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 ...

To be honest, the story had a bit of potential here, but the execution and direction of this series was so bad, that you laugh at most of things. Maybe only in the last episode, I took a bit of things seriously. But up until that point, I kept rolling my eyes on how predictable everything was using the set standard template and tropes that we have seen in these low production Pinoy series in the past. Actors were strictly ok and nothing much can be aid about their talent either. The resort surroundings were good, but how many times can you se the same aerial shots. They were present 3-4 times in every single episode. And for god sake, please change that annoying background music. The same thing constantly in every single scene and episode just jars your ears. The episodes had random fillers if characters, like Troy's friend who was there just to complaint that resort is boring. I mean why the hell was he even in the series. And other such people. I mean this series was already not that long to begin with, but even with that if it feels that it has been stretched for no reason, you can imagine how bad it must have been. Avoid. (2.5/10)
