Sisak | India's First Silent LGBTQ Love Story | Faraz Arif Ansari 

In the whole movie they were silent but their love was screaming through their eyes. They didn't touch each other but they were feeling each other through the air i just lived this💜💛💗🕉️.

I am straight. But it made me cry. Its so overwhelming. I can feel how one of my closest friend and brother would feel. My respect for him has increased. Beautiful protrayal of pure love !

Don't be afraid to be gay, if you're happy then don't allow people's beliefs or opinions to get you down, because in the end it's your life and your rules.🌈🌈

You could have written millions of books using all the worlds in every language of the world, but you couldn't be able to tell even the tiniest moment of this film... This is the one of the best love stories in entire film history. Very sad to know that there are countless silent and un-lived love stories, even maybe right in our circle of people. I will never forget the way your film made me feel and cry. Thank you for this masterpiece and please know that the persons who watched your work are definitely very lucky to share it. And Murakami! Ahh what an impresive and intense detail. Congratulations!

I can't even imagine what is the mentality of those people who disliked this beautiful creation..!! love is the worst thing to be hated..!!

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, just one person, then there’s salvation in life.” - Murakami

This is incredibly pure, I was feeling the anticipation, fear and butterflies for them both. The touching of the seat, purposeful leaving of the book, and tension in the tiny steps forward and with their hands so close to touching. So glad homosexuality was decriminalised in 2018 but this was way to late for the hidden voices, untold loves and broken hearts. Beautiful short movie, id love to have seen how their story developed over time. ❤

It's been 6 years I travel in train to my college many mens see me but I wait for one at 5:45 wadala to Panvel to see my man coming from where I don't know but when ever I see him my heartbeat becomes faster than before 🤪#silentlove

This video is exactly how LGBTQ love is being silenced in all African countries and India ... I just hope people realize that love is love

You know the pain, they had in their eyes when the other one was crying, was really heart wrenching. And the empty train seats where the book was kept, to touch the seat and feel the person who was there a few moments ago was the purest form of love, I would say. Sometimes bodily touch doesn't really mean satisfaction. What really gives satisfaction is that they are very close even with that distance, that barrier between them but their souls touched eachother. Finally they know that, like the parallel lines of railway tracks they will be together but always on the different sides. They just can see eachother in pain, from the other side and be happy with that pain in their hearts. What love is? To be happy even with pain. This is just awesome. I think I have already watched it twice and will watch it for more times. This pain is so soothing. This heartbreak is so pure. Thanks to the cast n crew to make something which really touched my soul. It showcased something that is not very real and contemporary. But this is how it should be. This is how love should be.

4 years after . here I am in 2024 watching this again and again wishing I will have something similar

We need part -2,3,4 please 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I just want to see how these beautiful people take things together ❤❤

I don't know why but it made me extremely sad and heartbroken 💔 this movie is a gem and true representation of South Asian LGBTQ community. Love from Pakistan.

My heart is half broken half healed right now. It really touched my heart, the removal of article 377 is only a starting for providing human rights, we still have to walk a long journey. It's a very humble request to every straight person that please let everyone love , it doesn't cost you anything. #loveislove

Hello from Australia. This is a beautiful film, very moving, touching and sad. Great acting and photography. Their interactions back and forth reminded me of a ballet. Congratulations to all involved.

This is, without any doubt, the most beautiful written and acted LOVE story ever seen. No need of dialogue here since these two speak with their heart and mind. GOD is pure love, and I saw it and sensed it the minute they met. The crying of happiness, the approval gestures from the lips, the breathing of their souls together, the patience to get closer . . . a masterpiece of filmmaking, a great job from everyone who collaborated on making this film a reality for 2 individuals, no matter what sex they are. I have seen it 15 times and I will never get tired doing this. Once again, THANK YOU ALL!

This was emotional.. Many stories are untold.. Even now section 377 has gone but people's mindset is still not changed... Hope.....one day we dont have to feel scared about anything..... ♥️🌈

The story, like the train has no beginning and no end ..it is the journey what matters and who you take it with. Faraz Ansari ..hats off for this masterpiece and you once again proved that words always falls short when trying to describe an emotion.

