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 ...

This was like watching one of thoseThai Bl stories but on steroids, where the story moves real fast. And there is enological reason for a supposedly straight man falling for a gay mafia guy. Having said that , its good that the story moves at. Breakneck speed because this is the only way to sit through this make believe world. Get in two very hot looking guys, have. A few shirtless scenes, a couple kisses, weave a story around and maybe it will work. An dit does to a great extent. Except that focus on romance is very little and I wish I had an opportunity to see more romance, more hot sex and kisses. What was odd that the enemy Jack would not learn his lesson and kept attacking Ace for some reason which becomes laughable after a certain point. The product quality is slick and watching it on phone actually works with the format. A fine average watch overall. (5/10)
