    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.
