"Lots didn't expect 'Khatra: Dangerous' to pass through Censor because it's a love story between two women but same-sex relationships have been legitimised when Section 377 was repealed.

"'Khatra: Dangerous' will be releasing in both theatres and OTT as soon as the release date is finalised sometime in March. The film is about a crime drama with a lesbian couple."
