You don't often see movies tagged "gay" and "buddhist" when searching for a light-hearted comedy on a Friday night, but that is exactly how this film captures a unique niche so perfectly!
Nazanin Mandi as Savarna, and Marshall Manesh as her somewhat confused but sympathetic father, headline the cast in this original take on Indian parental angst.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this endearing little movie, that explored coming out, Buddhism, IVF with a friend, and a host of other issues without ever taking itself too seriously.
Matt Richards as Savarna's' sympathetic friend Jackson, ready to donate his sperm for a good cause, is hilarious in a nice understated performance.
But it is Mandi as Savarna who really lights up the screen with her brooding good looks, impossible hair styles and mysterious eyes that make it impossible for the viewer to turn away whenever she is on screen.
In the end it's all about family and a very special little girl who might be more just the family's salvation.
Give this little gem a spin!
