Jo's Turn / Tumhari Baari Jo
Synopsis
Every Sunday, Jo’s family gathers for their beloved Scrabble ritual—an oasis of laughter and playful banter. But this Sunday, Jo (22), who has always concealed her sexuality from her family, decides it’s time to speak her truth.
As her tiles spell out the word “LESBIAN,” the room shifts. Her mother, Geetanjali (52), objects to the word; her father, Navneet (56), brushes it off with a joke, oblivious to its deeper meaning. Only her brother Chirag (29) grasps the significance: Jo is coming out.
