But this planned sex date takes an unexpected twist and the interactions between Andy and Harry go beyond physical pleasure bringing out questions that need to be answered, truths that need to be accepted and a life that stands to be reckoned. "Amen" makes two characters meet, experience hope amidst confusion, explore truths about sexuality and the self and delves into the profound meaning of life in the continuum of its trifles.The film reflect the diversity of issues that the community continues to face — from social prejudices to the predicament of acknowledging their sexuality.[3][4][5][6] Reviews and AppreciationThe film is inspired from the life of the human right activist Harish Iyer.[7][8] Amen explores gay relationship like no other movie has done before. It teaches the world that life does not allow one to choose his sexuality, you're born with it.[9] Amen strives to be unapologetically accurate in its depiction of gay relationships, and the intricacies and challenges faced by gay individuals in India today. The dynamics of how we accept our sexual orientation and live with it in contemporary society are poignantly shown in the movie, which provokes thought about how we form our identity based on ourselves, our past experiences and our society. The short also stirs up questions in the viewer's mind – why are we still afraid to accept our own feelings, learn how to go beyond the traumas of our own pasts and learn to go with the flow.[10] Amen is also part of the DVD archived at the Kinsey Institute, Indiana University [11] In 2011 Amen was selected as the only Indian film on the Iris Prize, also known as the 'gay Oscars',[12] list of 30 top LGBT films from across the globe.[13][14] CastKaran Veer Mehra[15][16][17][18] – HarryJitin Gulati[19] – Andy Madhusmita Sahoo - Tina (voice) ControversiesAmen fell into controversy with Central Board of Film Certification and the struggle went on for six months until the short was granted permission to be released with an adult certificate by the review committee.[20][21][22][23][24][25] Film Festivals
