organization called Yogeshwar would come in white kurtas and perform nataks(plays) in our society. They didn't have sets, 2-3 props, just that white kurta and pants as outfits and yet it was entertaining. It was fun. I loved it. So money and pure intentions have never been barriers for me.
Tumblr media
(an example of Janmasthami natak)
What I do care about is competence. That the writer understands what they are writing about. The best actor can't pull off a bad script but a bad actor can be tolerated in a good script.
To get you an idea of my tastes some of my favorite medias are Legends of Tomorrow, Guardian (Cdrama), Supernatural, Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Chains of Heart, Kinnporsche, LITA, The Eclipse, The Devil Judge, Crash Course in Romance, SRK movies from '00 like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Main Hoon Na, Kabhi Khushsi Kabhi Gham, etc. As you can see, very widely ranging. I love competence and I love heart. Everything else I can live without. To that end some shows I didn't like/DNF-ed: Bed Friend, Step by Step, Big Mouth, Eve, Game of Thrones, most Netflix things, Mr. Robot, Supergirl, The Flash, Elite, Witcher, Coffee Melody, War of Y. If you get too PC without the narrative backup I'll leave; If it's too nihilistic, I'll leave; If it's too monotonous, I'll leave. I have Psychotic Depression, I don't have the time to deal with this shit.
