A simple story about love no matter how you spell it

Overview

When hot shot, Wall Street dealmaker Jai thinks of putting some pleasure into his 48 hour business trip to Mumbai, Sahil, his young, music-producer friend, drops everything, including his reckless boyfriend Alex, to help him execute the perfect getaway. Hiking the hills and canyons of Maharashtra, amidst half-attempted conversations and sudden silences, business calls and old jokes, the friends discover there is more than just time-zones keeping them apart. Things take another turn when Alex shows up with a new male-companion at his side, throwing up old conflicts and bringing unanswered questions to the fore.

    Quite an annoyingly plodding tale of two friends - one successful, one not - who take a weekend trip and, of course, have the statutory "find themselves" sequence of conversations before reaching an ending that depicts appallingly violent behaviour in an almost comic, throw-away manner. It may well be that the artistic value here is in that Indian cinema was creating gay cinema at all, but this is not a good film, on any level.
