THE PINK MIRROR (GULABI AAINA)

40 min / 2002 / Hindi with English subtitles

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN2WAgK7p6M

The Pink Mirror pits two Indian drag queens against a westernized gay teenager in a battle to woo a handsome hunk. It's a clash of the east and west. Who will win? The drag queens, who are expert in the art of seduction with their wit, innuendo and cunning or the young teenager who is saucy, slutty and sly? Underneath the campy humorous exterior, the film is an exploration of the Indian gay landscape and understanding of the deep, humanly tender bondings that exist between drag queens in India who form unique, non-patriarchal families. Using the Bollywood soap idiom of song, dance and drama and for the first time in the Indian drag queens' very own language, Hindi, the film also explores other veiled issues related to the Indian gay community: the lurking threat of HIV/AIDS.

The Pink Mirror (Gulabi Aaina) is an award winning film on Indian transvestites. Internationally acclaimed & applauded for its sensitive portrayal of the Indian homosexual closet in true Bollywood style with dance, drama and desire ! The film created a stir in the international film festival circuit screening at more than 80 film festivals and winning 2 awards for best film of the festival.
