Ask the Sexpert is a feature length documentary about Dr. Mahinder Watsa, a highly popular 93-year-old sex advice columnist for a daily newspaper in Mumbai. Despite sex being a taboo topic in India, the column’s brand of non-moralistic advice and humor has embolden many to write in with their questions. The columnist gains popularity even while a ban on comprehensive sex education in schools is adopted by approximately a third of India’s states.

“An intimate look at the way Indians talk about sex.”

–Huffington Post

“The Film deftly moves between Watsa, his conservative detractors and gorgeous footage of young lovers on the streets of Mumbai.”

–Globe and Mail

“I find it utterly impossible not to be charmed by Dr. Watsa, and by extension, by this documentary by Vaishali Sinha.”

–Cinema Axis

“Stooped and kindly, he’s India’s favorite straight-talking uncle, only one who advertises viagra as a sideline. He’s certainly a find.”
