Abstract

For the longest period, legal film and law have coexisted. This study attempts to connect the two via the creation of a film, Philadelphia. The film's reception, as well as the widespread critical praise, was hailed by the general public when it was released in 1993. The importance of legal film in the field of law is self-evident. People may consider the possibilities that might arise if ideas are executed when they are shown on a large screen. As is the case with the aforementioned film, which prompted heated discussion regarding HIV-related legislation as well as the whole field of homosexuality. The legislation and regulations governing the Human Immunodeficiency Virus in India, as well as active efforts being done to raise awareness about the virus, will be emphasized in this article. The idea of homosexuality, as well as the stigma surrounding it, will be addressed. The importance of legal film and associated case law is also discussed.
