If you have not watched the trailer yet then make it now, because the trailer is very captivating and cast is brilliant.

But sadly, the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has given the promo an 'Adult' certificate, because the film talks about Section 377, which criminalises Sexual Activies Against the order of Nature, and also includes Homosexual acts. According to a leading daily, Hansal Mehta the director of the film said, "Homosexuality, which sadly continues to be a criminalised act in India and At a time when there's a need for discussion on the subject, we are being muted."
