Dunno Y… Na Jaane Kyon is a film that defies description. Nothing I say can fully convey to you the experience of actually watching it.

The film deals with the happenings in the DSouza household in the first half but it changes track at interval point so that the gay angle of the story takes precedence over all else in the second half.

“Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyun” ambitiously tries to be India’s answer to “Brokeback Mountain”. Unfortunately, to even refer to “Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyun” as a film would be stretching the truth.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know

Dunno Y…Na Jaane Kyon (English: Don't Know Why) is a 2010 Indian film. The film was directed by Sanjay Sharma and written by his brother Kapil Sharma who also played the lead. It premiered in April 2010 at India's first mainstream gay film festival, the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival. It features the first gay kiss in Indian cinema between Yuvraaj Parashar and Kapil Sharma. Two young men fall in love with each other but struggle to come to terms on how best to comfortably and securely express it in public. Between family pressures and social taboo on the matter, the fictional gay couple remains closeted lovers and patiently await the day a love as special as theirs may be understood and shared with the world without fear of any backlash.
