Based on Sachin Kundalkar's novel, Cobalt Blue was released on Netflix on April 2. And the janta obviously had a lot to say about it!
Cobalt Blue is a story about how the plot thickens when a brother and a sister fall in love with the same man, a paying guest who moves into their house. The film is also directed by the author of the book, Sachin Kundalkar, and produced by Open Air Films. We have the striking Prateik Babbar as the paying guest who is hard not to look at when he's on-screen. Neelay Mehendale as Tanay Dixit, an innocent aspiring author and Anjali Sivaraman as Anuja Dixit, who doesn't want be bound to the restrictions of femininity. Geetanjali Kulkarni and Shishir Sharma play the orthodox parents of the sibling duo. Anant Vijay Joshi as Aseem Dixit, the eldest son of the Dixit household and Neil Bhoopalam as Tanay's gay college professor who Tanay mildly flirts with sometimes.
The story is set during a time when same-sex love wasn't legal yet and the Dixits are deeply rooted in their traditional values. The colors used in the misc-en-scène of the film are directly proportional to how the characters are feeling at that moment but mostly work with shades of blue, especially with Tanay. His sexual awakening and love story with the paying guest is sensual and there's passion in his gaze whereas Anuja's encounters with the paying guest feel a bit incomplete. Prateik Babbar gives a sense of freedom to both the siblings in a majorly different manner. The page-to-screen transition of the story feels seamless but also reminds us of the uncanny similarities with Timothée Chalamet's 'Call Me By Your Name.' The movie was initially set to be released in December but finally made it to Netflix in April.
Let's find out janta's reaction to Cobalt Blue!
#CobaltBlue on netflix, is utterly pleasing to the senses. Prateik & Neelay, color every frame with their screen presence. Teenage confusions, same sex love & how love works in us in different ways, was never shown better. Hats off to Sachin Kundalkar. pic.twitter.com/Hr069cmeBv

In many ways, #CobaltBlue is like my eternal favorite movie #Udaan. A reclusive teenager, a poet with dreams & desires in a world full of restrictions. And the climax, takes him & a very similar sibling to the world of freedom.

#CobaltBlue uses #poetry as commentary on the plight of anyone does not follow societies view of what normal #sexuality and aims to show that staying in the closet can be suffocating, lonely and can open you up to being easily manipulated. 8/10 @prateikbabbar @Neelay_M @NetflixSA pic.twitter.com/hKDkmqTVY2

Does love leaves you weaker or stronger? #CobaltBlue is a poem flowing like blue waters of a steady river meandering through the banks of love, desertion, longing and recuperation with top notch performance, cinematography, music and direction. https://t.co/oHqW3AgFB2

I am so disappointed ! So disappointed at the society for not educating and sensitizing straight people enough for them to understand a movie like #CobaltBlue

Yesterday, I was so happy that this movie has been released, that FINALLY #Queer content like this will be watched
and in my opinion, maybe that is the reason why we are so flamboyant, why we are so out there, why we use rainbows to represent us 🌈 because we are colours, each one of us is different, each one of us has our own personality and each one of us has a part of #CobaltBlue in us ! pic.twitter.com/AiwcVMbDiE

What an artistic, expressive & beautiful movie! ❤ @Neelay_M looked absolutely pretty as "Tanay" in the whole movie throughout! Loved his smile, innocence, the way he portrayed his character aesthetically! @prateikbabbar looked super sexy as required! 💣 #CobaltBlue 1/2 pic.twitter.com/rANsoyMMMw

It's so rare to come across a film which not only exceeds your expectations but gives you so much more that you weren't of it's existence in the first place. #CobaltBlue

#CobaltBlue Bold & Heart-Wrenching story told in its own pace & time ! Middling experience for me which is adapted from a novel written & here directed by same person ! Performance's were decent & it's a sluggish slow watch ! An AVG Fare !
