The trailer reveals the types of stories and the release date.
‘My Melbourne’ deals with the 4 important aspects of diversity – Sexuality, Gender, Disability and Race.

The Visual Maestro of Hindi Cinema, Director Imtiaz Ali brings in a closer to home narrative of an young Indian Immigrant Woman who is working at a Restaurant as a help but has to live under the pretense of a ‘Manager’ to her family who question her life and every nuanced aspect of it. Her choices are picked and ploughed under the disguise of Pride and Honor.

Following the story of a young woman on the Autistic Spectrum wishes to express herself through Ballet.
Filmmaker Kabir Khan in his best form adds the story of a young and talented girl from the war torn part of the world who moves to Melbourne for a better future finds herself following her passion in Cricket while racial and cross cultural disputes arise startling her career as a player.
