The parents told Yuvraaj to leave their home and never to return. They were embarrassed by the shame that was brought up on their family for playing the character of a queer south Asian. The parents of one of the cast member, Yuvraaj, went to court to disown their son. After the film released, there were many controversies. This was the first film in which there were portrayals of South Asian queers kissing and making love. I did some research and found out that in 2010, an Indian film named DUNNO Y…NA JAANE KYUN, directed by Sanjay Sharma, was premiered in Mumbai International Queer Film Festival. If the film was screened to a larger audience in South Asia, especially, the film would have caused national controversies since queer issues in association with south Asians are not well received by the South Asian community. Still Life With was a short narrative so the amount of people who have viewed the film is little. I have not seen a single mainstream film in Bollywood or Hollywood that displays south Asian queer issues. Queer south Asian issues are not usually portrayed in films since the idea of queer south Asians is not well accepted by the south Asian community. The film explores the issues a south Asian women faces with her family for being in a relationship with another women. Most of us have seen the short film Still Life With directed by Ami Patel in the family shorts program during the film festival.