What a beautiful and powerful film. The actors did an amazing job conveying their feelings without speaking a word. When he touched his wedding ring, you felt his pain. Having to marry a woman to appease family and society. Having to repress who he truly is. So well done! Thank you for posting! 🙂✌🏻🙂

Pretty commendable how quite a lot was said without a single word being even mouthed or muttered. The symbolism, metaphors, and visual cues were used intelligently, sensitively, and with a keen eye.... Great job guys (everyone associated with the project)!

Proud to be part of this film as an Associate producer!!!! ♡..... Sisak..... ~ ..

I've waited for this short film for 3 years to end up crying for 15 minutes straight. I mean no wonder this won 59 International awards. it deserves it. Amazing acting by Dhruv and Jitin. And the music!! it honestly gets me every single time. It's soooo beautiful. Faraz sir, I can't even put it into words how much I love this baby our yours. Soooo beautiful!!

Glad that people are more accepting lgbtq+ people and is no more afraid to talk about it 😍 Wishing of a future where lgbtq+ people don't have to come out, as straight people don't come out and say" guys, I'm straight "😬😜

9:38 he shows his hand. In his ring finger. Their is a ring. He is married. Younger person is upset now. 12:16 now he is choosing him. But decision is younger person’s hand. He likes him too but he doesn’t have courage.

Under oppression even silence speaks the loudest words. Beautifully captured emotions of wanting to be loved and respected as human beings.

It´s truly a masterpiece. So much deep emotions without saying just one word. Their eyes said everything. Now I´m sitting here...crying. For me it´s still unbelievable that there are countries in 2019 who are against same sex love. I live in a country where same-sex-marriage is possible. We even have openly gay politicians, artists, actors, teacher ... Ok, we also have still homophobic people. But to have the right to be with the person I love is important. Don´t give up. Please stay strong and I´m pretty sure if everybody around the world is a little more open someday the world will be a better place! 🌈

Baap re baap! Aajtak ki sabse best Indian LGBT short film hai yeh😍👌 Isme ek shabd bhi nahi kaha gaya par sari kahi ankahi baate inki nigaahe keh jati hai. Maine aajtak aisi heart touchy aur cute love story nahi dekhi thi. Acting is "Amazing" by both of them. Aur Music to isme ek alag si Khubsurti dal raha hai. I loved this "Sisak".❤ Aur apni apni khushi jisme ho, jiske sath ho uske sath rishta jodna koi pap nahi.. It's pure love😊. Genders doesn't matter 🤗 My Fav. Scene : 7:45 When he sees around that the guy wasn't there and then surprisingly he showed up!! And the blushes on his face 😍 took my heart🤗❤.

I have ridden the train to work almost every day for 19 years. I have seen a lot, heard a lot, and yes even did...a little. But this movie, the sound of the train, the visuals of passing views from the door and windows, the music that helps to lead you through the anticipation, the looks to each other, their lips and eyes tell so much. To experience the wonderful joy of love, true, love without a word is humbling and exhilarating all at the same time. My heart was pounding as I watched...wanting more for both. Simply beautiful............

Being the part of this community I know how hard is it to hide the real u!!!! And this story really touched me badly😭

I can finally share this beautiful movie with everyone I know! 28 hours to go! 🌈

I think this video represent all the silent voice who cannot express themselves in Asia except Taiwan. This is remarkable video that should be watched by anyone in this world!

This short film deserves a feature film. Wonderful story!

This is so heart wrenching and beautiful. Such little details told the story; the Jitin looking at his wedding ring in one scene and Dhruv crying in the other scene, Jitin expressing his desire for Dhruv to come back closer to him and Dhruv's initial hesitancy to act on his feelings and the final scene of both dropping at the same station but different platforms knowing that their worlds are apart and separated but there is a point where they'll eventually meet and finally be together. Kudos to Faraz , Jitin, Dhruv and the whole team who made this fine piece of cinema.

