Avsar (Hindi) [Opportunity]

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. As the night goes on, Rachit starts thinking back to some old memories from a long time ago. He remembers being an intern after college in ...

Bangkok G Story (Web Series) (Thai)

Web series are a hit or miss. This series is nothing ground breaking but given that the episodes are so short, it does bring a smile to your face after every episode. You know what's exactly going to happen but you still dont mind. Thankfully the episodes to address most common problems that most gay men face trying to date and find a boyfriend and balancing random hook-ups alongwith all this.

The focus is mainly on three friends while other characters are introduced later. T is a player, G is a newbie who wants a boyfriend and no hookups and the third is B, who hooks up for money although he has a good job. We are introduced to M later, a super hot guy who is also from a small town like G and becomes apart of their friend circle. After many sexual escapades, T & B becomes boyfriends but that doesn't last long since T cannot stay away from prostitution much longer and ends up cheating. M also finds a boyfriend who is bottom and he now has started enjoying being a versatile , so his sexual life is quite frustrating. He ends up hooking up with G after he catches his boyfriend in an orgy. After all these issues, the series finally end sup in T & G getting together as true love and boyfriends. It takes time to get there but eventually does.

The episodes are short, quick and witty. Its a bit stereotypical with all the themes they handle as part of the show but sometimes, its just fun to watch stupid stuff that brings a smile to your face. Every individual story is good for a but of laughter. The characters may seem bland initially but there is a proper trajectory growth and you start connecting with them. The boys are all gorgeous but acting was very evidently off at many places. They were clearly not experienced. But despite all that, it was still fun to watch these episodes. Short, crispy and clear. The end episode summarizes the crux of life of a gay man. We are all different and each one of us has our own way of living it. Its the path we choose of single, hook-ups, boyfriend and your job. Love can be sometimes so close to you that you may overlook it. The right person for you may not be the best person but he is the person who accepts your bad sides.

It's a good watch with lots of comedic relief. The episodes aren't that long, so it's not a very long watch either. I would recommend people watch this, you won't regret it! (6.5/10)

Loved this little serie, thanks to you again!
I have the exact same feeling : it's stupid and funny, generally left me with a smile at the end. Even though it's not believable, stereotypical and not really well played, but sweet and witty. And the guys are definitely good looking...
Somewhat reminds me of "the horizon" web serie, with the country guy coming in a big city seaching for the right guy (who finally was close to him nearly from the start).

For the horizon serie, don't get scared for the first episodes which are really bad (they changed the actors in the other seasons except for Wilma), the rest is very nice It just has all the cliches possible ^^; I enjoyed watching it, I hope you will too

Drug Shore (Chinese)

Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs. The duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems.

ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide.

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...
