A controversial film about drag queens in India is set to debut in its home country.

"The Pink Mirror" had been featured across the world at film festivals, and received its UK premiere at the Commonwealth Film Festival in Manchester earlier this year. However, it had been banned at home in India because of its gay content.

It will now be shown by the British Council in Mumbai at an anniversary event coinciding with its 100th screening on August 6th. Director Sridhar Rangayan has welcomed the chance to show the film to a native audience. Film censors in India had previously refused to give it a classification.
