Ray (Vihaan Samat) is an awkward 24-year-old manboy whose inner monologue is in the voice of a comic book character named Wiz (Jim Sarbh). He carries the character with him all the time on a keychain, and has pictures of him in his work cubicle and at home. During the football game, he sees a woman on one of the team who smiles at him, but as Wiz tells him he should ask her out, he’s also telling Ray that he’s not good enough for her. His parents don’t know what to make of him. Ray resists their desire to set him up on a date. His work buddy Varun (Ankur Rathee) has just gotten engaged and wants to celebrate. At the bar, he encourages Ray to talk to a random woman, and Wiz both encourages and discourages him. Ray invites his childhood friend Riya (Dalai) and when Varun mentions that Ray might not be good with women, he starts bragging. That fake brag backfires on him eventually. Later on, he finally agrees to let his parents set him up, especially when he sees a picture of the woman he’s going to go out with. Eternally Confused And Eager For Love is the rare show whose best feature is also its most annoying feature. That inner voice can be intrusive in scenes, to the point where we wonder it would have been effective if used less.
