The way our elders try to protect us from anything that shows too much skin, might make some people wonder how we were even born. But hey, you and me, were born and that is the end of the story.
Nevertheless, it is in our blood to be focused on something, which our parents would never approve of. So if you’re looking for something along those lines, then here is a list of online streaming.
- Un-freedom
This film released in 2015 deals with lesbian relationships, just like Deepa Mehta’s ‘Fire’ in 1996. However, both the films were banned when they were first released, but after some protests, they were released.
- The Pink Mirror (Gulaabi Aaina)
This film portrays the life of transsexuals, but this brave effort was ruined by the CFBC because, clearly, they couldn’t handle such a blunt portrayal. The film was, thus banned. However, it is available on Netflix.

We will drink it, but later, first let’s concentrate on matter at hand. This is the second movie of the trilogy by Deepa Mehta. The film deals with unorthodox practices that widows are subjected to many parts of India, even today.

An eight-episode long web series deals with the sensitive topic of ‘sex education’ in India. Sex is a taboo topic in India that should be conferred frankly.
