What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Bobby’s viewpoint repeatedly pivots between apparent reality and illusions, making her interpretation of Keshav and the surrounding events central to the mystery.
The film combines quirky comedy with murder-related suspicion, psychological distress, and satire of how society labels people as irrational.
Bobby and Keshav’s lives are presented through unstable, conflicting impressions rather than a single secure account.
The central characters are treated as misfits, while the story questions whether supposedly incorrect perceptions can still contain valid truths.
