The film is the story of a woman who has deprioritized her dreams for a life of duties and responsibilities. It is interesting to see a narrative talk of a character’s passions and hopes that are not simply confined to her family, despite the love and affection she has for them. The protagonist, Kavitha, is portrayed as a person of her own even in the face of all her responsibilities. 

As all Savitha Sastry films, the highlight of this one too remains the dance sequences which truly ensure you are unable to take your eyes off the screen. However, it does take flight from the films so far in the manner in which it touches upon a Western dance form, even if briefly. The story also endeavors to conjure lighthearted humor, along with drama and a sweet portrayal of the support of a loving family. While the writing and the narratorial progression could have been smoother, the film remains sincere and honest in everything that it offers.

Vectors is a complex film that attempts to explore quite a few threads in the same narrative. The idea is to
explain the life and fate of a character through the geometrical concept of vectors. A teenaged boy, a school-topper and a student of Class XII, has gone on a killing spree. In the span of a
day, he has committed a rape, a murder and a robbery, and wants to surrender. Questions of what is real and what isn't are invoked, as is of the location of education in the lives of the characters. There is also roping in of peer pressure and substance abuse. The narrative moves
back and forth to drive home his actions and their consequences, but the more the threads are
introduced the more the film starts unraveling.

The film opens in a bizarre setting. Three men are atop a hill. One is going to fall off the edge. One wants
to save him. One doesn’t want to get involved. It is the stuff of dreams, the stuff of nightmares. 
Both dreams and nightmares are key to the plot of Mission: HCI. One blurs into the other and ends up in
quite another space altogether, in this strange, unusual film which endeavours to involve and engage the viewer with its narrative. However, what will be the truth that eventually unravels at the end of it all?
