The film progresses in an interesting manner, ensuring that the viewer sits up and pays attention by the time the crux is reached. It opens in an open field with four characters. As the protagonist is singled out, he soon finds himself in a life-threatening situation of his own making. The film manages to keep the viewer engaged, catching them by surprise at the next developments regarding his mental health, past relationship and suicidal tendencies. It further offers a significant portrayal of guilt and the manner in which it could affect someone's life. The narrative, which is divided in the form of chapters corresponding to human emotions of fear, guilt and anger, unfolds to reveal a place where notions of time and space do not exist, a realm that lies in between life and death, one where you finally decide the manner in which you will leave your mortal life behind. The film suggests maturity in the manner in which it deals with its story, trying hard to maintain the gravity. The tying of ends is also achieved notably at the end, leaving the viewer with a sense of closure.

The film wants to weave a thrilling plot marked by psychosis, insanity and violence. It explores all of these elements by taking the viewer into the story of a girl and the strangeness of her experiences. A scene of romance and intimacy in a restaurant is soon changed into one defined by violence of a nightmarish reality. Matters then develop in an attempt to engage the viewer further with the plot, before finally revealing the truth (or the lack of it) of the situation during a heightened climax.

Musugu or The Mask takes a literal approach to the idea of people hiding their true intentions behind the masks they wear by concealing the faces of all its actors except for the protagonist. It wants to be a glimpse into the insincerity of the world where a man faces disappointment in love, career and friendship. With nowhere to turn, he is only left with this realisation that everyone around him always hid their true face from him by hiding behind their masks. The video is well-intentioned but needs more fine-tuning in the department of sound and visuals.
