Yours Emotionally
Summary. The film raises issues of cultural identities and challenges stereotypes. It is an important milestone in making visible the invisible Indian gay community. The film is written and produced by Niranjan Kamatkar of arts charity "Wise Thoughts", London UK who is dole copyright holder, and was co-produced by Solaris Pictures, Mumbai, India. The director Sridhar Rangayan, who earlier made the award-winning film "The Pink Mirror" says that what is wonderful about this film is the fearless participation, for the first time, of more than 100 gay and transsexual members of gay groups like The Humsafar  Trust in Mumbai and Lakshya in Gujarat. Reviewing the film for Frameline30, Corey Eubanks wrote: Synopsis. Two best friends, Ravi and Paul, go on vacation to India where they attend an all night, eye-opening gay sex party. Surprised by the openness of their hosts and the aggressiveness of the guests, the boys fall into the steadily growing Indian gay culture. Ravi is especially bitten hard as he falls for the good looking but deeply closeted Mani. Will caste, economics and customs allow these two love birds a happy ending or will the forces of tradition and homophobia keep them  apart? Fueled by flirting, erotic performances and open sex, "Yours Emotionally" is a revealing film about the growing Indian gay community. The camera lingers over the hot bodies of Indian men and never shirks from giving gay men a sexuality seldom seen from this part of the world. Sridhar Rangayan uses both traditional and experimental film techniques to build a story of love, compassion and truth in a society that is only now beginning to accept gay people for who they are.
