Today I watched all the episodes of the series Still about section 377 on Sony channel. It is indeed a very brave and heart touching story. The story made me laugh, cry and think. I literally had a lump in my throat in many scenes. The show is extremely sensitive and so beautiful that I don't think there is any other gay/transgender show like this. All the actors are so good, Gulshan Nain, Ankit Bhatia, Gunjan Malhotra, Bhakti and Amit Khanna, also I loved dadi, Chottu, chachi and other oldies. The story, poems and direction are outstanding and this show is truly a masterpiece. Amit Khanna is extremely cute and his emotions are real he has acted and directed this show and no one else could do a better job than him, Ankit Bhatia looks very hot, Gulshan is very mature, Gunjan is very innocent, Bhakti is very good and she reads poems very well, Chottu is very funny. Please watch this show everyone must watch it, it will touch your soul

Such a wonderful storyline. Especially i could related so much to being from North India and how the people react. I have seen the abuses related to the Trans community. I did enjoy all episodes and the final episode was just AWESOME and the last scene was goodness. Hats off to the makers and creating such awareness where we can relate to it.

Watched all the episodes! Really loved it with heart. This is something that would really hold up the audience eyes with a new perspective.. Raising huge respect to the director and the team itself. I have been fan of many characters on the go throughout the series!🌹😊

The story is about an urban gay guy coming to village, so to make his boyfriend realise his love for him who is going to get married to another girl due to societal and family pressure. Set in the backdrop of village it sets the field right with its opening episodes itself capturing the stereotypes well. And here the masterstroke is sidestory of bhakti an ennuch.

The series does justice to its plot and message with well written nuanced characters, tight screenplay , stellar performances by the cast. The romance bw Sid and rohit, dadi and chottu sweet bond, bhakti's back story , innocence of sid's fiance all captures the interest of viewers. But the beauty of the series is its smooth transition bw comedy , sensitivity , drama and emotion

Special mention has to be given to the songs and poetry that add depth to the characters and plot.

But the biggest drawback of the series is the coming out scene which was rather get so easily sort down away from reality. another problem is with the way the suspense of sid's uncle gets revealed . My ratings would be like 8.8 extras only for its bold concept

This story of an urban gay couple that finds itself in a remote village of Punjab hoping to stop one of the partner's shaadi in the nick of time and win over his orthodox family is peppered with extremely real, tangible, finely nuanced characters - each with back stories that develop and touch a chord.

From a homophobic chacha who who has a dark secret behind closed doors to his wife with vitiligo suffering in silence, never having felt the love of a husband yet content that she has found a wonderful family in her sasuraal ... a 'thug life' daadi whose unfulfilled wishes include phoonkoing gaanja, having whiskey from a steel gilaas in broad daylight in front of her entire family bcoz 'kisiko pata thodi na chalega' to watching adult filmein on the cellphone of a newly made young male friend. A tough-to-please mother with a stiff countenance and major traditional conditioning who must gradually wrap herself around her son's alternate orientation to an ex-army officer papa who was never around to figure how his son was shaping up, yet is far more relaxed about accepting anyone his son chooses to love.

Last but far from being the least is a kinnar Bhakti, ostracized by society to the extent of being denied medical help when she lands up at a clinic with a cut, bleeding finger. Her situation as well as her rare poetic talents land her the friendship of a handsome young straight man visiting town who she begins to lose her heart to ... the graph of her emotions and the delicate dynamics between the two are bound to tug at your heart strings and make you reach out for your kerchiefs.

Above it all, the show belongs to Amit Khanna, as an actor, who is successful in making you fall in love with a pansy, overweight gay man ... a protoype very often judged and bullied by society. With expressions that are just right, moments of vulnerability enacted with graceful subtlety and all the saucy sass n eye rolling diva-liciousness of a pakka queen, this adorable character grows on you right from the first frame just as he grows on his boyfriend's family. With a deft stroke, he smashes the stereotype that to be accepted and loved in society, a gay man must be heteronormative or 'straight acting' in his conduct.

Gulshan Nain and Ankit Bhatia as the brother and boyfriend are the show's drool quotient with their rippling muscles, handsome faces and endearing personalities ... but they're WAY more than being just eye candy. Both are sincere, sensitive, earnest actors who have done their bits well and have all the makings of being absorbed by mainstream Bollywood.

And even with so much messaging and layering packed in, what's marvelous about the season is that every episode is sprinkled with oodles of tongue-in-cheek wit, doesnt take itself too seriously and has the ability to laugh at itself and life in general. I am dazzled by a queer piece of fiction after long ... Was it Daaravtha that did it for me last? Or maybe that rare gem of a short film where a Marathi mother stands by her gay son in the face of abusive corrupt traffic cops, giving them a colorful mouthful? Kudos to Amit Khanna once again!
