The film is premised on an imperative matter that is central to a writer’s life and livelihood: the subject
of copyright laws. The nature of all laws, but especially concerning intellectual theft, is such that there is
no awareness on the issue amongst individual writers.
To a large extent, and especially during the early
stage of their careers, writers work independently. It is only when their work is acquired by a corporate
organisation or a body with some structure in place, that the issue of copyright crops up. At that stage,
it is handled by lawyers or professionals who are versed with that particular body of knowledge. To an
independent, ‘struggling’ writer, the matter is largely elusive and opaque. The film lays a brick towards
awareness on the issue, and draws the viewer's attention to it by showing the struggles of its protagonist.