Nothing much happened. But a lot happened. This is how art is. The camera work and direction are spot on and the background score is heartfelt. The emotions are portrayed incredibly by the two actors. It's too deep. Not a single word is there, but the eyes speak everything!

His name is N...... We met in our workplace. He was dashing, handsome, arrogant yet had haunting eyes. Our gaze met frequently during long hours in the office at first. Then we interacted, we became almost friends. Our "eye" affair got intense. Those longing haunting gazes during presentation, board meetings, during coffee break or office outings. We melted and mated with those engaging gazes. And his smile whenever we made small talk...was this the same arrogant man I first flinched at?! But I felt reserved after all we were two men in India; and he was married. He left the office and nothing came of it. Only fond memories remains. Those eyes... sometimes I think. The ring on the finger of Jitin, one of the protagonist, triggered the memory. This haunting movie is an ode to all those gay men who could never love each other to fruition.

I'm never gonna emotionally recover from this. Just so beautiful.

The music, the acting, the story- all of it was beautiful. Loved it so much 🧡🏳‍🌈

Very beautiful story, this is how we do struggle everyday to find love in the society. No one can understand ❤

Such a beautiful film 🥺💖 I'm a indian fujoshi/ bl fan girl ... I love watching gay movies/series/ comics ....IDK why some people hate gay/lgbtq persons .... they're lovely 😊 as a indian bl fan I want more "Boy's love" series/movies or short film ❤

Most beautiful film ever watched on seeing 2 humans falling in love .... Such stong & sensible combo of emotion, humanism , music is rarely seen without any vocal dialogues .. great work ...keep it up ❤️❤️

I wish people had the right to love whoever they want.

If I cannot love someone like they do, if will be my bad luck. It is hard to fall in love but what is more difficult is to never been able to be with the 'person' one loves. When they look at each another and the other avert the eyes, and when they try to hide in books and the wait for the other one to come, it all looks so adorable. I love every moment of this film. Thanks to the creators for giving us this beautiful piece.

With tears in my eyes: how impressive, wonderful actors and unfortunately only too true

Their voices deserve to be heard and understand fully for their love stories need to be told

"We didn't need dialogue. We had faces." Norma Desmond in SUNSET BOULEVARD, 1950.

8:32 that happy smile is so contagious ♥️

When the boy cries he cries , when the boy laughs he smiles...

Not a single word has been uttered, but the emotions drowned us viewers....This is such a gem

Whenz the second part ? 2 ?! A decent matured gay movie portrayed in a positive masculine way with emotions. Really very nice

How can a boy love another boy like that I thought was gay relationship is about sex or horny feeling but after watch these clips I realize love is nothing about gender it about feeling what we feel about

This is real good!!! high quality here.

Beautiful! Wonderful script, direction, actors and locations! How to say everything, without using the word. The attitudes and actions of the actors/characters overflow with desires, with love. Desire and libido in full bloom. There is a lot of truth and honesty in their love. The soundtrack is beautiful. I loved! I loved! Congratulations! - Lindo! Roteiro, direção, atores e locações maravilhosos! Como dizer tudo, sem usar da palavra. As atitudes e ações dos atores/personagens transbordam de desejos, de amor. O desejo e a libido a flor da pele. Há muita verdade e honestidade no amor deles. Linda a trilha sonora. Amei! Amei! Parabéns!

Wow. We need more films like this🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈❤️

I started off thinking, oh no, it's silent and I'll switch off in a minute or two. But this masterpiece didn't need dialogue. It had everything else. Visuals, emotion and movement. Like a beautifully choreographed dance. I could watch this again and again. The movement of the two characters, the emotional connection without touching. Stunning. A fitting tribute to what was until recently, forbidden love. Absolutely brilliant.

my god this is truly a very nice short movie...its so precisely acted as well as directed....without saying A SINGLE WORD THIS BL gave me goosebumps.....i truly truly loved this...thanks everyone for making this kind of heart touching video...i loved this

இரு ஆண்கள்!!! அல்ல அல்ல!! இரண்டு உயிர்களுக்கு இடையேயான அழகிய காதலின் வார்த்தைகளற்ற உணர்வுப்பூர்வ வெளிப்பாடு! From Tamilnadu... like and love from transgender community! My great guru osho says... "be you"! Very touching flim. ❤

The two railway tracks merging into one. Such powerful imagery . Music is the voice of this silent film

This made me cry. I hope and pray our country will be more open and accepting in the coming days.

