Dark comedy is the film’s tonal anchor. Moments that could be purely tragic are played for absurdity and vice versa, creating a moral ambivalence that keeps audiences off-balance.
Central themes include mortality and the search for meaning. Raghu’s diagnosis catalyzes questions about how to live when time is limited; he oscillates between hedonism and tenderness, illustrating that radical freedom can be both liberating and self-destructive.
The film also examines alienation in urban life—how people share space yet remain emotionally isolated—and how chance encounters can briefly dissolve those barriers.
