Synopsis
Time Out is a 2015 Indian drama short film directed and written by Rikhil Bahadur and produced by Viacom 18. The film introduces three fresh faces - Chirag Malhotra, Pranay Pachauri and Kaamya Sharma. The trailer of the movie released on 14 August 2015. The film released on 25 September 2015.
The friendship, laughter and shared love between two brothers is tested when a 14-year-old boy is confronted with the complexities of a simple relationship.
Plot
Gaurav finds out that his elder brother Mihir is gay. He is unable to accept this as he looks up to Mihir, a high-school jock whom every girl fancies. Adding to his woes, the girl he fancies friend zones him. Does he find a closure?
“How to fix your gay kid” is what their mother types on google when Mihir reveals his sexual orientation and wishes to come out of the closet. This is probably the best scene of the film, which sums up the hypocrisy that so called ‘liberal’ parents exhibit. If there were more poignant moments like these, Time Out had the potential to be a game changer.
Time Out may not have a hard-hitting story but it does make you think. Under its Richie Rich garb, lies a thought that's enlightening and liberating. Both the lead actors Chirag Malhotra and Pranay Pachauri are aptly cast.[1]
