The film is set in the modern era, where online communication, national television, and fast-moving economic deals drive everyday life. Relationships form and collapse across screens and real-world meetings. The timeline spans a relatively short period of rising fame, rapid personal changes, and a tragic turn.

The story unfolds primarily in urban India, centered on Kolkata's bustling neighborhoods and corporate settings, with important scenes echoing in Mumbai as Paro's career draw pulls the characters there. The cityscape serves as a backdrop for media culture, real estate ambitions, and the strain of modern relationships. The contrast between traditional family ties in Kolkata and the fast-paced, opportunity-driven Mumbai adds tension to the narrative.

A virtual friendship blossoms between Abhik and Brinda, built on selective revelation and mystery. The film explores how online intimacy can feel genuine while masking true identities, and how it can upend real-life loyalties and expectations.

🕵️‍♂️ Identity & Anonymity

Both Brinda and Abhik reveal only fragments of themselves online, creating a tension between who they are and who they present. The search for truth behind online personas drives the plot and triggers consequences in the real world.

🎥 Media & Fame

Abhik's moment of national television fame following the arms raid shows how media attention can complicate personal life and moral decisions. The film critiques sensationalism, how audiences crave drama, and how a public persona can obscure private emotions.

💔 Loneliness & Connection

Loneliness pushes characters toward connections that may be unhealthy or unattainable. The virtual bond offers comfort but also leads to isolation from reality, culminating in tragedy that affects many lives.
