The story revolves around a visually impaired musician (Vikrant Massey) who embarks on a train journey to a hill station. He meets a young theater artist (Shanaya Kapoor) who is also traveling on the same train. What ensues is a series of charming and often witty conversations between the two, leading to an undeniable connection.
The central conceit of the film, borrowed from Bond’s story, is that both characters are, in their own ways, concealing a truth about their sight. The man is actually visually impaired but doesn’t want the woman to know, while the woman, unknowingly, is also visually impaired or is playing along with the charade. This creates a delicate dance of deception and perception, leading to moments of both humor and poignant realization. The film explores themes of love, perception, vulnerability, and the idea that true connection can transcend superficial appearances. While praised for the chemistry between its lead actors, some critics noted that the film’s stretched sequences and a certain “illogic” in its premise could be challenging for viewers.
