Express News Service Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele was released on Disney+ Hotstar on May 9. It happens to be among the few Indian films with LGBTQ+ protagonists. The film, which stars Anshuman Jha and Zareen Khan as its leads, revolves around a gay man and a lesbian woman who go on a road trip to have life-changing experiences. “The single biggest goal of this film was to convey the need for acceptance and respect beyond any social constructs of gender and sexuality,” Anshuman says. Before this release, Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele had its world premiere at the HBO South Asian International Film Festival in New York, where it won the Audience Choice Award. Anshuman feels gratified that the film was accepted with open arms in a city that has the highest LGBTQ+ population. “The film festival experience was encouraging. It showed us we have made a film that connects with the audience,” says Anshuman, who cherishes the experience of audience interactions.
