This is a good thriller film based on a hostage situation. The film starts with showing the self respect of Iqlakh Alam (Dev), who works as a janitor on contract basis at a corporate office in Kolkata. Suddenly his job is snatched away by the service manager of the office as Iqlakh protested on the event of passing some communal comments to him by some employess in the lift.

On the next day, Iqlakh kidnaps a kid from a nursery school makes her hostage in the same office where he used to work. The baby girl is the daughter of Ira (Swastika Mukherjee) an employee of some other office.

To rescue the babu girl, CP (Kamaleshwar Mukherjee) of Kolkata Police gives responsibility to ACP Maya Khastogir (Rukmini Maitra).

ACP Maya tries her best to rescue the child by having continuous conversation with the kidnapper. But on the other hand, Ira kidnaps Guddu (son of Iqlakh) and makes him hostage at the same building.

We see Bristi (Sreeja Dutta) & Tintin (Aryan Bhowmik), reporter-camerman duo of Sky News, recording some exclusive footage of the hostage scenario by hiding somewhere in the floor. They play a pivotal role in the later part of the story.

We also see Anubrata Adhikary (Paran Bandyopadhay) as local politician cum business tycoon in a very cunning attitude.

The climax of this film is totally unexpected. It turns the plot 180 degree suddenly.

Talking about the technical aspects of the film, Rukmini & Swastika is fantastic in their respective roles. Dev is also brilliant as lower middle class helpless person.

Sreeja Dutta & Aryan Bhowmick have shown some good bonding of their friendship throughout the film.

Sujan Mukherjee as TV channel editor-director is good in his role.

Paran Bandyopadhay is also very good with his expressions. His vast experience in acting helps him to play this role effortlessly.

Tota Roy Chowdhury is also fine in his role of Mr Sanyal (husband of ACP Maya). But his screentime is very less.

Kaushik Sen as Altaf Alam is good. His character was totally unexpected as that wasn't mentioned in the trailer. Although personally I think Kaushik Sen could be placed as elder brother of Iqlakh.

The BGM & songs support the screenplay of the story. They don't hinder the progress of the story.

Camerawork & screenplay is very good.

Throughout the film, there are subtle comedy punches.
