'Loev' is a sumptuous, provocative Netflix film that takes on queer intimacy in a nation where homosexuality is illegal.
Set and filmed completely in India, Loev is a 95-minute meditation on behavior, possession, and negotiation in both emotional and financial senses. The film follows Sahil (played by Dhruv Ganesh before his death), a musician-turned-manager on a weekend trip with Jai (Shiv Pandit), a high-powered New York businessman back in India for work.