They didn't spoke a single word but at the same time they spoke a million words

Silent but powerful. A beautiful story. I wish they would smile at each other. You could just feel the love between them. I loved this story. It did bring tears to my eyes.

The music was so powerful...It was so overwhelming, heart wrenching and heart touching at the same time , as if not only the characters but the music itself is trying to portray, trying to speak the enormous mix-up of feelings that the characters were willing to show towards each other... As if there is no need of words, words will only become futile but to feel, the feelings of no end~ *And can we also talk about that how good looking our actors are...Jitin is so dashingly handsome and Dhruv has those cute innocent charming looks....Oh my God they got so damn Good looks and their chemistry was like water, so smooth and so natural...Did anyone notices that their appearances got to improved each passing day and they both started to carry themselves more attractively, It's just my thinking but they could make a good couple ☺️ I love their acting *soooo* much that I can't help but to want a full movie which will probably be the sequel of this short film and want a Happy Ending with these two end up together* Lots of love to ♥️Jitin and Dhruv♥️

Lovely! The scene where one cries and the other one has tears in his eyes. I Iiterally cried.

"Our lives are damned. We share the same sky every day but not together 🥀..."

This silent film showed so many raw emotions in just a few minutes, emotions that cannot be said out loud, emotions that are unheard, hated, misinterpreted, and feared by society. Many bigots should understand that it is much more than sex. It's about love and everyone deserves love.

Long awaited and very heartfelt. I can feel the pain of the characters as I'm also part of the LGBTQ society. 😭

The moment when the boy was crying.... the way they adore each other...... the satisfaction on their face when they were close to each other..... and finally ...the pain... everything is so intense & mesmerizing.😭😊

To all those pure, love-seeking souls who ply the river of life in this same boat (or train): I admire people who just muster up all the courage they need on pure impulse and just walk up to the object of their desire and strike up conversation. From there, something beautiful begins. There is no need to pour out one's feelings right away. I realise that doing so will only burn a blackhole of awkwardness between you and them. But please kindly do at least go up to them and speak to them. You need to make the first move. They will surely think that meeting you was one of the best things that ever happened for them in life

NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS WHAT YOU DID. LOVED IT A BIG BOWDOWN I MUST SAY YOU ARE ONE OF THE CRAZIEST AND OFFCOURSE GONNA BE THE LEGEND OF FILM MAKERS KUDDOS ❤

I so wanted them to speak up and express, but I could sense the space as well. It is beautifully shown. It is emotional and heart wrenching to see the guy cry.

O my god despite of being a straight also my eyes got teary so heart touching story it is...the society doesn't let u live your way this is the modern world where one doesn't has the right to live his life his way until this society will not change these kinda sacrifices will be continuously happening...... but love is love #live your life and let others live

This is absolutely beautiful- the music, the acting and the longing. It breaks my heart to think that so many love stories are left unsaid and incomplete... I really hope that someday all of us find in our hearts the love to accept people for who they are.

Wow! Came across this beautiful piece today ❤... and the storyline, the videography and everything was so good. Alas! It's a shame that these type of relationships are seen as a social taboo and the faith of these kind of relationships are nothing but despair 🥺. Hope in the future ppl would become more open minded so that can accept this beautiful kind of relationships more openly. After all #loveislove 😊.

The cinematography, the expressions of the actors, the background score was so powerful and intense. Everything was perfect. And the moments between the leads were so pureee. I could feel their emotions!

