The world of the film is dark and sinister, and is defined by the most disturbing and shocking events at play. However, there is also a sense of vulnerability that is presented thus to the viewer by way of the protagonist.

While Varun is the chief orchestrator of things that go wrong within the story, there are still far more powerful factors at play here, presenting to the viewer the true might of the human mind when it is left unchecked. All of Varun’s life has been a struggle, to find friends, perform academically, or eventually secure a job. And yet, what could have been a place of comfort, his father, only shunned him further, extinguishing the last flame of hope.

The resultant narrative then portrays for us Varun’s descent deeper and deeper into a dark, turbulent world from where there is no looking away. Even if it shows the want of a little more tautness in its plot, the film nevertheless offers zealous storytelling, earnestly supported by a dedicated protagonist.
