A heartwarming story of love, family & bonds that last forever

Directed by Sai Deodhar

'Na Aavadti Goshta' centers on a traditional Maharashtrian household upended when one of two sisters comes out as queer. As her unexpected confession sends ripple effects through the traditional family structure, the household must confront their long-held taboos and biases. The narrative chronicles the sisters' changing dynamic alongside their parents' journey from initial resistance to compassionate understanding. Instead of focusing on tragic themes or external violence, the plot uses a lighthearted, slice-of-life comedy approach to showcase how love and empathy can bridge generational divides. Ultimately, it emphasizes the vital role familial support plays in the lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
