Product Description
A Bollywood Entertainer with a difference - India's first film on drag queens!A comic-tragic evening with two Indian drag queens and a gay teenager as they attempt to seduce a handsome bisexual hunk.Apart from being a drag romp set a la Bollywood entertainer with song and dance routines, the film is an exposition of the Indian gay landscape, the humanly tender bonds between drag queens in India who form unique, non-patriarchal families and the lurking impact of HIV/AIDS.The film draws interesting comparisons between indigenous Indian Drag Queens who are a vanishing clan and the contemporary young gays of Bombay city's queer culture with borrowed western gay identity.NOTE: THIS DVD PRICE IS ONLY FOR PERSONAL HOME VIEWING. PUBLIC SCREENINGS OF ANY SORT NEEDS PRIOR PERMISSION FROM PRODUCER. INSTITUTIONS PLEASE CONTACT PRODUCER FOR SCREENING RIGHTS WITHIN CAMPUS AND FESTIVALS.

 Intrigue and Indian Drag October 14, 2008

"The Pink Mirror"
Intrigue and Indian Drag
Amos Lassen
Two Indian drag queens and a teenager are at odds over the same handsome guy. Unlike the drag queens, the teenager is Western and so "The Pink Mirror" comes across as a clash of East vs. West. The drag queens are glib, witty and adept at the art of seduction; the teen is sly and sexual. What the film really looks at is the Indian gay scene and the way drag queens share a special bond in India.
Of our drag queens, loud and raucous Bibbo is a Bollywood fashion designer and malicious while Shabbo is soft, sensual and malicious. They are both in their late 30's and are as passionate as they are desperate. They share a unique bond but it changes at will. At one moment they are best friends and "sisters" and at another they fight lie cats in heat. When handsome Samir comes into their lives, Bibbo pretends to be the aspiring actor's driver (even though she/he does not have a car). When Shabbo sees Samir she attempts to seduce him right in front of Bibbo. But Bibbo has some information on Shabbo which she will use if need be.
Now into the picture comes Mandy, a young Westerner who claims to be gay and has his eyes focused tightly on Samir and he is direct in his seduction of the hunk. As to who wins Samir will only be disclosed if you see the film so get a copy.
There is reality in this film and while it may not be mine, many will be able to identify with the happenings. The acting, at times, leaves much to be desired, the subtitles are not perfect and the references to HIV are off a bit and contrived but on the whole, I really enjoyed "The Pink Mirror".
 Intimate, sad and humorous June 18, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Intimate, sad and humorous simultaneously, Gulabi Aaina, deals with a historical friendship in the purest Bollywood style. Music, songs, choreography enhance a love tangle of a very special quartet. An excellent example of Indian cinema, and it is surprising to know that it has been prohibited in its country.
~ Daniel Prada | Film Critic on gaybarcelona.net
Sridhar Rangayan's two-year-old short feature "The Pink Mirror," one of the most delightful films in the festival, was the first film about transvestites ever made in India and is banned in its native land. Bitchy banter, drama queen drama, handsome studs, dances and songs--and a dose of grim, health-related reality (to a melodramatic motif from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly")--fill its 40 minutes.
~ Bruce-Michael Gelbert | FireIsland Qnews
To me Gulabi Aaina seems like bridging a gap between say, Fire and Bombay Boys, more so its in Hindi, that in my opinion is adding that breadth of reality that people seem to bypass, the language of the masses... it reminds me of Benegal's Mandi, the black comedy, which is less of a story and more of character plays set in an unashamed, gaudily portrayed, in-your-face bordello.
