And then there were typical song sequences and hetero-normative stuff that marriage is the culmination of love when homosexuality itself defines the word love in new sense.”
The topic was treated with more of a comic relief rather than emotional perspective.
And the climax of the series was really the most absurd thing, which was no doubt provided it is Ekta Kapoor series. There were rarely moments to show the characters inner psyche which was at war with themselves and popular societal belief of what is normal or not. Mostly it cantered around cutsie moments of first love without treating the subject with emotional perspective.
Sharing his thoughts on the web-series he further added “No doubt in the series there were moments where one could identify themselves but these were a rarity.
The story is engaging as well as entertaining and ice on the cake is all actors have done complete justice with their respective characters.Īccording to Research Scholar Kalpit Sharma, it is progressive steps by Balaji but still it is plagued with typical Indian TV serial mentality, where they do not consider the depth of emotions rather glorify the materialism. The plot of this web-series has a realistic approach so that everyone can relate with it, but at various points dramatic presentation clearly indicates towards the connection with Balaji Telefilms and Ekta Kapoor. Above all Romil & Jugal is the need of the hour as it makes audience realise that irrespective of rejection, people are falling in love with same genders in our society. However, you will find the glimpses of many Bollywood movies such as Two States (Clash of Tamilian and Punjabi families), Student of the Year (Entry of Jugal & his dance sequence in the college) etc. However, this comparison is not fair as the only similarity between both stories is that both are Love Stories. As per the early estimates the story is the Gay version of legendary Romeo & Juliet. Finally the wait is over and all episodes are streaming on AltBalaji app (with three episodes out on YouTube). It’s so fascinating that she didn’t ignore LGBTQ community in her new journey and she is offering a romantic LGBTQ themed drama series to her audience titled Romil & Jugal.Īs soon as Kapoor made the announcement of this web series it created buzz and excitement among the audience.
Borrow a streaming service password from family– however you define it!–and enjoy.After ruling small screen for years, the queen of Indian Television Ekta Kapoor has recently forayed into Digital space through a video streaming platform AltBalaji. Representation matters, and these films provide a variety of archetypes, stories and styles for you to lose and/or find yourself in. Pride– real pride– requires self-knowledge, and it's hard to know who you are when you can't see who you can be. While gay characters tended until much too recently to be one-dimensional, white, marginal, and doomed, in 2018 Barry Jenkins won a Best Picture Oscar telling the layered and hopeful story of a gay Black man in Moonlight. Queer cinema has evolved too, from the shoestring brilliance of The Watermelon Woman to the big-budget glitter-fest that is Rocketman. But queer characters have come a long way in a relatively short time, from the self-loathing middle-aged men of 1970's The Boys In The Band to the headstrong misfits of this summer's Fire Island. LGBTQ-centered films are still pretty rare– particularly from major studios, as the buzz around Bros reveals. But it's also an opportunity to learn your queer history, and a self-curated LGBTQ film festival is a great way to do that. It's a great time to march, and to party, and to be marketed to. It's Pride Month, as a whole lot of rainbow corporate logos have already told you.
