The film introduces us to a household of men, two sons, and their elderly father. As the story develops, we discover that perhaps a woman who had tied them all together left too soon, and now the fault lines have appeared within these relationships.

There are disagreements, the frustration and worry of two sons, Jay and Aman, whose father refuses to cooperate with his medication or any of the care that his sons try to provide for him. There are backhanded comments about a household, that of Jay, that did not last. All of this develops with the constant presence of Tom and Jerry in the background due to the youngest of them all, little Kunal.

A brief glimpse into Kunal’s relationship with his grandfather presents an unexpected moment of quiet and peace in all of these fraught equations. The resultant narrative becomes one defined by expert storytelling and narratorial construction. There is further an earnest exploration of loss, grief, and how they become nestled within the complexities and nuances of a familial unit.
