This is not a great film as others have suggested, but if viewed in the cultural context in which it is set, it does represent a step forward. The story is more about the family's acceptance of the gay son, and less about a relationship or chemistry between the son and his partner. Unfortunately, it is not likely to find wide global appeal but will probably find its niche audience in India. The dialog and cultural stereotyping and cliches that drive the film are just not relatable to other audiences, in fact, the dialog would just seem silly to someone from a western culture. It does however, represent a good start for this type of film from that country still struggling with change on all fronts.
