Bollywood Director Hopes First Gay Male Kiss Passes Censors Read more: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7017710589#ixzz0eUe04pvL

India (CNS) - A Bollywood director is getting ready to release the first serious gay movie in India, complete with the first real male gay kiss. The director is hoping the kiss will get past the censors. A law against homosexuality in India was only overturned last year.The film, "Dunno Y," tells the story of a struggling model who goes to Mumbai to try and make it before entering into an intimate relationship with another man. The depiction of gay life in Mumbai includes kissing, gay parties, and even drag queens.
First-time director Sanjay Sharma is sure to court controversy with his serious portrayal of a gay relationship as homosexuality is still taboo in the region. But the director says he's not too worried.
"At the moment I'm not thinking about any political or censor problems," Sharma said to the BBC Asian Network. But he also hopes to see it released in English. "The censors will be more liberal," he says.
"Dunno Y" is expected to release in May.
