Cobalt Blue

Non-Indian reviewer here. Been waiting for almost half a year for this movie. Is it worth the wait? Yes it is THE BEST Netflix movie that releases this week although I wish it's longer. Compared to CMBYN and Badhaai Do this one has a faster pace. Although this also means not much is explored deeply especially in the second half which things progressed too quickly until the ending. But the target audience like myself should be really happy and satisfied with this movie, it has almost everything I want in a gay movie. Just not a masterpiece, sadly. But this is easily the best recent gay movie since Operation Hyacinth.

This is for niche audience, letme be clear from start. Its about events that lead to self discovery and change of your view about life and world.

In a traditional marathi family, a brother and sister fall in love with a same man who lives in their house as paying guest. Now there are a lot of good moments in it. Director showed his love for movies books in a very nice way.

Acting wise , both the leads played their roles well. They definitely will go far. Pratik babbar coulvde been better , i felt he was little undercooked.

Its a nice movie, about people who different from common crowd, be it careerwise or orientation wise. Do give it a watch and appreciate its team efforts.

As a 60 year old gay man, I have grown to really appreciate gay love stories. It allows me to dream what my youth could have been if I had the courage and society permitted it. It makes it even more interesting if you could explore what it might have been like to experience same sex love in foreign culture. Also reminds me that I regret not yet traveling to India.

Loved the cinematography-I have never seen Fort Kochi this beautiful in any movies - definitely has an eye for capturing stunning colours. Story is good and through the main character you do feel the emotions that he experiences.

Movie is a tad slow however, I enjoyed watching it.

A subtle movie that you will definitely be adoring throughout the watch and later on. Definitely in love with The Colour Blue after watching the film. The film is a work of art, hands down. Simple characters with relatable issues dealt by them, you will be appreciating the film. The entire thing about the film is so realistic, so convincing, it's definitely worth all the hype, appreciation and word of mouth.
