Nayan is a meek, reticent bank employee who is chasing a loan defaulter for months now. However, his inability to demand the money forcefully, and instead forever being cowed down by the defaulter, Vivek Gamit, has left his boss extremely disgruntled. With only three days to get the money back, and save his job, he is left in a desperate corner with nowhere to turn. 

Nayan’s domestic life too reflects the same reticence, as he goes along with everything his wife says or suggests. The film offers a wonderful character trajectory from its beginning to end in terms of the protagonist. In fact, it is this moment of breaking out of the quiet that forms the disconcerting crux of the plot. 

The entirety of it is handled gingerly and meticulously, bolstered by a convincing performance of the protagonist. The writing forms a prominent strength as well, ensuring that the film remains engaging and balanced throughout.

Rohit nurses the broken heart of a jilted lover. It is also a situation where the hurt has turned into immense, passionate hate. After discovering the truth about Shweta’s infidelity in their marriage, Rohit decides to kill her. He does not stop still but also decides to document the entire process on video. 

In portraying all of these developments, the film exhibits notable stylistic choices, coupled with fitting music. The narrative also presents an exploration of voyeurism and heartbreak, and how they get tied with technology. 

The components are weaved together by efficient and thoughtful visuals. It would have been interesting to watch the story unfold with perhaps a multi-lingual approach; keeping it predominantly English felt slightly restrictive. Having said that, it should also be mentioned that the protagonist is brought to life with unwavering conviction and skill, and the performance bolsters the film most significantly.
