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 ...
A happily committed couple Cam and Greg are looking to liven things up by adding a third to their relationship. They've already auditioned the hot younger Princeton with a make-out session; and now it's time to go all the way. But their nosy lesbian neighbors will have none of it. Even though it was Cam who wanted to experiment, turns out Greg gets all attention from Princeton. But as you can imagine from a whacky show like this, things dont go exactly as they were planned. In every episode we see this couple trying to expand into the brave new world of polyamory despite one hilariously awkward sexual debacle after another, complicated even further by the persistent Princeton, who wants more in spite of the less-than-ideal circumstances of their first encounter. We also see the relationship develop between the couple. Add a drag mother, since Cam is also known to do drag (in a wonderful scene, we see his skills).
The show is very watchable thanks to its two very charming leads who not only are very easy on the eyes but they act superb also. We do see a bit of over-the-top absurd humor but it works. This, almost like a comedy of errors kinda show show us the growth of the couple, details about Princeton, a new player in the game who actually wants Cam but not Greg (in a hilarious act of so called threesome). As you can imagine we do get to see a lot of sex scenes but none done badly. I mean, after all it is a show about sex, centering on characters exploring their sex lives. Each of the six episodes has its own classical sitcom structure, but they all stack together to form a complex arc of opening up, shutting down, and trying to escape from an unexpectedly sticky situation. You may think that the show tries to stereotype things but there is enough character development too. Like any sitcom couple, Greg and Cam find their way back to each other time and again. The actors bounce off each other with a zany energy, and become more central to the storyline than you might expect, but the show's leading men share a sweet chemistry that can withstand a demon twink or two. (7.5/10)
