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 ...
Tin is a young ordinary student walking home from school. One day, he encounters Na, a student from another school, who bumps into Tin, because of which the keychains of their bags get tangled together.

He starts paying more attention and taking care of the injured student. As they spend time together, feelings develop between the pair. However, their budding relationship faces interference from other friends, classmates, and bullies.
The adolescent romance between two leads feels very awkward, which, I mean, you would expect of these silly teenagers with their iffy interactions. The main characters have a barebones relationship and hardly know each other in a meaningful capacity. The leads are strictly ok and do what they are asked of but sometimes their expressions don't match the plot line and that is a very glaring fault of the director. This mini series has absolutely zero memorable scene and you can't help but get confused and frustrated by this ridiculous storyline and even a weirder title. Just ignore. (1/10)
