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.

Stay with Focus, who truly loves him and has been on his side all these past years or run away with Per, his first love, but the one who wasn't brave enough to be his boyfriend from the beginning.
The series had an interesting premise and they were able to get some decent actors both in school school days and the grown up times and right amount of tensions were also built in, but as mentioned before, we never get to see end. For me, this is ok, because then I can give it an ending like I want. The story has potential and the school part is good unto watch. You can see enviousness and jealousy in scenes where clearly Focus and Ball are close and how Balls just sweeps in between and charms Ball although he doesn't have balls to declare himself to be the boyfriend. Overall a decent one hour investment, albeit incomplete, for now, It safe to say that we should stay away from his one to avoid any further disappointments. (4/10)
