I've had this on a memory stick for yonks and I don't know why I hadn't tried it before. Well, I wasn't missing anything. This was another of those films with loads of dialogue that simply isn't interesting.
The "plot" centres around a group of gay Indian men who meet up regularly for soirées at one of the group member's house. The host introduces one of the regulars to a younger and fresh invitee and we see that the older guy is rich and the younger guy is a rent boy. These two strike up a relationship that remains strictly commercial, at least until I clicked out. Their conversations are what might be expected in any such transactional meetings - sex, acquaintances, word play. In other terms, boringness.
I was really struggling to keep my eyes open after thirty minutes. Ten minutes later I gave up.
And there was a technical error that was really annoying. The subtitles provided by the company were in minute script that made it almost impossible to watch the actors because they needed so much concentration from the viewer to read the tiny characters. On top of this, the subs attempted to explain nuances of the spoken dialogue in brackets. This meant that some of them, representing quite short lines, flashed up and away because the explanation was longer than the translation. This was really unsatisfactory.
So all in all, a poor experience and one not to be recommended.
