The movie addresses class privilege in a subtle manner – especially contrasted with the character of Sky – a Berkley student who belongs to a wealthy family. It shows the extremes people take to make their lives better, either by resorting to crime or struggling very hard to achieve their dreams. It shows how completing one’s education is extremely tough and how a streamlined job is all one can go for and choose, ensuring at least a decent meal. The movie shows the derogatory condition of the slums in Mumbai, where Murad lives. Her mother keeps pressurising her to get married as quickly as possible. She admits to her parents, much to her mother’s anger, that she wants to enjoy parties, meet people and talk to boys. She feels suffocated because all she does is go to college, then to her father’s clinic and come back home. Safeena has her fair share of struggles too. There is a very powerful scene where Sher shames men for taunting a girl who was performing on stage – through verse and some foot-tapping rhythm. He channelises his anger and grief into his rap and teaches Murad to do the same, asking him not to get affected emotionally by what people say. Siddhant Chaturvedi, the actor who played the role of MC Sher and Murad’s mentor, knows the ups and downs of life, as he himself has been raised by an alcoholic father and has been trying to make it as a rapper too. The chemistry between the two is wonderful on-screen and seems effortless.
