Synopsis

A lighthearted film emphasises the significance of condoms and addresses the social stigma associated with their usage.

Story

In Orcha, Madhya Pradesh, Manokamna Tripathi works as a sales agent for a local condom maker. A sad turn of circumstances forces Manokamna to devote herself more personally and responsibly than ever before in her career. Will she finally find her family, steeped in traditional and orthodox views, by her side, or will she have to paddle through alone? The answer to this question has a significant role in the plot.

Review

The film dealt with a worthy issue that has to be addressed in society, but as viewers, there is nothing particularly outstanding or novel.
When it came to the plot, the film was very predictable. The punch lines were good and were chosen to keep the film’s tone light.

In terms of the actors’ performances in the part, Nushratt performed a good job and was fairly subtle throughout the film. Anud Dhaka, the male lead, did a terrific job in the first half of the picture, but in the second half, his acting took a turn and got a touch over the line. To be precise the actor in the supporting role played a very important role to keep the audiences intact

Vijay Raaz represents the patriarchal voice in a strict household setting. He not only picks the accent properly, but also clings to the character throughout its voyage. Tinnu Anand and a handful of other supporting artists did an excellent job as well, and a bit more of them have been loved. Their talk, particularly that of Manokamna’s co-sisters on the terrace, breaks up the monotony of the story. The punchlines are delivered with impeccable timing and flair.

There is nothing much when it comes to technicalities. All-inclusive It was entirely predictable, except for the notion. Everything about the film was slow and dull.

The film’s soundtrack has the ability to shine as well. Though there is sufficient opportunity for it during the film, the songs on the record do not compel you to press the replay button. Overall, Jai Basantu Singh makes a convincing Bollywood debut as a filmmaker, but he has a long way to go as the captain of the ship.

This is a fun picture with a strong message that might have been packaged and delivered much better.
