Time Out

The story of a 14-year-old boy who finds out his revered older brother is gay, and what happens afterwards, is interesting. There are a LOT of what we would call "gaps" in the plot, so don't expect things to always be logical or realistic

I know that one cannot judge movies about social issues by Western standards

I already know that Indian movie-making is vastly different but having seen other Indian movies I was hoping for more. I know that dialogue, editing, pacing and plot development don't adhere to Hollywood norms

Even given that... I found it hard to grok why the one who seems to react the most strongly to the coming out is the gay kid's 14 year old kid brother. To me that just seemed unfathomable

Adding to the weirdness is that more than half the spoken dialogue is in English. I thought it might just be that the film was dubbed but about the same amount is in Hindi. Even most of the signs that students are waving at one point are all in English.

If the characters have assimilated that much western culture, how have they failed to assimilate this aspect of western culture as well?

It IS odd that the two families arrange a meeting of the parents to deal with the "the problem" but in a culture that still arranges marriages I was surprised by that. I'm chagrined to admit that the weird thought crossed my mind that while I was hoping to avert it happening I'd be curious to know if one of the kids committed suicide would the other commit suttee.

I was curious why the film makers even made a movie on what is such a taboo subject in India. As with many Indian movies they end on a happy musical note and all the ends are tied up with a happy ending that's never really examined too closely.

very well knitted, this is the movie which sadly lost its shine due to big banner movies and very under cast. Acting was brilliant and very realistic. What I enjoyed about this movie is the acceptance of the present generation and conservatism from the so called elite liberal parents. Worth watching. I was eagerly waiting for this movie to be released and finally I was able to watch online.These type of movies are very important for our Bollywood industry. I would also add that this movie somewhere has also the glimpses of the famous-British drama called Skins. I lived through my school days and made me realize that this funny but simple story can also give such a strong lesson. it dealt with the study pressure especially for the teenagers and what they go through and also somewhere it highlights the double standards of the modern school education.

Don't judge this movie by Western standards; Indian movie-making is simply different. Dialogue, editing, pacing and plot development don't adhere to Hollywood norms; once you get over that, enjoy the film.

The story of a 14-year-old boy who finds out his revered older brother is gay, and what happens afterwards, is interesting. There are a LOT of what we would call "gaps" in the plot, so don't expect things to always be logical or realistic (having spent time in Delhi, too, I NEVER saw anyone who looked anything like any of these characters).

I also give it a high rating simply to support the filmmakers for producing a movie on what is such a taboo subject in India. Hope a lot of people there have seen it.

The movie : TIME OUT " _Know thyself_ ." Aristotle said to Alexander when he was leaving for his conquest.

This is what the new generation is trying to do today.... Trying to know thyself!!

And the movie, TIME OUT, takes us through the journey of the lives of the adolescents, who have their own turmoils and rig marols which is not easy to understand by any other age group.

However, they try to fight it all with not only the support from each other ( their friends basically) but also the competitive environment created by their mates around them. It also throws a light on the facade that the new age parents put up in the society, but when the reality bites, they (the parents) look for a hideout! Timeout depicts a lot of emotions, and the best part is, that it makes the viewer feel the emotions just as it would be happening with one in real life.

The credit for depicting this goes to the director, who has been successful in making the us ( the viewer) see what he wants us to see.

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL GENERATIONS.

9 STARS 👍

The movie has an amazing concept and I really like the story... I liked the ending when Mihir and varun get support from friends and their basketball coach.... It is a story one can actually relate to... When the movie displays that the couple does not get support from family but friends this is definitely what is happening in the society.... Youngsters are open towards friends rather than their families... Finding on google how to fix your gay kid is something insane but it does happen.... It is even considered as a phase but its high time people realize that its not just a phase its a matter of ones own choice and ones own life... It is seriously true that if a child answers back his parents or does something wrong his friends,his influence is questioned but when its a matter of pride parents get the complete credit.... So yes its time to accept people the way they are and just let them live their life.... I even like the songs... The are just perfectly appropriate to the concept and the movie...... The cast is just perfect for their roles... They just fit In their places completely.... I really hope to see more such movies by this talented group of people...what happened with varun towards the end (beaten up by his parents) this I how people are treating their young ones in such a situation especially in India..... Gaurav's recognition at d end was a must it shows how siblings are the biggest supports.... I am glad I watched d movie .. I just wanted it to be a longer one.... Wanted to see you guys more..... Well done guys..
