Bombay Dost invites you to the launch of the screenplay of Onir's debut
feature film 'My Brother Nikhil' (Publisher: Yoda Press). The lead actors of
the film, Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Suri, and Onir will be present for the
launch.
*About the film/screenplay:* Set between 1987 and 1994, the film traces the
life of Nikhil Kapoor: the state all-round swimming champion. A committed
sportsman, Nikhil’s life changes radically when he finds out that he is
HIV-positive. Even as he faces harassment from authorities and heartbreaking
rejection from his parents, the only two people who stand by him in his
fight for justice, life, love and dignity are his sister Anamika and his
boyfriend Nigel.
Published for the first time, the screenplay of this powerful yet poignant
film, brings Nikhil’s story back for its fans with the same intensity as the
motion picture. The text of the film is supported by stills from the film,
as well as short pieces by the director Onir and actor Sanjay Suri about how
this path-breaking film, the first mainstream Hindi film about a homosexual
individual, was made and how it changed their lives for ever.
*About Onir:* Onir has written the story and screenplay, besides of course
directing 'My Brother Nikhil'. His other films as director include 'Bas Ek
Pal' and 'Sorry Bhai'. Onir has also been a film editor and producer. He was
born (on on 1 May 1969) as Onirban Dhar in a small town in Bhutan. In 1986,
he moved to Kolkata where he studied comparative literature. He graduated
from Jadavpur University in 1989. He can speak Bengali, Russian, German and
Tamil. Onir is an Indian film director, editor, writer and producer.
Onir's latest film is 'I Am' which consists of four short films exploring
such themes as child abuse and same-sex relationships.
