What would be a good starting point? Badnaam Basti? This was a film from 1971 that had a homosexual couple, two men, and did not seek to laugh at them, nor demonise them. Since then we have had My Brother Nikhil and Dostaana, but is there a line that can be drawn from one to the other? Can one begin with Love, Sex Aur Dhokha? That was truly an original film that located love in the time of the post-modern; it ain’t love until it has been recorded somewhere and turned into a figment of virtual reality. But take the end of Daag, 1973, in which it seems as if the three corners of the love triangle are about to implode and end in a centroid, which, in France, might be described as a menage a trois.
