2009 HRFF When Kiran Met Karen
When Kiran Met Karen
Director: Manan Singh Katohora
2008
USA/India
101 min
Bollywood actress Kiran is on the verge of becoming an international movie star -- that is, until she meets sexy magazine journalist Karen and they find themselves swept up in a torrid affair.
Bold and engaging, this Sapphic love story is set in New York City, where beautiful Bollywood starlet Kiran (Chriselle Almeida) suddenly stops a press conference for her latest film because of incriminating questions. She rushes outside and hunts for a cab, finding one already occupied by the sultry Karen (Kelli Holsopple), a novice journalist who convinces Kiran to ride with her. She also sweet-talks the sensitive star into giving her an exclusive interview for the magazine she works for. Confused but intrigued by this alluring woman, Kiran invites her home -- where she resides with her music mogul fiancé -- to spend the evening chatting. Sparks immediately fly and the duo throws caution to the wind, unable to prevent their torrid affair. They share an intense passion, but is this a one-night stand, or does Kiran have the courage to follow her heart?
Not many directors have attempted to break out of Bollywood, but Manan Singh Katohora bravely pushes borders and isn't afraid to bring lesbianism to light in Indian culture. The film also features the music of talented artists Deadbeat Darling and Katherine Almeida
