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 ...
30 year old, Kylie has a problem. All three of her last boyfriends eventually came out as gay and she is still single. All these guys were in closet and eventually came out and now she has a pretty good gaydar herself. Kylie is a wedding planner who works with her last crush Benj who is gay hiding in closet and apparently she is the only one who knows. When Benj's childhood friend Diego shows up with his fiancé Fiona to hire them as their wedding planners, Benj's hidden love and crush for Diego comes out. He begs Kylie to figure out in next few days if Diego is also gay or not. Diego is a very charming and handsome man with whom even Kylie gets smitten by. But egged on by Benj, Kylie sets out to prove that she's right again that Diego, who is engaged to be married to a beautiful and classy lady, is indeed another closet case. The problem comes when slowly its Diego and Kylie who eventually fall for each other during the course of wedding planning. They end up as a couple and Benj marries his hot friend Ramon Ramon.
This film was just a sweet silly comedy. Its not trying to belittle any sexuality, but just presenting a point of view in a very light-hearted manner. Benj played by the ace actor Paolo Ballesteros, whose last few films I have reviewed here does well in the part of his character. He is funny but his character is not very developed, but I can understand why. He is just a secondary character since the main focus is on Kylie and her budding love with Diego, who himself is struggling between his forever absent girlfriend, and his over bearing parents. Kylie is the one who shows him love and he finally understands what it means to be in love really. The film continue to be comedy when Kylie almost decides that Diego is gay because of whatever stereotypes she has in her mind, only to be surprised by herself falling for him and being reciprocated. The makers gave a happy ending to everyone, although I feel Diego ending up with Ramon was just too sudden and random.
Decent, time pass film, a little long, but gives you overall good time. (5.5/10)
