Trying to identify a pre-2010 movie with a young man talking to a pet turtle

I'm trying to identify a movie I've been looking for for over 10 years.

I only saw about 3 seconds of it as a child because my parents wouldn't let me watch it. This was around 2010 on DVD, but the movie could have been released any time before then.

This is everything I remember:

  • Live-action movie.
  • A young man (around his 20s) with black hair.
  • He looked South Asian/Indian (I'm not certain).
  • He was speaking English.
  • He was shirtless or partly undressed.
  • The scene was indoors, probably in a dimly lit living room or apartment.
  • He was holding or talking to a small pet turtle.
  • I specifically remember him speaking softly or affectionately to the turtle.
  • No woman was visible in the scene I saw.
  • The turtle may only have appeared briefly and might not be important to the plot.
  • My parents didn't let me watch the movie, but looking back, the scene itself may not have been sexual. I may have assumed that because I was a child.
  • My mother may have called the movie something that sounded like "Punk" or "Phoonk," but I'm very unsure about that.

I know these are very vague memories, but if this reminds anyone of a movie, even an obscure or independent one, I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

Title: [TOMT][Movie] Pre-2010 live-action movie with a young man talking to a pet turtle

I'm trying to identify a movie I've been looking for for over 10 years.

I only saw about 3 seconds of it as a child because my parents wouldn't let me watch it. This was around 2010, but the movie could be older.

Here's everything I remember:

  • Live-action movie.
  • Probably rated 15+/R or otherwise meant for adults.
  • A young man (around his 20s), black hair.
  • He looked South Asian/Indian (not 100% sure).
  • He was speaking English.
  • He was shirtless or partly undressed.
  • The scene was indoors, probably a dimly lit living room or apartment.
  • He was holding or talking to a small pet turtle.
  • I specifically remember him speaking softly to the turtle, almost affectionately.
  • No woman was visible in the scene I saw.
  • The turtle may have only appeared in this one scene and may not be important to the plot.
  • My mother may have called the movie something that sounded like "Punk," but I'm very unsure about that.

I know this isn't much, but it's been stuck in my head for over a decade. Any guesses, even obscure or indie films, would be appreciated.
