Qailah and Ekansh are a loving couple, and yet, our first introduction to the film's world is not by way of this relationship. Instead, it opens on a note that suggests a far darker reality. As the narrative moves between past and present, constructing its nonlinear trajectory, the cards get revealed one by one. 

The story comes to be marked by the endearing chemistry of the two actors, a dedicated desire to share its views with the audience, along with attempting a conversation on issues of mercy killing and organ donation. While sadness and loss come to define the narrative, sometimes even engulfing these intentions, ‘The Waiting Room’ finally pulls itself together as it moves towards the achievement of the final goal of telling an emotional story. This is further coupled with echoing ethical and social realities surrounding the aforementioned concerns.

The short narrative ropes in a competent performance and visual progression to talk about the very significant and noble issue of organ donation. By portraying the plight of a mother who awaits a donor for her unwell young daughter, the intentions of the film are presented with lucidity. 

The plot and screenplay serve to fulfill the sole purpose of raising awareness by drawing us deeper into the struggles of the mother, and in the process, succeed in not only delineating her helplessness but also presenting the film's intentions and ideas to the viewer. The idea established in the title is pronounced emphatically, further reminding the audience of the crucial role they can play in helping another in need simply by being a little more informed, and aware of their own capabilities.

I Saw is an internal exploration. It seeks to blur the lines between fact and fiction, dreams and reality, real and unreal. The desire to produce a complex screenplay to complement the storytelling is an
ambitious feat, and must be appreciated so. The film, an engagement with different aspects of the human mind, however, could have benefited from more lucidity during the climax, allowing the viewer to participate in it better. Overall, it is a devoted attempt to share its story and plot with the audience, while also paving the path for more projects by the team in the future.
