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 ...
In the first 4 episodes, we see that a young boy who has a girlfriend and is a painter dreams about a man, can't figure out who he is, draws his painting and eventually comes face to face with the guy named Noah. Turns out this was all a fictional story being created by an artist named Sean, whose best friend is Noah and Sean has a crush on Noah and truly loves him, but is scared of telling Noah the truth. Just the imaginary story, he does have a girlfriend and a gay best friend. His gay best friend writes a fictional story about Sean's love for Noah nd posts it online for all to see. This makes Sean get the courage to come out Noah with his string feelings for him.
I cant begin to describe how badly directed and acted the show was. It felt as if the actor playing the main lead in first 4 episodes decided to quit and hence they made this thing up about Sean writing a fictional story, because literally nothing else changed. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced. The actors were probably given just one corner of their house and so with a colored drape and a laptop, all they do was talking into camera with zero expressions and feelings and we are supposed to believe thatches series is a story of love for art and love for a dreaming heart. A lot of unnecessary characters are there in the show just for the sake of it, including many sequences of a teacher teaching online art classes. I am starting to feel that I need to stay away from Filipino shows, especially these low budget ones, because how much ever I give these a try, my experience keeps getting worse and worse. (1/10)
