A lot of people enjoy love stories, but why limit yourself to romantic stories between a guy and a girl? Love sees no gender; it’s a very natural and involuntary feeling. We often hear people saying ‘Love is love’ and that message should only get louder day by day, especially when it comes to gay love stories. As we all are under lockdown, it’s time to broaden our horizons with some beautiful Indian LGBTQ short films.
These might be short films, but they give out a strong and important message to everyone. I have listed my 5 favourite Indian LGBTQ short films that are available on YouTube and one must check them out:
Sisak

Love needs no language and this short film is the ultimate proof of the same. Sometimes, the eyes are enough to express the affection one feels for the other person, and also the pain. You will be hooked to the unspoken journey of two men and crave for more, just like the characters do. Some love stories paint magic, sorrow, longing and pain beautifully and Sisak is that tale for me.
Let Love Be
In 2 minutes 47 seconds, the film speaks a lot not only to the homophobes but also to those who are not living their life freely because of society’s judgement. Let Love Be tells us that it doesn’t always matter if the crowd accepts you or not, YOU have to be your crowd and accept yourself first.
Cliche
The short film might be titled Cliche but what we get to see is exactly opposite of what the word means! As Indians, the majority of our life’s decisions are taken by parents; including the life partners (it’s stupid though). However, in Cliche, we get to see a different side of a mother towards her son and we wish all Indian parents were this progressive and understanding. As the short film ends, you will have a smile on your face.
