'Mahol Garam Hai' imagines a reality in the year 2048 in the fictitious region of Dhundlukapur. The place is marked by the strangest event where every year the government legitimizes a month of rioting. In order to safeguard themselves, the residents keep appliances and other items outside their houses for the rioters to vandalize and annihilate.
By bringing the said reality to life, the narrative presents its vision of dystopia, alongside an investment of thought in the manner in which the screenplay is constructed. The intensity invoked on screen is in tandem with the gravity of the subject matter.
The film presents a thought, a cause, but does not go all the way in exploring the effect. Perhaps the thought could be engaged with further in a longer project in the future. In its current state, however, the end result succeeds in lucidly establishing the world, reality, and the premise of all the different directions the story can develop in.
