Mr. C.V. Reddi Co-Owns Omar By Contributing in the Rs. 1 Lakh+ category
“With every bud that blossoms a miracle takes place… As petals open one by one to reveal the flower's face”
Onir along with the entire Team- Omar thanks Mr. C.V.REDDI from Chennai for contributing in the Rs. 1 lakh+ category and co-owning Omar. Thank you Tulir for being the bridge and helping us connect.
Omar is someone caught in the noose of a well planned trap under the guise of section 377. And helping him untangle the same is YOU.
Thanks to You, Omar will be released from the clutches of discrimination and hostility soon.

Will The Depiction Of Gays In Hindi Films Change Post Decriminalization Of Homosexuality? :: Onir Speaks To Sakal Times
Cinema is a great medium of expression, for the cine goer it is the object of desire, for the cine maker it is the subject of the heart, rather a subject that touches the heart. The portrayal of homosexuals in Indian cinema as caricatures has been a trend, if I may so say. The Landmark Delhi high court ruling about section377 that decriminalizes sex between two consenting adults irrespective of gender would build the alleyway to the high road of equality.. but will it have any positive change in the depiction of gays in Hindi Cinema???

Contributor Testimonial - Ram Badrinath
Ram Badrinath on how he got to know about Omar and what made him contribute
I came to know about Abhimanyu through Water No Ice which i subscribe to and was very intrigued by the micro financing concept for films. It has always remain with me how Shyam Benegal financed Manthan through 2 rupee donation by milk farmers in the 70's. That approach decouples a film maker from the cudgels of "corporate" mentality and babus. Allows the film maker to focus on making the film and the web emerges as a force for good artbest of luck.
