Pariah

A new tenant in his home, the enigmatic Pankaj intrigues Rahul stirring within him a yearning he doesn't quite understand yet. But there's trouble brewing when Pankaj's caste becomes known to the family. Pankaj, at odds with his feelings for a guy that are twice tabooed, struggles to keep a roof over his head. Conflicted by his growing love for a man his family considers beneath them, Rahul must decide what truly matters – age old prejudices or the joy of first love.

Directed by Nishant Roy Bombarde, Pariah leans on a strong ensemble — Tanmay Dhanania, Sahil Mehta — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2022.
