Yes, I saw the movie.
We should wait till the climax seen, only then it is revealed that Prithvi is Gay. Unlike other movies, where gay characters doesn't have strong impact on the story line, this movie has a major twist bcoz the result of investigation which starts in the beginning of the movie will halt at a gay love story of Prithvi, who plays a lead roll in the movie. The story is well narrated and holds your interest till the end. Must try!!!

Yes, you read that right, this is the same ridiculously hunky Prithvirajwho was the lust object in the film Aiyyaa (written and directed, as it happens, by an openly gay director who clearly knew how to pick a proper object of lust). I haven't seen the film, but from the reviews and comments I've read it seems that, sadly, the idea of Prithviraj playing a gay character is pretty much the only good thing about the film from a gay point of view. But it would be good to get views from someone who has actually seen it. I certainly plan to, when the dvd is released later this month. The Mumbai Police of the title are not really policemen from Mumbai. They are three police guys from Kerala, but who worked with the force in Mumbai for a while and have picked up the nickname since. Prithviraj is one of them and has to investigate the murder of another one of the three, but is somewhat hampered by the fact he was in an accident and lost his memory. The links below will give more of an idea of the film, which apparently was a big hit in the Malayalam market. But if anyone has actually seen it, please mail in about what you thought about it, how Prithviraj handled being a gay character, how other gay characters, if any, were handled, and do you see the film as good or bad for lgbt rights? http://starscrutiny.wordpress.com/2013/05/12/mumbai-police-a-review/ http://malayalamscinema.blogspot.com/2013/05/review-mumbai-police.html http://petalsfromtheheart.blogspot.in/2013/05/mumbai-police-movie-review-prithviraj.html\\ http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-05-19/news-and-interviews/39369368_1_character-mumbai-police-prithviraj http://www.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/slide-show-1-south-i-had-no-qualms-playing-a-gay-cop-prithviraj/20130528.htm http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-mumbai-police-is-impressive/20130506.htm Vikram
