I had to pare it down, eliminate. I chose to tell the story through small events, not the major ones. Not so much these days. I wanted to show that the different forms of sexuality are so prevalent. I wanted to highlight their normalcy.

Butalia expressed a generally negative view of contemporary Indian cinema. Most of the films are examples of how not to make a film.
