The gay characters are self-respecting men dead against the idea of marrying a woman out of convenience. Parental denial is also addressed head-on, and frowned upon using clap-trap dialogues.

Thanks to Vicky Kaushal and the screenplay, Bhoot serves the basic demands but it never rises beyond the obvious.

If one were to rewind a bit, we have had Dostana, which introduced the idea of two brawny men as a pretend gay couple and the hilarity it would induce.

Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha's Thappad is a rousing soul search, raising the question again and again, till it forces an answer.

Despite the feel-good simplicity of the narrative, the protagonists' worlds continue to be nuanced. Read our full review of the Amazon Prime Video series here.
