If the script is the skeleton, the ensemble cast is the beating heart of this film.

Shruti (Konkona Sen Sharma) is a 30-year-old on a quest for a husband, eventually finding an unlikely, comedic match in the blunt but endearing Monty (Irrfan Khan).

No review of this film is complete without mentioning Pritam’s soundtrack. The music isn't just background noise; it is a character in itself. The presence of a live band (led by a soulful KK on screen) performing in a metro station adds a theatrical, almost Greek Chorus-like quality to the narrative. Songs like Alvida and In Dino are not just melodious; they echo the internal turmoil of the characters perfectly.

The film does not shy away from the darker facets of modern life. It delves into the fragility of urban relationships, particularly through the lens of infidelity and "commitment phobia". By presenting these themes without heavy-handed moralizing, Basu allows the audience to empathize with characters who are often trapped between their moral compass and their primal need for companionship.
