Evening Shadows

Just saw this amazing film with an expertly written screenplay, a stellar cast, and beautiful cinematography. It touches on so many issues (patriarchy, homophobia, parent-child relationship, etc.) and has so much depth. It's also touching and moving. With India's top court's recent historical ruling to decriminalize homosexuality, this film is timely.

Evening Shadows is a film that made me happy, made me sad, gave insight to reflect upon and to see ahead towards a beautiful future, all at the same time.

It's beautifully made and indeed a beautiful film. The story, the cast and the direction made it real and sureal. I could relate to numerous Aman's and Kartik's around us and within us; within me. The film made me happy because it gives a voice, depicts, challenges and changes a certain line of thought still prevalent in our society. I was sad that such a beautiful film from India was released out of India; why? wins accolades around the world and is still unheard in our mainstream film world, why does this film not make to our awards; Why? A lot needs to still change.

This film is not just a story its an insight to all Aman's and Kartik's world, it's a reflection that we need a change, actually is a wake-up call and is a path to look ahead. I wish there is a sequel to Evening Shadows and is called may be 'The New Dawn'. Who knows🙂 it may happen.

I thank Sridhar for giving the world this masterpiece.

Such a touching and moving film about a boys struggle to reconcile himself with the very different expectations of his parents. I thought the film captured much of the angst and tortured expression between mother and son, father and son and the complementary dynamics with other family members, quite astutely. Beautifully shot in periurban Karnataka, the landscape shots are as engrossing and captivating as the dialogue. Kudos, an important film who's time is long overdue.

First of all big congrats to the crew with special mention to screenplay,edit,cinematography and actors especially Mona ji. Its really huge leap from caricature portrayal of queer in Indian movies to sensible,subtle ,confident and goal oriented queer individuals .The apt sketch of a mother's emotional turmoil from disdaining mother to accepting person is mesmerizing. every possible movie geek must watch.

Just watched the movie.... Beautifully made, very touching and so many emotionally moving scenes resonated with me, and am sure they did resonate likewise with a lot many people who watched the movie..... a very big heart felt thank you to the makers for making this movie! Makes me feel hopeful that in the kind of scenario as depicted in the story, a happy-ending could be possible, after all!
