CGiii Comment

Bollywood goes gay! Why bother!

This is a steaming puddle of cow piss.

It may be a cultural thing but, for fuck sake, this is the C21st - it's already dated, the music is incomprehensible, the wardrobe lost in a time warp and the Baywatch-like sequences...

Okay, a starving kid in India might think this is funny, glamorous etc...But, through Western eyes, it is OFFENSIVE - as is the acting. And, it's so very long.

Total torture.

The(ir) Blurb...

After the passing of her parents, Neha Melwani lives in Miami with her aunt. She rents out a room in her apartment to two seemingly gay Indian men, Kunal Chauhan and Sameer Acharya, a photographer and nurser respectively. She introduces them to her departing gay boss, Murli, and falls in love with her new boss, Abhimanyu Singh. She will soon realize that she has two rivals for her new love - none other than Kunal and Sameer.
