- Summary:
- This film is a feature-length documentary about Dr. Mahinder Watsa, a highly popular 93-year-old sex advice columnist for a daily newspaper in Mumbai. Despite sex being a taboo topic in India, the column's brand of non-moralistic advice and humor has emboldened many to write in with their questions. The columnist gains popularity even while a ban on comprehensive sex education in schools is adopted by approximately a third of India's states. The film provides a first-ever look at the man behind the public persona and cult phenomenon of Dr. Mahinder Watsa--a feminist man in a deeply patriarchal society and a modern India that wants to talk about sex.
