While India remains a deeply misogynistic and patriarchal society with a staggering rate of sexual assault and violence against its women, it still continues to police the women themselves instead of looking to change its problematic mindset. The film is a portrayal of the same thought by taking the viewer into an average Indian household where a widowed woman maintains a tight hold on her daughter, while turning a blind eye to the questionable behaviour of her son.
The story further draws attention to how sexual crimes are the only of their kind where the victim is asked to stay indoors while the perpetrators are allowed to roam free. The film raises all of these pertinent points and finally leads the viewer to a development that allows the characters to address the problem in their own capacity. It is in this development that the film's primary communication for the audience is also achieved.
