Dead Poets Society Steals a Queer Story
Dead Poets Society relies on patriarchal tropes such as overbearing fathers, contrived brotherhood, and faux-individuality in order to portray its straight white male characters as oppressed.
Pataakha
In a dusty Rajasthan village, two sisters, Badki and Chhutki, are constantly at each other's throats over trivial matters. Their father, a widower, struggles to keep them from tearing each other apart. Their meddling neighbour, Dipper, enjoys stirring up trouble between them. But when marriage takes them to different worlds, they discover how much they need each other.
