Anand is a recluse who interacts with no one - at home or at his workplace. He takes care of his bed-ridden father, a young son, and all his professional duties. We continue to go deeper into his life, but the reticent protagonist offers no verbal expression to help the viewer know him better. However, the visual development so far has painted a life of difficulty, isolation and oppressive unhappiness before us.
When Anand finally begins to talk, at the prodding of a kind, well-meaning colleague, the revelation arrives. It is in this that the film’s core message lies, a social comment about the misuse of those tools that are present for an efficient functioning of society. Instead of a shield, however, they are being wielded as a weapon, adversely affecting more than one life, states the film. Additionally, it remains marked by competent performances throughout, and an adequate balance between dialogue and silence to share this story.
