There was never a better way to spend your Sundays, bring your pals and come watch great movies with the young and vibrant YAARIYAN folks in CEFE, a safe and homely space sprawled with cozy cushions, hot tea, snacks and some very warm people!
“Yaariyan” is the coming together of young and enthusiastic Mumbai queer who at the moment prefer to call themselves “Yaariyan – We don’t need tag lines”
