January is celebrated as Pride Month in Mumbai, with various cultural activities being held throughout the month culminating in the Pride March on February 1st.
To celebrate pride month in Mumbai, Sridhar Rangayan’s award winning film Evening Shadows is being screened on January 21st at Cinepolis Andheri West. This special screening is a joint initiative of Reborn India Film and Cinepolis India.
Sridhar Rangayan, director of the film said, “We are very happy to bring this special screening to audiences in Mumbai to reiterate the importance of family acceptance of LGBTQ+ children. The film was a huge success and we now have a sequel to this film titled Kuch Sapney Apne ready for release. Everyone should come and join this journey of love and acceptance.”
Evening Shadows is a heartwarming story about a gay man Kartik (Devansh Doshi) coming out to his mother Vasudha (Mona Ambegaonkar) in a small town, and how she is unable to understand anything about his sexuality. But with love and care, they manage to understand each other and she stands up against her husband Damodar (Ananth Mahadevan) to embrace her son. Kartik’s partner Aman (Arpit Chaudhary), uncle Ramesh (Abhay Kulkarni), aunt Lata (Veenah Naair) and Sarita (Yamini Singh) form the supporting cast.
The film features a beautiful song composed and sung by Shubha Mudgal, with lyrics by Saagar Gupta, who has also written the dialogues for the film.
In 2018 the film stormed the festival circuit with official selection at 82 international film festivals, winning 27 awards globally! The film received a lot of love from not only parents of LGBTQ+ children across the world, but also non-queer youth and their family members. The film helped young gay & lesbian people to come out to their parents after showing the film.
The film also helped kickstart ‘Sweekar – The Rainbow Parents’, a support group for parents of LGBTQ+ children. It now has more than 500 members spread across several cities in India.
