« When Arjie is a boy, his father (Ali Kazmi) pushes him to avoid 'girly things' and instead work on his cricket. But Arjie is encouraged by a cool aunt, Radha (Agam Darshi), who helps cultivate his interest in theater and teaches him to put nail polish on his toes where no one can see. In what becomes a motif, the director [of Funny Boy], Deepa Mehta, cuts to shots of older Arjie sitting in his younger's self's place at crucial moments like this one. »
