Mind numbingly boring

Dialogues suck, acting sucks, script sucks, everything sucks

Could've been better

A new topic raised in the world of hindi entertainment, a modern day issue tried to tie up with a Romcom. Although the romance part executed good but the movie lacks in comedy aspect, perhaps the story would have been more funny and engaging if they have done more with the 'package'. They could've included the two goons and two cops more and link them with the main character and do some situational comedy or more jokes. Almost everyone performed their roles well. Overall a Time pass movie and nothing else.

Trivia
Even though the premise of this movie is known in Japan as hikikomari, a condition that is common & increasing, the movie does very little to explain or explore the condition. Hikikomari is self-imposed by young adults behaving like hermits and is similar to agoraphobia, often a symptom of PTSD. The movie uses the condition to humorously examine possible situations that a hermit-like person might encounter in today's world. They purposely avoid exploration of the actual condition because it's generally not at all humorous to sufferers, but can be managed with cognitive behavior therapy or by using a Service Dog as a partner.
