The film screened in Manhattan on November 22 under the 'Friday Night Premiere' section at the festival.
Starring Anshuman Jha and Zareen Khan, the film is based on two characters, a gay man and a lesbian travelling together from Delhi to Mcloedgunj on a life-changing journey.
A thrilled Zareen Khan says, `I'm overwhelmed by the love our film has received by the people. Extremely happy and excited about the win. The best compliment I received was 'There couldn't be a better or any other Mansi than you' (Mansi being the name of my character in the film). I can't wait for the world to watch this film and shower us with all their love.`
Incidentally, 'Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele' is Bollywood's first film that has LGBTQ characters as the leads. Helmed by Harish Vyas is scheduled for a Valentine's Day 2020 release.
