My Brother… Nikhil is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Onir, based on the life of Dominic d'Souza. The movie portrays the life of Nikhil Kapoor (played by Sanjay Suri) from 1987 to 1994 when AIDS awareness in India was considerably low. Onir, the film director, stated that the film is based on true historical facts, and the standard disclaimer about fictitious content was just a compromise with the Indian government to gain permission to make the film.
