MA (GAY) HEAVEN: AMAZON PRIME SHOW SETS A NEW BENCHMARK FOR PORTRAYAL OF QUEER NARRATIV
Over drks many months ago, an anonymo sir told me about a WIP weddg-themed show wh a meaty gay character (who had a meatier storyle). In the past, Bollywood’s treatment of homosexualy has been both over-the-top and unr-the-belt. Te, the 2019 cycle of reprentatn has been inic – om Shelly Chopra Dhar’s Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga explorg a lbian love story, to Sridhar Rangayan’s Eveng Shadows, a touchg tale about a cy-bred man g out to his small-town mother – but they me wh their fair share of triggers.
Ma Heaven is a bge worthy show about rich society wife Tara Khanna (Sobha Dhulipala) and her gay bs partner/iend Karan Mehra (played effortlsly by (a rather straight) Arjun Mathur (I know bee I checked), who solve s plan weddgs, while alg wh the trials and tribulatns of their own personal liv – philanrg hbands, snoopy landlords and bone-breakg loan sharks, to name a few. And this is where Arjun Mathur steps up and pletely chang the game as an actor playg a strong, sensible gay man.
He’s your everyday gay man™. The everyday gay man™ plays vio gam wh the same enthiasm he shows attendg queer soire. And there’s no token gay man here, there’s a spectm of gay men – gay men who are about to be married, gay men who are already married, gay men who are same-sex marriag, and gay men who never want to get married.
