The film attempts a conversation around surveillance and offers differing views that make you pause. Set in a dystopic society where the government's presence in an average person's life has become all pervasive, the film is a conversation between a couple, convincingly played by the two lead actors. While one questions this invasion of privacy, the other is quick to point out the same process set in motion in the name of marketing in the digital space. The narrative concerns itself with a topic that could have slipped into the space of propaganda or over-glorification of particular ideologies. However, its strength lies in the fact that it falls in neither of the two categories and offers an objective, balanced approach to both sides of the argument.

The music video exhibits some skilled camerawork and attempts to capture different stages of life - love, loss, grief and the eventual moving on. The story is of a couple which is deeply in love when tragedy strikes. However, irrespective of the intensity of the pain, its end is inevitable, emphasises the narrative. Made as a reminder of light at the end of the tunnel, the video leaves the viewer with an overarching sense of hope.

The film adopts autofiction to tell its story - one of a young artist who is driven by despair to take his own life. It is structured in the format of a vlog,or a video blog, where a twenty-seven-year-old man lists down the reasons that have led him to this decision. The story comes across as a plea to be understood and simply uses the monologue of its only character to make its case. The angsty rant invokes a conversation around mental health as well as Assam floods of 2019 that ravaged the state and made headlines all over the country. It further tries to be the portrayal of an artist's struggle who found it difficult to relate with people who, in turn, could not connect with his art. While the film comes across as an honest and sincere attempt, a certain tautness of the narrative would have helped to iterate its message better.
