This slice-of-life movie follows friends Jai and Sahil on a trip, where old feelings surface once again. Things are complicated by conflicting personalities, Jai's apparent fear of coming out as gay, and the fact that Sahil has a boyfriend back at home — one that he's been having some problems with.

There isn't much more to the plot than that. It's a snapshot of two men's lives, and much more important than the events themselves are the characters. For the most part, it's a great movie, but then, comes an event that shifts everything.

While I'm still unsure of how the aftermath was handled, I feel like it was handwaved because Sahil didn't really register the whole thing as a big deal. The ending seems to corroborate that idea. Still, it did feel off-putting to have the whole thing shown as 'not a big deal'.

The characters and their reactions to each other feel natural and real. Depending on your cultural background, there are some behaviours and thought processes that can seem a bit strange, but it all flows naturally in the narrative.

All in all, it's an alright movie to watch. However, I'm still unsure if I'd recommend it, precisely because I don't think sensitive issues had the attention and were treated with the seriousness they deserve. [spoiler]But if you're at all triggered by rape, I'd recommend against watching this. I went in blind and took me some time to recover from the ending.[/spoiler]
