Cambridge University Press, October 9, 1997. ISBN 0521599075, 9780521599078. p.

Routledge, 10 September 2012. ISBN 1135208751, 9781135208752. p.

''Women Film Directors: An International Bio-critical Dictionary''. Greenwood Publishing Group, January 1, 1995. ISBN 0313289727, 9780313289729. p. (302 ).〕 The director stated that ''Khush'' was written as a "dialogue" involving South Asian LGBT diasporas. E. Ann Kaplan, author of ''Looking for the Other: Feminism, Film and the Imperial Gaze'', stated that ''Khush'' "addresses the dual formation of colonialism as patriarchical and homophobic-a homophobia that uncannily found an echo within Indian culture itself".〔 ==Content== The film uses the expository interview method where the subjects speak to a camera and the interviewer is not voiced. Parmar does not use narration in the interviews, so the subjects explain matters themselves.〔 The film includes documentary interviews with dramatized scenes.〔 Parmar edited out the "male gaze" and instead portrays women watching a dancer.〔 This "lesbian gaze" uses the sort of "film-within-film" method used by ''She Must be Seeing Things''.〔Gupta, Suman, Tapan Basu, and Subarno Chattarji. ''Globalization In India: Contents And Discontents''. Pearson Education India, March 30, 2010. ISBN 813171988X, 9788131719886. p.
