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 ...
Gun is a popular medical student. He has a crush on Bar, an engineering student who comes to swimming a lot. Gun knows about it and is always print to watch him although he never makes a move. One day, when Bar loses a personal memento at the pool and posts online message seeking to retrieve it, Gun makes contact with his and confesses his love without hesitation and asks his permission to pursue him. Reluctantly Bar agrees, much to the amusement of his engineering friends. But Gun is persistent. He constantly shows up everywhere, determined to make Bar notice him. Eventually they start warming up and soon the duo start a relationship. Towards the end we also meet Mark, who has an obvious crush on Bar.
Where do I even start as to how bad this series was. You can't help but notice how totally uninteresting both the lead actors and characters were from every aspect. Their chemistry is non existing, their romance is pathetic and their flirting and courtship scenes are dreadful. We are given no history whatsoever. Gun's creepy admission of his love for Bar is just the beginning of the mess. He comes across as a creep just lurking around Bar while he is college. I would be completely freaked by such people. And if Bar is so comfortable being straight guy that he is, why do his friends keep egging on to go out with Gun. And of course, there are all these side characters that add nothing but super annoyance to everything around this show. The whole episode around the faculty completion was so not needed at all. It's like someone saw. Lot of BL shows, picked up thing here or there and decide to create a story out of it.
This feels like a total amateur job. I thankfully rushed through the last two episodes because no one in their right mind can sit through this atrocity. Completely avoid. (1/10)
