There is something deeply beautiful about love stories where the biggest obstacle, among other things, is time. The climax involves a heartwarming union after this particular enemy is vanquished. The Wallet is a narrative that deals with battling the same nemesis. <br><br> It boasts of a strong cast of Naseeruddin Shah and Navni Parihar, both of whom offer wonderfully convincing performances. The story in itself, though not entirely unique, is a potentially poignant one. However, where it fails is allowing itself enough time to come to a boil. The movement from one point to another is achieved, but not allowed the pace it deserves. Another aspect which works in films of this kind is silence. The extent to which silence could have been used to enrich the narrative remains under-utilised, especially in the union scene of the star-crossed lovers. On the brighter side, everything else in the film requires little to no improvement, which is what makes The Wallet worth a watch.

The music video is an endeavour to speak of a sense of oneness its protagonist dreams of and strives for with the world around him. The particular image that the video uses to further establish this is that of nature, in all its vast glory. <br><br> Be it the endless ocean or the limitless sky, the film invokes them all, and asserts the peace the character is able to achieve in this act of letting go of all inhibitions. It is the same message that the lyrics too carry for the viewer, the ability to transcend all limitations, emotional, mental or physical, and the consequent calm and peace which is thus achieved would truly be lasting, the mellow vocals suggest. The film employs special effects and a smooth edit to communicate the same to you, in the process, making the thought behind it clear and unequivocal.
