Spotlight Review

The plot is a common one where two contemporary actresses are fighting for a big budget film of an A-list director. Both actresses play their own cards to bag the role, but the moment Priya Chopra (played by Simran) gets the firm, the other lead Sana (played by Tridha) plays the dirtiest trick. While shooting for a common film, Sana gets the hint that something is cooking between Priya and her make-up artist. Sana hires a detective to get to the truth and the detective brings her photographs of Priya making-out with her make-up artist/girlfriend! Sana releases these photographs in the media, which creates a lot of controversies.

Priya’s girlfriend is much in love with her, and since this revelation has put Priya’s career on stake, she suggests taking all the blame on herself, and asks Priya to remove her from the job and inform the same to the media. Priya is much touched by her girlfriend’s unconditional love and sacrifice.

We all know that Media and Entertainment industry is full of talented LGBTQ people, but we are still waiting for the day when this society will be more accepting, more tolerant and people would not be discriminated owing to their sexuality or gender definitions. Many people are living in the closet because there is a threat of losing professional grip. What Priya’s role has done in this web-series is inspiring, but it is still a fictional story.

Nonetheless, it is terrific to see that the content creators are not limiting themselves to gay men stories only but openly creating good lesbian themed content and representing their desires and loves in the right light.
