The story revolves around a money based game show around a young lad of today’s era who believes that money is everything.

In this story the message that is conveyed is that we all should value life and its gifts more than money and must avoid the rat race to be richer money wise for there are much better alternates to make a sense out of one’s life. We all know that whatever we earn throughout our lives will remain in this mortal world and one day we will leave this world in the same manner that we arrived, stark naked without anything.

The sotry is well paced with occasional comic reliefs, a fast paced screenplay with professionally done story line, editing that makes the screenplay sleek and enchanting for the audience.

Overall a cinema worth watching not only for entertainment but also to proceed in a positive way to introspect and if possible realize the dormant evil in us and take corrective actions to become better human beings towards a better society. This would be the true success factor of this cinematic presentation, if the makers through their cinema can change even one life towards betterment.
