Story and Screenplay
Sachin P. Karande’s story is quite nice, especially because it has a lot of twists and turns. However, Vishal Vijay Kumar’s screenplay, although engrossing, is a bit too convenient. For example, Rishika is shown to be a simpleton but to digest that she is so dumb that she’d work under someone else’s work permit when work permit laws in Thailand are so stringent is a bit too much for the audience, more so because she is well-educated. And well, if she is so dumb, the audience feels that she doesn’t deserve their sympathy. That she is being taken for a ride becomes evident to the viewer the moment the boss starts firing the Thai-speaking liaison man in Thai because the viewer realises, something is amiss. If, in spite of that, Rishika gives her passport away to the man for rectifying the error on her work permit, she comes across as being a true idiot who doesn’t deserve the audience’s sympathy.
In a way, the screenplay writer resorts to extremes to drive home a point. Rishika’s frustration and outburst before she decides to take up the job in Bangkok are extreme. Similarly, her misfortunes in Bangkok are extreme. No harm in such extreme happenings except that in the absence of other diversions in the drama, they get on the audience’s nerves after a point of time.
If, in spite of the above defects, the drama does keep the audience engaged, it is because of the many twists and turns in it and because of the superlative performances, mainly of Deepal Shaw who plays the main protagonist.
