The story of the film is of a protagonist who finds himself torn between what he wants to do and what is expected of him. As he begins his day to take care of a task for which timely and immediate attention is crucial, he is roped in for help first by a stranger and then by an acquaintance.
While he may intend to help them, his responsibilities require him to be elsewhere. He attempts to navigate his way around the various events of his day, and still finds himself unsatisfied with what he has achieved by the end of it all. The film exhibits a certain maturity of thought in terms of the choice of its topic and treatment. There is also a particular vulnerability about Anupam Kant Verma that works well for his character. However, Alpviram could have benefitted from a little more tightness in the narrative and the script.
