Cobalt Blue

As a 60 year old gay man, I have grown to really appreciate gay love stories. It allows me to dream what my youth could have been if I had the courage and society permitted it. It makes it even more interesting if you could explore what it might have been like to experience same sex love in foreign culture. Also reminds me that I regret not yet traveling to India.

The movie stands true to its title. The blue aesthetic used in the movie unravels hidden meaning and the emotions of the main character Tanay. The struggles gay people went through in the 90s has been depicted with a poise. The movie circumventing around the struggles of generation and gender makes it stand out.

The laudable job from the cast and warm background music is icing on the cake.

A must watch if you have patience to watch a smooth and slow flowing movie.

What a stunning film and portrait of true love amidst horrible indoctrination of an outdated and injust system in India. This movie is absolutely brilliant as it captures beautifully the first love of a gay man and his sister who has been imprisoned by her parents.

A MUST WATCH!

Non-Indian reviewer here. Been waiting for almost half a year for this movie. Is it worth the wait? Yes it is THE BEST Netflix movie that releases this week although I wish it's longer. Compared to CMBYN and Badhaai Do this one has a faster pace. Although this also means not much is explored deeply especially in the second half which things progressed too quickly until the ending. But the target audience like myself should be really happy and satisfied with this movie, it has almost everything I want in a gay movie. Just not a masterpiece, sadly. But this is easily the best recent gay movie since Operation Hyacinth.

The background music is so unique and amazing ..... Realistic and good storytelling ,well acted by neelay mehendale , pratiek baber and anjali sivaram ,great casting , great cinematography and great kerla location ..... Loved it.... This called unique and growing cinema.....
