no but the moment shardul (Rajkumar Rao's character) puts on the rainbow mask at the end of the movie is such an instrumental moment of just growth and acceptance within and of himself,,, because since the beginning of the movie it's easy to see how hard it is for him to even define/identify himself as a homosexual man and throughout the movie there's a constant conflict of him wanting to live as his most authentic self vs vying for social acceptance both in the contexts of family and career. As a cop he often comes across queer people who are ridiculed and punished and forced to run away,,, but he has to stay there and watch what could happen to him if he ever comes out through the words of the people he's surrounded by and even feels kinship with,,,
the first time he meets guru then,, guru is wearing a rainbow mask at a gay wedding and creating a "ruckus" and "disturbing peace". Shardul on the other hand is there in a professional capacity with his colleagues and is tasked with stopping him from making more of a nuisance out if himself,,, In their first interaction with each other shardul asks him about his masks and whether he's ashamed of himself and that's the reason he's wearing it, to hide which is then followed by him removing his mask.
This marks the way we're supposed to see the mask as not hiding away but accepting a part of oneself and being proud and just accepting of whoever and whatever you identify as,,, moving to the last part of the movie when invited shardul instead chooses to wear the mask as an acknowledgement of himself and his identity and just as a callback to the idea of not being ashamed and just,,, it marks such a big change and growth arc for his character who's seen to be so repressed when concerning his sexuality among family and colleagues
and the fact that he then chooses to click pictures with the aforementioned colleagues is just- cherry on top 🫶🏽🤌🏼 and i just love how he goes from being unable to voice it out loud, to coming out to his family (willingly mind you), to accepting and acknowledging it infront of the people he craves acceptance and respect from (his colleagues but also the society as a whole) and yeah.

introducing an ADHD working desk xD
when you take profit from different project's drying time, recycle the pallets of same media works and flow between art languages..
what people think that makes your lowest characteristic, might actually be (sometimes) a work in progress super power
Have a beautiful Tuesday*
