Mohan is dealing with financial tribulations. Starting his new business of sugarcane juice is the only hope in turning things around, even in the face of several obstacles that include a faulty second hand juice machine, as well as his own temper. In many ways, the narrative pivots on the protagonist’s anger and how destructive it can be when allowed to reign free.
The storytelling is embellished with a progression that remains organically steadfast throughout. Once the initial hiccups are overcome, Mohan’s business begins to give the results he had sought, until one fine day an unexpected presence appears across the road from him - a competitor.
In the unraveling that soon ensues, the film presents a story that is balanced by a well-defined beginning, middle and end. The final result remains skilled and notable, enhanced by its competent writing and performances.
