Tanay and Anuja belong to a traditional Maharashtrian Brahmin family from Pune. But disillusionment also conditions the possibility of a new understanding of intimacy: all relationships entail a negotiation with solitude, estrangement and loss. Cobalt Blue captures the sensuous longing of youth, and the disillusionment of disappointed love. Kundalkar has directed a couple of Marathi movies, written the script for a Hindi movie, produced documentaries and acted in plays on homosexuality.
Sachin Kundalkar’s movie Cobalt Blue (2022) is based on his only novel by the same name, published in 2013.
