The film opens on an oppressively despondent note. All of us at some point have felt the overwhelming burden of a rut, of a mundane life that is constituted by living the same day over and over again. Our protagonist is located at the heart of one such circumstance.
Even on the day of his birthday, the emptiness and isolation of his lackluster life have left him drunk and alone in his car. However, when his path crosses with two men in an unlikely manner, a story of thrill and foolhardy behavior commences, a story that is never devoid of humor and an inherent bonhomie. The two constantly define the situation as the protagonist now finds himself celebrating his twenty-ninth birthday with four men living a life vastly different from his.
The chemistry of the actors, and the performances they bring to life, embellish the film markedly. The film is an honest glimpse into a problem that often plagues urban existence, and presents storytelling and world-construction that exhibits deep potential and must be explored further in future projects.
