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.

I have watched, by now, many really low production shows, which thanks to product placements probably recover some of the money. But then, you may ask, what is the point of making shows when you do not have anything relevant to say or show. Half the time I was uncomfortable watching the show, the other half I was like why are we abusing kids.

The only good thing is that it's a short series and if you watch in double speed, you can finish it off very quick. (2/10)
