Barun Sobti’s Bold New Short Film: Blind Queer Actor Steals the Spotlight in Onir’s Latest!
Filmmaker Onir just shared the first poster for his upcoming Hindi short film, Tumhari Khushboo, and it’s already turning heads. Starring Barun Sobti alongside Shashi Bhushan—a visually impaired actor who brings real depth to his queer character—this project feels special right from the start.
What stands out is how rare this is in Indian cinema. Shashi’s role adds genuine authenticity to a story about quiet connections, told through glances, pauses, and feelings that stick with you. Written by Ravi Asrani, the film comes from Impulse Mumbai, a volunteer group focused on sexual health, mental wellness, and LGBTQIA+ advocacy.
The poster gives a subtle peek into that world, promising something emotional and real. Can’t wait to see more from Onir, who has a National Award under his belt.
