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 ...
One night, Nuea attends a house party with his friends, where he sees Praram. HE is captivated by his smile and decides to pursue Praram, laying on the charm until his target becomes his boyfriend. Nuea introduces himself to Praram at school. He is incredibly friendly and charming around him. Praram accepts his kindness, but doesn’t understand why this stranger is so interested in him. However, Praram is actually the younger brother of Gun, who’s currently dating Nuea’s friend Bar. Gun is protective of his brother and remains skeptical whether a playboy like Nuea is right for his younger brother, but as expected, one eventually prevails.
The paper thin plot line of this story is the biggest weakness of this show. Nuea sees a guy and immediately falls for him without knowing anything about the person and relentlessly pursues him. IN my books this will be called stalking. Surely in today's day and age you would wanna know about the other person's personality before being suddenly possessive about someone and declaring your love, especially when you have barely spent anytime with the other person to get to know them. Half of the time, both of them are surrounded by their friends, who tease them throughout (which is the only decent banter that keeps this otherwise tedious show lively). The show had ample time of about 90 minutes, in which a very solid story cane be told rather than gimmicky stuff. This whole 'En of Love' series turned out to be a big bummer like Y-Destiny which was another disaster show. As a whole, the En of Love franchise has been one disappointment after another. Although the plots are dressed up differently, each series remains dull, superficial, and problematic. The makers didn't even care and so should we. Just don't bother to waste your time. (2/10)
