Set in a dystopian future where the country is at the brink of an impending war, the police are tasked to capture the homeless and get them admitted to a mental hospital. The hospital is full and the staff is forced to release few to accommodate the new patients. One such patient to be released is the nameless guy (Tovino Thomas) who is good with all gadgets, lives in a railway bogie and has a special talent i.e. Being able to talk to the dead. He is friends with an ailing old man with two of his grandkids and also a woman who is a neighbor too. The film paints the lives of these individuals amidst the threat of war and the impact it has on them.
I did not like the way film ended suddenly so let me put it out here first. Barring that, I thoroughly liked the world built here and the transformation Tovino Thomas has gone through to fit into this character. Nimisha however is too natural and hee performance is organic as it can get yet Tovino gets to drive this story forward. The messaging about the anti-war and what the dead represent to the establishment is another highlight. It does get preachy but the way anti-war messaging is put forward through pro-music is quite impressive.
