Acclaim
It was screened at numerous international film festivals including the Mumbai Queer Film Festival, but has only been shown in two venues in Sri Lanka, where homosexuality is illegal.
The film is Chandrasekaram's feature-length debut. He said in an interview with Fridae that "The film is typical in many ways of the experience of LGBT in Sri Lanka, typical of the experience that I myself had.”
