‘Sab Theek Hai' utilizes competent vocals, and performances, along with an efficient employment of space and resources, to conjure its world for you. This is further coupled with an edit that supports the music video in achieving its goal. The narrative maps a boy's life, right from infancy to childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. 
Something is to be said about the cyclicality of existence and a person pushing forth the same reality he has grown up to interact with and understand. Even though several things are wrong and questionable with the said existence, the desire to assert that everything is indeed alright, as established in the title as well, never wavers, ensuring that the cycle never breaks either. All of these elements are thus tied neatly and with care to finally present the end result for the audience to engage with.

Sab Theek Hai | Short Film Nominee

The film is a lovely, entertaining watch that takes a light-hearted, but unmissable, look at one’s preoccupation with thoughts that may never materialize in the real world. The moment chosen to explore all of this is also defined by zest. It is the very instant when a boy is about to hit a potentially winning (and therefore marked by extremely high stakes) goal for his team during a football match. In that single moment, a whole universe of anxieties and overthinking is conjured both for the viewer as well as the protagonist, with each scenario more terrifying, and humorous, even if it at the expense of the protagonist, than the previous. 

Despite a little inconsistency in its visuals, the film’s storytelling becomes its most marked strength, along with the character of an endearingly stern mother, brought to life by a convincing performance.
