"A Nice Indian Boy"

Finding the right partner is one of the hardest things to do in life, and director Roshan Sethi‘s “A Nice Indian Boy” captures a same-sex, interracial love story in the most tender and honest way. This film has everything you’d ever want in a traditional rom-com, from sincere performances, a touching story, and charismatic characters, to a vibrant identity that’s very funny, romantic, and sweet.…

Roshan Sethi, Karan Soni, Zarna Garg and Sunita Mani talked about working with Jonathan Groff:

Zarna Garg: I play the mom in this movie. In many parts of the movie, I'm disappointed in my kids, which comes naturally to me. I have three kids, and I'm disappointed in them everyday. I think it was a very real life character. I have a very dumb, stupid, obtuse husband, who is also a very typical Indian man. This can't get me canceled, right? He's getting a massage right now, so he won't know.

But it felt so real. It felt like a movie whose time has come. And of course, this team right here? Led by a doctor - what more could you want in your first movie? Jonathan Groff added that little extra spice. Singing in Hindi? The world is not prepared for that.

Sunita Mani: We're calling him Jonathan Groff. He's Jonathan Groff in the movie; not a character.

Q: Was that was that some added appeal: getting to marry Kristoff from Frozen?

Karan Soni: It was. We can't imagine having done it with anyone but Jonathan. We're a real life couple of them, and when you're making a movie, you're just hoping it gets made. So, you don't think about all the weirdness that's going to happen in a shoot potentially.

As it was in pre-production, I remember us talking on the phone and being like, "We're about to shoot these scenes." And he's like, "Everyday, the crew is like, 'Are you going to be okay when Karan proposes him, and when he marries him, and when they do the sex scene, or when they kiss?'" And we had just not thought about it, really, because we're like, "How can we just get this movie made?"

And then as it was getting closer for me personally, I was like, "Oh, gosh, like this is a little bit weird that this is happening." And then we met Jonathan, and we literally were both in love with him. I like to say we formed an emotional throuple. We truly feel like he's our emotional third, and we couldn't have done it with anyone else. Yeah, it was very easy to work with them.

Roshan Sethi: I was so in doctor mode because I also work as a doctor, so I'm capable of retreating completely from real life and disappearing to some other place where I can be extremely objective. Because that's what you do in the hospital. I did that, in a way when they were doing it. I wasn't thinking at all of jealousy or any emotional reaction to what was happening. I was just completely in director mode. The only time that it became a little odd was the sex scene. That was a little weird, because I was directing the specifics of it to Jonathan and Karan, with the crew and the intimacy coordinator. The whole thing was really weird.

But again, I couldn't have imagined it with anyone other than Jonathan, because it is actually impossible to be threatened by Jonathan. He's the kindest, gentlest person. Everybody says it about him, and you assume that they're just insincere things being said in press, but he is literally the nicest person in the world. And he acts in no way as if he's aware of his fame or his many talents. He's just so gentle and easy to be around, so he made that very easy.

A Nice Indian Boy ('12'): A Gay version of "What's Love Got To Do With It?"

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "A Nice Indian Boy". A terrific gay rom-com that is both funny and moving. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “A Nice Indian Boy” (2024) (From the 2024 London Film Festival). You know the films at the LFF that go down well. Those that don’t fly get stony silence and the audience simply file out. Those that do fly get a round of applause. This, I’ve found, to be relatively rare and varying in volume depending on the love. “A Nice Indian Boy” – getting its International…