Beautifully portrayed. The chemistry between the two is so intense, cannot explain through words. Touched my heart deep inside my heart. I was getting goosebumps all the time. Background music touched my soul. Thank you Faraz, Jitin and Dhruv for this wonderful movie. Hoping for it's second part.

i really wish it was longer🥺🥺🥺 sooo gooodd

I'm straight but this silent story made me realise so much thing's ❤😢😊

Oh my god... This silent shortfilm conveyed thousands of words... Everything is at its best..👍

Speachless... I'm so overwhelmed by the beauty and the poetry of this short....

Speechless.....no words to express my feelings after watching this.....so intense so deep....so meaningful and yet so heart wrenching...bitter truth.....heart just aches looking at them separated by the train tracks....such purity in the emotions...well done to the crew....amazing job

Que lindo sería ver la segunda parte Que continúe la historia

Unsaid Love.... There's No Single Dialogue in This Film Even This Film Is Heart Touching..... I'm A Romantic Film Lover After Titanic That 3 hours movie this film is my Fvrt one The Pain In Their Eyes.. That's Smile in their face After Seeing Each other... A Wonderful Story.... It's Very Painful that you Have a person in your life and can't Talk and Live with him..... It's Amazing..... Worth To Watch.... I'll Suggest everyone to Watch This Film.... Film Can be Made Like This Also You have proved it... Everyone Connecting To This Film... And It's True Gay Life is Not Easy as a Straight Life Cuz It Tooks More Courage to Live with eachother..... I'm Hoping and Praying For myself That I Will Get my Partner Soon...

Even if the spectator is straight, he can't deny the fact that the every moment of this short caption is seriously profound......, profound with deep rooted inexplicable emotions. Background score is undeniably breathtaking.....

Its not silent Its a loud voice a broken heart

I felt every moment of this. Every gaze, every movement, every tear, every breath. EVERYTHING. Thanks Faraz for making this.

Love in any form is just beautiful...seeing all the positive comments now it feels like India is finally evolving..

I ended up in tears..😔😔😔😔Please I wish to see them in PART 2 Together. Please I request you. Please

Excellent!!! Easily one of the best short films I have ever seen. Mr. Ansari, I can't thank you enough for making and sharing this movie. Amazing how powerful the storyline was with zero words! Truly brilliant! Just curious, did you have to get special permission to shoot the movie on the train? Or did you have to coordinate with the train's schedule and regular daily passengers?

No words required for express our feeling. Love is Love❤. Heart touching....

This is the best short movie ever. I can feel every single emotion the cry, the feeling of someone being their, the love etc. There is no wonder this won so many awards

Words wouldn't have made this any better. The emotion said everything.

OMG. This was happend to me in subway when i was a student. He stand behind me and touch my hand. We just looked each other about 15 minutes. Same emotions as here happened to us. But next station he is left and I never meet him againe. 30 years past and I am still remember that eyes. Real storyline and wondefull acting. Well Done guys. 👍

Phenomenal performance! Great cinematography! Excellent delivery! After watching this short film, I learnt that when it comes to Love - gender does not matter! Love is a feeling that only the right one for you can make you experience what a True Love is!

This is so intense in the end! My heart almost sank!! That quietness speaks volume! Great film! Want Part 2 😍😍😍👌👌

I smiled when they smirked ❤️ So pure and beautiful! Well done Faraz and crew!

Amazing! Awesome! Beautiful! Loved it

This story was like a mirror reflection that you see and know but still restrained of societies stigma and unable to accept the reality

What a masterpiece...... Brilliant acting and expressions💯💯

I am pleasantly surprised at how well this was made.… exceeded all of my expectations! Superb…

அவங்க ரெண்டு பேருக்கும் நடுவில் இருந்த train போல தான் இந்த society மனதில் காதல் இருந்தும் வெளியே காட்ட முடியாமல் இருவரையும் பிரித்து வைத்துள்ளது 🥺 என்றாவது ஒரு நாள் இந்த நிலை மாறும்

Everything explained without any explanation 👌 😌 💯
