377 Ab-Normal narrates the journey of the petitioners who challenged Section 377. Speaking to mid-day earlier this year, Faruk Kabir said, "I invested three months into the research. I read the 400-page Supreme Court judgment." He even travelled across cities to meet the subjects of his story. Kabir added, "I had to secure their permission [to tell their story]. It was a trust-building exercise. It was an emotional journey for them as it [the then-criminalisation of Section 377] had deeply affected them and their families."

377 Ab-Normal stars Maanvi Gagroo, Tanvi Azmi and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.
