CGiii Comment

AJEEB AASHIQ / STRANGE LOVE chronicles shape shifting in a city that constantly changes. A stylish working class transgender man, Khush transforms his female body. The film chronicles his journey of becoming a man against the backdrop of friendship and heartbreak.

A musician, Suman longs to realise her creative voice away from the Bollywood industry. Post a relationship break-up, she explores her artistic practice through active engagement and critique of hetero-patriarchy. Khush and Suman’s lives intersect in a contemporary portrait of Mumbai. Unrequited love, betrayal, and friendship underlie the larger narrative of city hustle in the thriving megalopolis known as maximum city.

AJEEB AASHIQ / STRANGE LOVE investigates how attitudes to love, sex and relationship are informed by the entertainment industry. The intimate gaze paints the portrait of a city hanging in the balance, skewed by poverty and class divide on the one hand, united on the other hand by the characters’ longing and pursuit of a utopia.
