By Cryptic Entertainments with 6.5

thriller · Short Films · hindi

The film opens on a note that keeps the viewer unaware of the true intentions of the story. At first glance, it is easy to pass it off as drama. However, soon a sense of thrill, marked by a violent accident, potential for more violence, as well as unexpected comedic moments, all are attempted within the narrative. What begins as the story of a successful cryptocurrency professional, soon takes the most unexpected turn.

The protagonist starts his day with a call from his mother, insisting that he get married soon. The mother has even finalized a meeting for him with a girl and her family, forcing him to cut short his work day and head back home. However, when he reaches it, a disturbing shock awaits him, and thus begins the unraveling of events.

The end result aims to entertain the viewer while trying to keep them engaged. There is a union of sincerity and frivolity that is presented within the plot. Despite the promising production value, a rough edge or two in the department of visuals slips through; the performances remain the most notable aspect of the film.
