The style and the atmosphere conjured by the film is sleek and involving, keeping you engrossed till the very end. Unexpected and hilarious developments await at every corner, giving rise to an entertaining product you would enjoy throughout. The film's main character is not any of those you see on screen, but it's protagonist instead becomes the mindless fixation with money and the haphazard schemes it can lead one to. When an unsuspecting man finds himself at the heart of the seedy networks money often floats within, interesting developments are in tow, as the film goes ahead to prove. 

While all characters try to satiate their greed, each trying to get the better of the other, and adding to the chaos in the process, the narrative is weaved in a seamless manner. The primary performer who brings the story to life, an overworked employee stuck at his workplace late into the night, adds verve and energy to the story, making it all the more enjoyable, and ensuring that the film succeeds at conveying everything that it intends to. 

With writing as its strongest aspect, the narrative drops little details all along to enhance itself. Though the final product is marked by a few rough edges, one is willing to overlook, and even round them off in the face of the punches the film throws at the expense of its characters, all of whom remain sincerely portrayed.

Trigger warning: sexual assault, violence

 
The whole narrative is a glimpse into a single moment of violence and assault, and its immediate aftermath. It does not preoccupy itself with the hows and the whys of it, simply presenting the story in medias res. A girl wakes up and soon realises, as does the viewer, the extent of the damage done to her in the form of severe bruises and injuries all over her body. However, we never hear her voice, but are introduced to the drama of the story through a conversation between two men she eavesdrops on. As two petty criminals discuss the abduction of the woman right outside the place of her captivity, the film makes a zealous attempt at positing the entirety of the film as a single-take endeavor with smooth transitions between its hand-held shots. The plot develops simultaneously finally taking you to a point where perhaps some respite would be available, followed by maybe even an eventual escape or an act of vengeance for the woman. When this juncture finally arrives, the inevitable question is raised about what will truly be her fate, further reminding you that maybe the answer lies in the title of the film itself.
