Set between 1987 and 1994, the film traces the life of
Nikhil Kapoor: the state all-round swimming champion.
A committed sportsman, Nikhil`s life changes radically
when he finds out that he is HIV-positive. Even as he
faces harassment from authorities and heartbreaking
rejection from his parents, the only two people who
stand by him in his fight for justice, life, love and dignity
are his sister Anamika and his boyfriend Nigel.
Published for the first time, the screenplay of this
powerful yet poignant film, brings Nikhil`s story back for
its fans with the same intensity as the motion picture.
The text of the film is supported by stills from the film,
as well as short pieces by the director Onir and actor
Sanjay Suri about how this pathbreaking film, the first
mainstream Hindi film about a homosexual individual,
was made and how it changed their lives for ever.isbn-9789380403014
