The premise of the film is straightforward and simple - the selfless dedication of a mother towards her son who is slow in realising and appreciating its value. The narrative does a wonderful job of conveying this through small acts of affection and kindness that a mother does for her child - sometimes chiding him, sometimes surprising him, but never being anything less than loving and caring towards him. <br><br> The son, on the contrary, finds himself preoccupied with his own friends and love life, celebrating his birthday with them, until the realisation dawns upon him. Sheeba Chaddha is most convincing and endearing as the mother, striking just the right chords in terms of chemistry and performance. The film is constituted by visually pleasing frames that help to further enhance the story. Despite its simplicity and complete absence of any complex tools, the film manages to win the viewer over and leave them with a sense of warmth and tenderness.

The music video is undoubtedly marked by the chemistry between its two actors, which is in part due to their performance, and in part due to the intermingling of different kinds of visuals. It is a smartly woven narrative, one which is about the different stages of love - from union and joy, to separation, yearning and heartbreak. These are tied together by a song which echoes the same sentiment for the viewer's benefit. <br><br> The strongest aspect of the video is the story it tells. Even though it reminds the audience of other videos in popular culture with similar themes and narratives, and thereby loses points for freshness of the concept, the mixing of different shots with the vocals is what allows it to still separate itself from them. Overall, it is a product that shows technical skill and a desire to share its story.
