This Hindi movie is a pretty straightforward slice-of-life story that tries to give a modern look at what it's like to be a single, professional gay man. It dives into how he understands who he is, the chances he missed out on, and the personal choices he’s made along the way. The director used three parallel timelines to tell the story, which honestly didn't make much sense to me. While the core idea was actually pretty interesting, I really feel like this would have worked way better as a short film considering the point it was trying to make. Still, it wasn't a bad watch. The plot centers on Rachit, a city professional, and his friend Shikhar as they hang out for an evening. Rachit is a polished, urban guy, while Shikhar has more of a "small-town" rustic vibe, and you can really see the contrast between them when they talk.

These are some really really short films that I saw (less than 5 minutes in duration)
It's Consuming Me (Germany)
A wonderful 3 minute video of a boy obsessing with a guy and his traits and things he does. "I can’t move on. I wish I could. But I’m caught in the thought of what could have been, losing my grip on reality." A little weird ending by still pretty good just for the dialogues.
OK (Brazil)
Two friends in a public restroom talk about and actually do experiment with their sexuality. Starts with jerking off, fingering and finally gets sealed with a kiss. Very innocent and sweet story.
Noturno (Argentina)
Desire runs out through between a couple since they met. A very quick overview of how they met, got passionate and within a short time, how the passion fizzled out completely.
Make Homosexuals Marry (US)
If you disagree with the homosexual lifestyle, why not overturn Prop 8 and make them get married, like the rest of us? A quite funny story showing a gay couple getting married and getting caught up in a boring monotonous life.
The Piece of Furniture (Spain)
Our protagonist shows us the piece of furniture in their parents house which keeps everyone's pictures except them since they are a gay couple. They come up with an interesting idea to gain a spot there through other's weddings.
Everyone Is Different (Netherlands)
A short video which shows how every individual is different and how being different makes everyone get along very well with each other. Nice.
Overall ratings given for such short films. (6/10)
