Abstract

Against  the  background  of  successful  developmental  scenario  in  Indian Cinema my  paper will discusses Indian Queer Identity in  the context of some movies like Dostana, Fire, The Pink Mirror(Hindi), Randu Penkuttikal, Sancharram (Malayalam) etc which depict the notion of interpreting homosexuality is a threat to the nation where homosexuals are scorned, discriminated, victimized and criminalized. It will also explore that how media, culture and society categorized the gender and sexual identities, which are not fixed, because identities consist of many varied components and that to categorize by one characteristic is wrong. It will reveal the effective ways and means to deal with LGBT problems/challenges, and an understanding of its legality and illegality under section 377 of the Indian penal code that they can become the main stream part of culture.
