A nice Indian boy is a 2024 queer romantic comedy film directed by Roshan Sethi.
Based on Madhuri Shekar's play of the same name, the film follows Naveen (Karan Soni), an Indian-American doctor, who brings his fiancé Jay (Jonathan Groff), a white man adopted by Indian parents, to meet his traditional family.
The film humorously and poignantly explores cultural expectations and queer identity. The story combines elements of both the American rom-com and the Indian Bollywood film to create a new and much-needed type of love story.
A tender rom-com about love and marriage today, gay or straight, arranged or not. An original plot elevated to classic status by great comedy, well developed characters and excellent performances. You'll definitely laugh, and may cry too. Highly recommended.
The film had its international premiere at BFI London Film Festival on 15 October 2024, and it received the audience award at the 2024 Tasveer Film Festival and won the Sherzum Award at the 2024 Hamptons Film Festival.
