Every time a woman steps out of her house, she has to navigate lonely streets strewn with street sexual harassment, patriarchy and sexism. It doesn't take much for these to take form of sexual abuse and violence. The short film is an exploration of the same which urges women to take charge, to not bow down in the face of these threats and fears. <br><br> While the narrative is well-intentioned, it runs the danger of reinstating a cycle of violence, of suggesting that due to women's constant oppression by men, it is alright to strike back in an inhumane manner. However, since the heart of the film is still in the right place, the takeaway for the viewer, primarily women, should be to always wage the battle against discrimination, and patriarchal injustice and cruelty.

The short film is a glimpse into the world of poverty and penury and the manner and extent till which it can push people. As a cop attempts to solve a case of a series of robberies, there is an unexpected truth that awaits him at the end of this trail. But would he be able to solve the case and what comes thereafter? It should be noted at this juncture that what starts as an intriguing beginning in the short film concludes with a vague ending. At the same time, the innocence and the well-meaning intentions of the film deserve a special mention, despite a distinct need for maturity which often serve pieces of art well over a longer period of time.
