It is late into the night when a woman opens her house to an unexpected guest, a man who is wondering if she could serve him some food. As a hesitant Indu allows him into her small <i>dhaba</i>, the narrative deliberately perplexes the viewer as to why a sheep would willingly let the wolf deeper and deeper beyond the threshold. With Indu’s husband gone to the nearby city and no children in the marriage, she is completely alone and at the mercy of the man's malicious intentions. <br><br>

The film, borrowing its name from the iconic Hindi song that the protagonist hums, portrays all of this with notable performances, alongside the clear intent, and desire to experiment with its visual grammar. The end result succeeds in creating a sense of poetic justice, while also drawing upon the elements of thrill and horror. Additionally, it subverts the idea of who is a victim and who they victimize, paving the path for more similar storytelling endeavors in the future.
