The nameless stranger seemed like a metaphor to me who helped the siblings fight their inner self and discover a part of themselves which they were unaware of. Its plot is poor and it doesnt help that the movies main character is shallow, selfish, and. Her parents take her to a psychiatrist and we see the improvement in her health through her diary entries. Cobalt Blue is pretentious and perfunctory while its referencing of art is laughably cheap. Betrayed by the nameless tenant, her mental health is effected the most. She craves freedom over everything else and wants to breakthrough all the strings which try to hold her in her traditional family. The second part of the book is from Anuja’s POV. 💙 He never came out to his traditional family about his queerness, rather kept everything to himself and chose to grieve in silence. Some parts reminded me of ‘Call Me By Your Name’.

He talks about his time together with the tenant in a repeating form as if he wants to revisit his past and feel those emotions again rather than changing anything. The first part of the book is from Tanay’s POV. The siblings, Tanay and Anuja, fall in love with the same man, their paying guest whose name is never revealed in the book. Though the book was written about 14 years ago, I can only wonder how much ahead of time the narrative is!
