'Sheer Qorma' is based on an LGBTQ+ theme and it narrates a story of love and acceptance, revolving around its leads. The movie is a love story set at the epicentre of a judgmental society that forms preconceived notions about sexuality and relationships and goes to scrutinise love based on gender.
