Puberty brings a lot of curiosity with it. When you do not get any action you will frustrated. Sexual frustrations of Naman and friends is beautifully shown. Double standards of Brahmans are showcased in a very sarcastic way.
This is a coming of age film that is quirky , weird and humorous. Loved all the dialouge in quiz language or geek langauge

Okay first things first, I am a female reviewing this movie.
I really like the aesthetics. The medium film is a visual medium and this movie really makes full use of visuals and editing, also sound editing to make jokes. It's really inventive that way. Or maybe I just think it's inventive because I haven't watched enough movies to know better, but what I mean is, you know, whoever made this movie had a vision. Also like the writing.The jokes are funny, witty and the back and forth between the characters, it should sound forced and fake but doesn't. everything is adorably quirkyI guess this movie is setting out to capture that specific life of nerdy upper class Brahman college students in Bangalore in the 80's. I wouldn't know if it did that authentically, but somehow this all feels like something that must have been like that at some time.The movie is incredibly sexist and doesn't shy away from making its main character look like an elitist, sexist asshole. The male gaze is everywhere in this movie and it's obsessed with naked women, specifically their nipples and vaginas. The addition of the womens quizz team they meet in the train doesn't excuse all the objectification. Naina in the end, is as much a male nerd's fantasy as those nipples and vaginas. However, the movie isn't kind to it's male characters either, they're shown as hormone driven, insecure and even emasculated pricks. So yeah, the movie is shitty to both men and women. And while the sexism never gets condemned, it doesn't get justified either. For whatever that's worth.All in all, pretty good movie. I just wanted to make sure that sexism thing was gonna be mentioned in at least one of the reviews.

Well I am seeing IMDb for last 15 years and yet this is the first time I am writing review for any movie. No this movie is not that great but the current reviews do a lot of injustice. It is very enjoyable movie. It is dark but it is honest about it. I liked it. I am not sure if this is real review but I could relate to characters. I could see the darkness in the movie, quirkiness, taking me to 80s when you have only sex on your mind and it was real fun. I loved it.

Quashiq Mukherjee's Brahman Nahman hilariously lampooned collegiate coming of age in 1980's Indian bourgeoisie. Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy played a highly loyal yet unrequited lover. Tanmay Dhanania and Chaitanya Varad acted as the venturesome sidekicks while recruiting Vaishwath Shankar who just wanted to fit in. Denzil Smith chaperoned the rambunctious conquest of the quiz team all-stars at the national quiz championship in Kolkata. Anula Navlekar was captivating while Subholina Sen was flirtatious to the rebellious nerd whom Shashank Arora portrayed. Ashok Mandanna depicted the nerd's orthodox yet lenient father whose factory near Bangalore University played the set for various antics. There were plenty of farcical scenes in this story of a youth society globally shrouded in conservatism and preexisting conventions.
