Avsar (Hindi) [Opportunity]

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 ...

Wicked Game (Vertical BL Drama)

Honestly, this is just another one of those vertical dramas, and it’s easily one of the silliest and worst things I’ve sat through. The story just kind of stops out of nowhere, leaving me wondering why they even bothered filming it in the first place. It felt less like a professional show and more like a poorly made school project where they just threw a bunch of random scenes together without any real plot or character growth.

The "story"—if you can even call it that—follows a young thief named Bunny who is trying to outrun the mafia when he crosses paths with a guy named Marcus. It turns out Bunny owes 100k to these mobsters, so Marcus agrees to pay off the debt, but only if Bunny becomes his "slave" in return. Suddenly, we’re introduced to a guy named Sebastian, who is supposedly Bunny’s cousin, and he’s busy torturing Bunny to dig up dirt on Marcus. At the same time, Sebastian is trying to close some big business deal with Marcus. While all this is happening, Marcus treats Bunny like a pet but randomly starts falling for him, even though Bunny keeps saying he’s not into guys. Everything stays pretty messy until the end when Sebastian kidnaps Bunny and threatens to kill him. Marcus swoops in to save the day, and Bunny magically realizes he’s actually in love with his boss. The whole thing ends with them running away together from a group of goons.

There’s really no way to sugarcoat it: this show is just plain bad. Sure, the actors were hot and easy on the eyes, but it felt like the writers had zero clue what they were doing. I didn't even get the title, and the plot was full of holes. For instance, it’s never clear if Bunny meeting Marcus was a total accident or part of some plan. Plus, if Bunny owed the mafia money and then found out Marcus was a mafia boss, shouldn't he have had some kind of reaction to that? Sebastian was supposed to be this powerful villain, but he was honestly laughable. They also threw in two women as love interests who served absolutely no purpose at all. There was zero buildup for the romance, so that random kiss at the end felt totally unearned.

It’s a complete mess with no logic or chemistry, and even with good-looking leads, it’s definitely one you should just skip. (1/10)

Drug Shore (Chinese)

Apparently tis film was adapted by a true story Well, true or not, movies/series about drugs are not easy to watch. I have always said that drugs is like the end of life for anyone. For those who sink into this sea of addiction, some manage to swim upstream to recovery, while others cannot make it to the shore. The film may not be the best, but it does have a noble intention to remind everyone of the evil affects of drugs and combining that with sex. Ah Zhe is in a happy relationship with his influencer boyfriend. On his partner's birthday, they end up going to a party, which interestingly is being hosted at a drug dealer's house and this is where for the first time he is exposed to the world of drugs. The duo somehow do it just enough and come back home but next day Ah She gets invited by the dealer Xiao Fei for a meal. The dealer has a soft corner for Ah Zhe, but before anyone realizes, Ah Zhe's life spirals out of control when slowly he starts doing more and more drugs, ...

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution.

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...
