Queer Talkies | All about Queer and Bollywood

Join us for an exciting evening celebrating the intersection of queer culture and Bollywood at Queer Talkies! Experience a vibrant mix of entertainment conversation and fun as we explore LGBTQIA+ representation in Indian cinema.

The event kicks off with a screening of the latest queer-themed movie showcasing the evolving narratives of love identity and acceptance within Bollywood. Following the screening we’ll host a casual and candid discussion covering topics like the change in LGBTQIA+ representation in Bollywood over time and how Bollywood's stereotypical portrayal of the queer community has impacted queer lives—from perpetuating stigma and stereotypes to shaping public perception. This discussion will be a space to share thoughts insights and personal experiences stirred by the film and Bollywood at large.

We plan to screen the recent queer movie, Amar Prem Ki Prem Kahani. It will be an amazing experience watching a Desi Queer Movie with your Desi crowd 😉.

To wrap up the evening on a lighthearted note engage in fun games designed to bring out the Bollywood fan in everyone! Whether you’re a trivia master or love a good guessing game there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Come be part of this relaxed inclusive environment where we laugh reflect and celebrate queer stories on the big screen!
