The movie wants to touch upon some controversial and sensitive issues like the status of a single mother in Indian society, homosexuality and the stressful relationships. However the characters are ill-developed and sometimes make no sense at all. Some of their behaviour can be called plain over-reaction. Examples are Mou's sudden violence against Reshmi for a very flimsy reason - it is difficult to understand her reaction given her earlier sweet nature and even keeping in mind the little possessiveness she might have had about her new friend whom she met a day back. Also the way a smart corporate employee, Aman and a doctorate student, Joyeeta handle their relationship is quite confusing and they behave more like adolescent kids. It is also left unexplained why it is so difficult for Joyeeta to continue the relationship in the first place, even though they are quite obsessively in love with each other(importantly they both are aware of this) and there are no external pressures on them to part. Some of the symbolisms used, like the one of the bird's call sounding like a question and the union of two rivers (with female names) likened to a lesbian attachment are dragged pointlessly and can only be described as some form of pseudo-intellectualism.
