Margarita with a Straw is a 2014 Indian drama film directed by Shonali Bose. It stars Kalki Koechlin (pictured) as a teenager with cerebral palsy who has a complex relationship with a blind girl, played by Sayani Gupta. Revathi, Kuljeet Singh, and William Moseley play supporting roles. Co-written by Bose and Nilesh Maniya, the film deals with themes of inclusion rights for the disabled, self-acceptance, and sexuality. Bose was inspired by a conversation with Malini Chib—her cousin and a disability rights activist—about the latter's desire to have a normal sex life. Margarita with a Straw premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in India in 2015. Commentators praised most aspects of the production, Koechlin's performance, and Bose's direction. Koechlin won the Screen Award for Best Actress and the National Film Award – Special Jury Award, and Bose won the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema Award in Toronto. (Full article...)
