Starring: Jonathan Groff, Karan Soni, Sunita Mani, Zarna Garg
One to watch is the film by director Roshan Sethi --- A NICE INDIAN BOY ---which will screen at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival in the Narrative Spotlight section.
Self-effacing doctor Naveen Gavaskar meets Jay Kurundkar, a white man adopted by two Indian parents, when Jay takes his picture at the hospital. Despite initial skepticism on Naveen’s part, the two quickly fall in love. Naveen avoids telling his traditional family—parents Megha & Archit and sister Arundhathi—who accepted his sexuality years earlier and are close to him but increasingly don’t know much about his life. Eventually, inevitably, Jay, with no family of his own, has to meet the Gavaskars, who have never met a boyfriend of Naveen's. What follows is the comedic & heartfelt collision between the family, Jay, and Naveen, caught between the versions of himself his family and Jay know.
