The Strings is like a canvas with multiple colours splashed across the board. This is also an image that the film realises in its form. A film that blends other art forms into itself is always a visual delight.

On the level of the content, the story deals with a serious issue, that of mental health. It depicts the polar struggles of an individual with a mental illness who can be a prolific artist, painting bold strokes at one moment, and be completely overcome by cobwebs of complacency and melancholy.
