WATCH: In a sleepy village in Western India, two fisherman fall for each other in this swoon-worthy love story
Katlaa Curry is a sweeping romance about tradition and prejudice, the journey to self-discovery, and the small things in life that bring us closer.In this case, that “small thing” is the titular dish, a local fish delicacy.
As Raaymal helps Ratan get back on his feet, the latter expresses his gratitude by making the curry for his new friend, even though he’s a vegetarian himself.
As they spend more time together, Raaymal comes to realize Ratan is secretly struggling with his sexuality, which inspires him to look inward and question his own feelings and beliefs.
The two find they have a electric chemistry, which neither can deny.Unfortunately, societal pressures and family obligations get in the way, and Raaymal reluctantly marries Kumati (Kinnary Panchal), putting distance between him and Ratan to protect both of their hearts, which only brings pain and hurt to all of their lives.Days, weeks, and months pass, and it slowly becomes clear that Raaymal can’t deny his true feelings—his true self—for much longer, setting him down the path toward a reunion with Ratan.Katlaa Curry is only the second gay love story to hail from Gujarat, the Western coastal state of India.
