Today, we have Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan releasing in theatres. The film is based on homosexual relationships and how two boys fight for their love and try to change the regressive mindset of their families and others. The film aims to tell people, especially homophobes that being in love with the person of the same s*x is normal just like falling in love with the person of opposite s*x.

Well, if you cannot make it to the theatres today and still want to watch out for a beautiful love story between two men, there is nothing better than Call Me By Your Name. The film, based on André Aciman’s book of the same name is a love story between two men – Elio (played by Timothée Chalamet) and Oliver (played by Armie Hammer).

Released in 2017, CMBYN is considered as one of the masterpieces depicting the purity of love and relationship between two men. The story is set in 1983, in Italy. Elio is spending good summertime with his parents in Lombardy, Italy. One day, Oliver enters their life as he is an intern working for Elio’s father. From the beginning, we can sense there’s spark between the two of them. Elio is a pianist and Oliver is impressed with his skills. There’s a scene when Elio is playing the piano and Oliver admiringly looks at him from a distance. The moment Elio figures out he’s watching, he stops but starts playing again as Oliver insists him. This is one of my favourite scenes in the film. The eyes talk, the heart is pounding, but you don’t know how to speak and express feelings. The film blesses us with many such steal-a-glance scenes which will leave a smile on your face.

However, after a lot of drama, jealousy and confusions, Elio and Oliver come closer and their love on the screen looks like a fine painting that has come to life! They have a mature and sensual relationship that makes me crave for a love like that. Of course, the direction takes the credit here and the screenplay for this fantastic and engaging storytelling.
