Peepshow ft s i s a k

Sisak, India's first Silent LGBTQ Film, is set in the fast-paced environs of the usually bustling Mumbai local train system. It details a romance that develops slowly and intoxicatingly, nestled in the silences and quiet comforts of the end-of-day train journeys.

Besides what is seen on screen, there is a great sociopolitical underpinning to Sisak’s content. Knowing that romantic relationships beyond the purview of heteronormativity are not legal (nor decriminalized, as was once the case following the Delhi High Court judgment).

The cinema reflects the ethos of most film projects worldwide which show an individual journey of coming to terms with and expressing one’s sexuality.
