Bollywood entertainer spiced with Dance, Drama and Desire!
India's first film on drag queens is an Award winning film that is being hailed as a 'cult film'.
Two transsexuals and a gay teenager seduce a handsome hunk using all their charms and some dance moves too. Who will the hunk bed?
A comic romp which ends in tragedy, The Pink Mirror, for the first time peeps into the Indian homosexual closet and discovers some touching bonds and relationships.
A huge festival hit, having screened at over 70 international festivals and won several top honors, the film is also considered an invaluable addition to University Libraries as a resource material on queer asian cinema and gender studies.

Intimate, sad and humorous simultaneously, Gulabi Aaina, deals with a historical friendship in the purest Bollywood style. Music, songs, choreography enhance a love tangle of a very special quartet. An excellent example of Indian cinema, and it is surprising to know that it has been prohibited in its country.
~ Daniel Prada | Film Critic on gaybarcelona.net
Sridhar Rangayan's two-year-old short feature "The Pink Mirror," one of the most delightful films in the festival, was the first film about transvestites ever made in India and is banned in its native land. Bitchy banter, drama queen drama, handsome studs, dances and songs--and a dose of grim, health-related reality (to a melodramatic motif from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly")--fill its 40 minutes.

To me Gulabi Aaina seems like bridging a gap between say, Fire and Bombay Boys, more so its in Hindi, that in my opinion is adding that breadth of reality that people seem to bypass, the language of the masses... it reminds me of Benegal's Mandi, the black comedy, which is less of a story and more of character plays set in an unashamed, gaudily portrayed, in-your-face bordello.

Since the only 'review' is provided by the distributer, let me at least warn unsuspecting customers of how truly awful this film is. I got it from the library and so wasn't suckered out of any $ to watch it, but still felt cheated of the 40 minutes of my life (the entire film's running time) I sat through. While the production values are adequate (barely), this is really a very stereoptypical and cliched view of one small corner of the Indian homosexual milieu, namely two homely overweight drag queens who roll their eyes and engage in bitchy banter non-stop, while vying for the affection of a dumb would-be actor. It might provide some small sociological value as one of the few Hindi films depicting gay life, but trust me - it doesn't exactly promote tolerance or understanding. And it offensively has to trot out an AIDS diagnosis towards the end to provide some sort of emotional response.
