The film introduces us to an elderly couple where both partners wish for an end to this final chapter of their lives, as well as to the isolation and loneliness that define it.<br><br>

At the heart of this desire is the very pragmatic concern of one of them meeting their end before the other, and therefore leaving the other all alone without a companion. The two lead a comfortable life, and are affectionate towards each other, but find it beyond their might to ward off the many obstacles that are ushered in by old age.<br><br>


As they seek a final solution to their many problems, the film also endeavors a comment on euthanasia. Despite the thematic concerns, the narrative is never weighed down with sentimentalism, owing to its notable writing. On the contrary, it ropes in lightheartedness, humor, warmth-inducing-chemistry of its actors, and, lastly, an endearing story of a loving couple.

If humour isn't the best way to get a message across, we don't know what is. The cake for good branding goes to Naam Dekhke Lena for successfully achieving this. The ad film keeps the viewer guessing right till the very end about what is truly happening with the protagonist. But at no point do you feel uninterested or frustrated with this delay in the resolution. Making a short film as short as this can be extremely tricky, however, if the creator is able to exploit the length to their advantage, it makes all the difference, as is true of this film.
