Kuch Sapney Apne

Well made film with good intentions. Good acting, especially by the actors playing Kartik and the father. The film is a bit of a glimpse into the life of an urban gay couple and their relationship with small town parents. Good music and a feel good sort of film. It does get slightly preachy at times. The father suddenly turning a new leaf and a 180 degrees was a bit hard to digest but it was needed to wrap up the story positively. The movie will help non lgbtq folks understand the issues that the lgbt Indian community goes through. The film should be available on streaming platforms to reach a wider audience.

Kuch Sapney Apne not only includes very timely universal messages of the importance of love, family, acceptance, human rights and deals with themes of homophobia, stigma, discrimination, and misogyny in a way that is sadly relevant to too many countries and cultures around the world. Despite these very serious topics, the film manages to raise awareness and educate in a very entertaining non-preachy way and is packed with drama and plot twists and beautiful Indian songs. The acting by both veterans and first-time actors is first-rate and the scenery in Stockholm as well as in India is gorgeous. People who watched the earlier film "Evening Shadows" (about a young gay man from South India coming out to his parents) will recognize the characters and enjoy watching their growth during the past 5 years. However, if you somehow missed Evening Shadows, Kuch Sapney Apne and its plot are still easy to follow. I hope this movie is widely distributed, including in theaters internationally, as well as on streaming platforms.

" Kuch Sapney Apne " is more satisfying, sensible, authentic, articulate , sensitive, than the most movies currently being screened in the city.

Maintains a reasonable sense of feel good with a positive outlook .

Brilliant performances , good music score by Vishal Bharadwaj, and all coherently held together by good Writing and Direction.

Emotions are well balanced throughout the movie, and maybe on an odd occasion or two , go just slightly over the top , but that is hardly noticeable. For most part, one sails through the movie as smoothly as can be possible.

Never makes one squirm and want to run out .

Thanks for a nice experience 🙂

Kuch Sapney Apne (2024) is a breath of fresh air in the Indian film industry. Although this is a a queer centric film with a queer centric cast and crew, the core message and meaning remains about love, connection and relationships. Despite being a sequel, this film stands alone as a touching story centered around the life of Aman. The actors compelling performances will keep audiences hooked into its intricately woven story, with various plot lines blurring into each other. LGBTQ+ representation is sorely needed now more than ever and this film should be the opening discussion for closed minded people.

The director has effectively explored multiple facets of human relationships. Each character is connected with one another beautifully. The film flows well and is engaging. It feels as if we are not watching fiction, but peoples lives unfolding in front of us. The film is going to be loved by audiences who enjoy watching good cinema, films which have substance. All of the actors have portrayed their characters to perfection. From the charismatically gleeful mother to the close minded and misogynistic father, each role is engaging and entertaining to watch on screen. An equally great film as Evening Shadows. One of Shishir Sharmas best performances!
