A family of two, with their young high school-going daughter, live in a village after the man of the house retires from city life and decides that the peace of the village and its surroundings is just what his family needs. Daughter Sasya is an unbelievably childish and happy girl, who seems to find a sea of joy in just about everything in life. The village boys, however, have their eyes on her. Among them is Abhi (Thithi Abhishek), who takes it upon himself to silently ensure that the girl of his dreams, Sasya, is never troubled and is always well taken care of. Whether it is about seeing all her childish wishes come true, or keeping her safe from the clutches of other boys in the village or even at school, Abhi is the man, who is constantly following Sasya’s every move and ensuring she is always laughing.Trouble begins with the protector and care giver in Abhi takes on an obsessive turn. To what extent will he go to ensure all is well with Sasya, and what happens when this girl Sasya, who is clueless about his obsession, refuses to reciprocate his love or whatever it is that Abhi feels for her?While the crux of this story is supposedly about respecting women and caring for them, most of the scenes showcase male ego and chauvinism at its worst, and includes everything from stalking to absolute violence against women. But getting a hold of what this director is trying to convey requires tremendous amount of patience from viewers. If the amazingly OTT performances by the lead cast do not test your patience, the long and unnecessary scenes of a high school kid jumping up and down like an overgrown baby, or her unnecessary giggles, surely will. What works for the film, if at all, is probably the crass jokes tailormade for mass audiences that line the first half of the film, and the supposed and rather abrupt unveiling of the obsessive stalker thereafter. The music, by AT Ravish, deserves a mention, as this album is bound to appeal to the audiences better than the film itself.
