Understated, restrained performances but loud impact.
The visuals are stunning and the feel very cinematic
This film quietly holds you in its emotional gravity, Jaya Ahsan delivers a restrained performance throughout, her grief restrained yet palpable whenever she searches police stations or questions passersby, themes of trust and custody weave through the narrative, exploring whether true parental bonds are chosen or enforced, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury channels warmth and sadness through scenes where Brinda must confront her daughter's wish to leave, cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhyay frames monsoon-lit roads and interior silences with equal care, supporting actors such as Anubha Fatehpuria and Dhritiman Chatterjee add human texture without glamor, the film's length gives it room to breathe and build emotional stakes rather than lean on shock.
