introduces many interesting futuristic technologies. The ideas feel advanced, but the script explains them in a simple and easy way. Instead of being very serious, the story is told with comedy and satire, reflecting today’s social media culture in a futuristic world. The characters are shaped by the technology-driven world of the story. Even with limited visual effects, the artwork and production design are impressive. Though most scenes are shot indoors, the lighting, cinematography, and costumes successfully create the ambience of a neo-future dystopian world. The only drawback is the courtroom sequence in the climax. It goes on for too long and repeats the same ideas again and again, which slows down the pace of the film and makes the runtime feel unnecessary. Overall, this is a good attempt by Krishand to present a cyberpunk comedy. It is an interesting and creative film, even though it may not be his best work. Movie Reviewer Survival Note: “It was enjoyable while watching, even if it didn’t leave a big impact.”
