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.

the whole film is shot from a very distant camera with the voice of an omniscient woman dictating to the audience on whats happening and translating on the screen. if not for the voice, you would think you are watching a very very low resolution video of random shots put together because they don't make any sense at all. The film just takes you all over the city of Tbilisi with showing us everyday life. I mean, i could have seen a documentary on the city with a much better photography if I was interested. and what was up with a random man repeating his memory of start of war at three different time? It made absolutely no sense. I was literally angry while I was watching the film on the time I was wasting and cursed the makers like 100 times. I pity the critics who actually liked this film and recommended people to watch it, because any sane person cannot appreciate any kind of crap thats presented for over 200 minutes long duration in today's day and age.
