The smartphone is the lifeline of social media influencer Pratyush Dua’s world. But when his phone is stolen, everything spirals out of control. His digital identity is hijacked, and his life begins to unravel.
Pratyush, played by Babil Khan, is young and ambitious. He lives for the likes and shares on his social media profiles. The film takes us through the dark side of online fame and the emotional toll it takes on the younger generation.
The movie starts on a strong note, with Director Amit Golani setting the tone perfectly. We see the fast-paced world of influencers through Pratyush’s lens. The pressure to stay viral is palpable, and we feel the strain of keeping up with the ever-changing social media algorithms and audience expectations.
The Struggle is Real
But as the story progresses and Pratyush’s real struggles begin, the plot starts to falter. The screenplay fails to create the necessary tension or explore the character’s depth.
The supporting cast lacks depth, making the plot feel disjointed. The emotional impact the film promises is lost.
A Standout Performance
Babil Khan shines in his role, bringing an honest and nuanced performance. He has a raw talent that echoes his late father Irfan’s legacy, yet he brings his unique style to the role. Despite the script’s limitations, Babil makes the most of his character.
The film touches on contemporary issues but lacks clarity and emotional depth. It could have been a gripping warning about the dangers of our digital dependence, but it falls short.
