The poetic narrative of Baat Kar is one of its stronger elements, along with its performance that matches the writing of the lines. The sentiment echoed in the words finds a fitting expression in the only voice that recites them, becoming the sole face on camera that the narrative allows.
The film talks of a dysfunctional, toxic emotional equation where the woman finds herself unable to stay away from that object of affection which doesn't seem to be in her best interests. Despite knowing the nature of this one-sided, all-consuming addiction, she is still drawn to the very thing she absolutely must avoid. While the viewer may have been convinced so far that she speaks of a lover, there is indeed an unexpected development awaiting them regarding the truth of the matter.
