Dreams, hopes, and sometimes the failures they lead one to, are inevitable parts of everyone's life, and the film engages with this proposition. Further, there is a reminder of how deeply failure can hit when you are constantly reminded of it by those around you, despite all your best efforts to overcome it. It is on these emotions that the narrative pivots, introducing the viewer to John, an aspiring actor who is working hard on getting an opportunity to act. As the story develops, it further brings in elements of the supernatural, magic and fantasy. When life offers the protagonist an easy route to make his dreams come true, what will he choose? There is also a portrayal of the manner in which he deals with his success and failure, especially when those who once rebuffed him, appear in his life again. The one sentiment that remains pervasive throughout the film is of warmth that emanates from, as well as reminds you, to never give up. This is further tied with a sense of morality that enable the protagonist to be a better person, also allowing the film an organic, fitting conclusion.

The film is a story of violence, deceit and jealousy. It takes us into the lives of two actors, Arjun and Johnny. While the former seems to be climbing the ladder of success with sturdiness, the latter is far from that, leaving him with bitter resentment instead. Arjun might still view Johnny with kindness, but a far different story is forming within his friend. As matters come to a head, a terribly dark development makes its presence felt. The short film further aims to embellish itself with stylistic choices and plot points to keep the viewer engaged, all the while endeavoring to entertain them right till the end.
