The film opens with the abduction of a schoolgirl by two men named Faizal and Kabir. There is an ulterior motive to this abduction which goes beyond a simple ransom exchange. Right at the onset, this intention is revealed to the viewer. Simultaneously, in a quick reversal of fortune, things take a turn for the worse for the kidnappers, and chaos ensues.
At the level of story and writing, the film brings in several twists and turns - unexpected and constructed in their own time. It predominantly utilizes a single physical space, and three characters, to share all the swiftly developing drama with the viewer. There is a further attempt to rope in action, violence, and an element of shock. The visual language remains the most notable aspect of the end result.
All along, the fate of the girl hangs in balance with the uncertainty being dispelled at the film’s conclusion. There is also an important character trajectory awaiting this movement, one that would come to affect and influence the eventual outcome for more than one character.
