A very common complaint among people who admire sci-fi movies like Her, Gattaca, Interstellar, Contact, etc is that Bollywood or India doesn't make any sci-fi movies. So to me it was one of the better things to come out of India cinema and I'm happy to see that at least people are finally experimenting with sci-fi genre.

Maybe one or two things could have been better (like the ending or cgi) but this movie also got a lot of things right.. like for starters, no simplistic dialogues like Krish or stupid characters like Jaadu. Thanks for assuming your audience has some IQ and not dumbing down everything (my biggest gripe with indian sci-fi).

Sci-fi movies made in India are a rare genre, and many duds and flops later, no one is even willing to experiment in this genre anymore. So this short film is definitely a great experiment. The plus being that it comes with a really important message, which affects everyone's lives today and tomorrow - Pollution.

The film is set in a dystopian future of 2067, where oxygen has become so scarce that it has become the new and the most expensive drug of the town, whose price is only comparable with another drug, water. Random, a guy with an artificial heart is the dealer of this drug and he wishes to become rich and finally escape to Mars, where apparently all the rich people have flown off to.

For a short film, the visuals are really great. The acting is good, Jackky Bhagnani was good in his role as Random, Nawazuddin, Prachi Desai and Yashpal Sharma were good in their minimal roles. The story is quite simplistic and straightforward but the message delivered is the most important aspect of the film.
