The short film exhibits originality of thought and treatment. The idea is to perhaps convey our deep connectedness with each other as a species, which also makes us highly susceptible in the case of a contagion. The narrative employs the use of the same physical space of a single room, along with a group of people. Further utilising an economy of dialogues, it puts forth a message - of how a health facility's waiting room can become the very source of a issue or problem potential patients must be trying to fight and avoid. The film manages to convey it all, taking full advantage of a concise script where brevity becomes its notable feature, along with the simplicity of its execution.

The film portrays a single moment of stress, nothing more, and resolves the tension as swiftly as it presented it. The scene is of a hospital where two characters impatiently await something. This impatience is communicated to the viewer by means of their own respective indulgences - nicotine and sugar. If a man smokes a cigarette, allowing his body to be consumed by the smoke, the little boy accompanying him sucks on a candy. The reason for this desperate wait is not revealed until the very end. And when it finally arrives, it is quick to unfold and conclude. Though made up entirely of stills coupled with some background sounds, the film exhibits aesthetic knowledge and taste, which perhaps can be explored further in future projects.

Using an iconic song from one of the most successful Bollywood films (Ae Watan from Raazi), the music video chooses nationalism and patriotism as its core. The same is communicated to the viewer by means of a narrative which is about a character risking his own life to save so many others. Further, the location the film uses is of a hospital where a whole community of people come together to take care of each other. It is against this backdrop that the drama of the plot unfolds.
