The film presents an interesting overlap of the digital space with filmmaking. It positions two characters on the same plane - Simran, an aspiring actor on the sets of a film that has the power to launch her career, and Pia, a social media figure whose star is on a meteoric rise, and who works as an intimacy coordinator on the same film. 

Between the two stands Akaash who has helped Simran land this role in the first place. The choice of characters and the interpersonal equations the plot brings to life all present a dynamic array. The storytelling is further defined by an unmissable voice that engages with ideas of ambition and the insecurity that can often follow in its wake. 

Notwithstanding a little looseness in the screenplay, the final result is put together with thoughtfulness. The tonality evidences skill and the promise of further exploration of the themes and relationships thus presented in the film.
