I don't know what I was expecting with Brahman Naman, but it was unlike any other Indian film I've ever seen.
It is a teen sex comedy set in the 80's. It's the Indian Superbad or American Pie with major homage to John Hughes movies, too.
Naman is the leader of his Bangalore college quiz team, and the leader of nerds in the same way Anthony Michael Hall was the leader of his group of nerds in Sixteen Candles. They delight in throwing trivia at each other and quoting Noel Coward.
The film opens with Naman waking up in the middle of the night to masturbate in the refrigerator door, wrapping his arms around the appliance to held the door tight. Really.
The film is mostly all in... |
