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 ...
Andre, a young man, does not work but gets full financial support from his parents. He has a huge crush on a man named Georges. He works with Andre's sister Lucille, who also has a crush on Georges, even though she is married. It's time for Georges to take vacation and Andres goes with him, despite being constantly rebuked, insulted and pushed back for following him by Georges. But Andres is only too happy to sponsor and be with Georges at this time even though he constantly is being insulted. But when Georges ends up having sex with women and even find a rich girl to be his wife, André is driven to attempt both suicide and murder because of his inability to secure Georges' affections.
This film is bad by every mean. There is never an explanation as to why Andre is so obsessed with Georges. Has Georges ever reciprocated his advances or love, or is it just one man's infatuation. And, why the obsession in the first place? He is not good looking, I didn't think he was charming at all, in fact he was abusive and insulting. I mean, why would any sane person (Andre and his sister) would find him attractive and want to be wit him, despite being rejected every single time. Whatever happened to self-respect. The ending of the film was also very random. Yes, Andre is looking at maybe killing him because he can't see Georges with another person, but then why did Georges kill himself? It's just so random. The film is a complete waste of time. (0.5/10)
