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 ...
At their grandmother's insistence, Andrew and Frank marry each other but never see each other's faces. The show starts with Andrew leaving for 1 year business overseas and handing his husband his credit card with a promise to come back and get divorced. One year later, Frank is interviewing for Personal assistant to his new boss William. William gets totally smitten by Frank's hot face and body and hires him and tries to seduce him. But Frank resists temptation for two reasons: One, in his previous job he was seduced by his boss who ended up putting blame on Frank since he was married to a woman and second because Frank is now married. William has never been rejected in life and so he makes it amass ion that he will make sure Frank falls for him. While this is going on William (who is Andrew) also makes sure that his lawyers starting the divorce proceedings with his husband, who's I none other than Frank. There are many opportunities where Frank and William might get opportunity to know their secret but something happens and they both end up assuming that each other's friend is their husband or partner. Slowly Frank starts to realize that there is more to William than what he portrays and slowly starts to fall for him hard. Andrew/William's mother comes as a villain towards the end, but as you would expect eventually the truth comes out and they realize they wanted to divorce each other only so that they could marry.
TH thing with this show is that the story is totally non believable, yet t works. Sadly, the makers take the situation and keep stretching it out till the very last minute. Many situations are created where they would know the secret. For example William wonders why his husband and his assistants name is the same but never thinks more of it. I mean, why would you not even see faces if you ar both gay (agreed you were forced to marry but whatever). There are a lot of other characters like their friends or office co-workers who do everything to create confusion or sort it out. There was just a kiss and a simulated sex scene but nothing we see on the screen. It is a shame though since both t he actors were really good looking with chiseled faces. I think the reason why it worked mostly due to the charming characters. The two leads might not have the best acting, but they sure look great. This is again one of those brainless time-pass gay entertainers. (6/10)
