Check out the perfectly naughty teaser trailer for BRAHMAN NAMAN! It's the 1980s and Naman (Shashank Arora, star of Cannes hit TITLI) is a know-it-all nerd driven by the whims of his raging hormones.
Heading up Bangalore University's team of bespectacled MISFITS (best friends Ajay and Ramu), the trio of lusty intellectuals spend the majority of their time on the quizzing circuit, using their winnings to buy nudie magazines, whiskey, and beer, fantasizing about the buxom neighborhood beauty all the while. When the boys qualify for the National Quiz Championships, they make a booze-fuelled train trip across the country determined to defeat their rivals in Calcutta and desperate to lose their virginities along the way.
Unfolding to the tune of the iconic anthem, "Whiskey Bar," as Naman and his friends run amok against the colorful backdrop of the Indian landscape, his quest for sex and GLORY is complicated when he finds his intellectual superior in a stunning female quizzer. Directed by Indian filmmaker Q. (known for his controversial cult hit GANDU) BRAHMAN NAMAN is a smart, raucous sex comedy that's raunchy and endearing in equal measure- replete with innovative masturbation methods that put even Philip Roth's Alexander Portnoy to shame.
Produced by Steve Barron, director of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990), CONEHEADS and seminal music videos in the 1980s, directing Michael Jackson's iconic "Billie Jean" and Aha's "Take On Me," among others, BRAHMAN NAMAN will have its world premiere at Sundance this Sunday. Barron has worked with numerous music legends including David Bowie, Dire Straights, and Madonna.
