The makers of the upcoming drama, Lovers In The Blue Night, have unveiled the official trailer for the film. The film is competing at the Orizzonti section of the Venice Film Festival.

Lovers In The Blue Night is directed by Anuparna Roy, who became the first Indian to win the Best Director award at the Orizzonti section of the Venice Film Festival in 2025, for her debut feature Songs of the Forgotten Trees.

"Set against Mumbai's restless nights, the film follows four migrants—a closeted husband, his lonely wife who works in a bar, a small-time thief and a pimp—whose lives intersect through unexpected love, survival and forbidden desire. Told in Hindi with Sylheti Bengali and Marathi, the film explores longing, migration, identity and the search for belonging in a city that leaves little room for vulnerability," reads the synopsis of the film.

The cast of Lovers In The Blue Night includes Neelima Sharma, Pritam Pilania, Bhushan Shimpi, Jatin Sarin, Kajal Keshav, and Vinod Suryavanshi.

Lovers In The Blue Night is produced by Vikas Kumar, Sharib Khan, Bibhanshu Rai and Romil Modi. Khan & Kumar Media and Ammi Media are the banners backing the film.

Speaking about the film, Anuparna said, "The film draws from my own life as a migrant, watching working-class lives slowly dissolve into the restless pulse of the city. It is about people who dare to desire in a world that punishes feelings—a gay man bound by duty, a woman yearning to be seen, and a thief craving acceptance."
