It is a love triangle film, where Langlen (Sushmita) comes in between Thoibi and Mangal, and the film shows how Thoibi takes all the responsibilities of misclosings and misunderstandings in the love triangle.^[2] The film also shows the contrasting personalities between Thoibi and Langlen.

Reviews

khonjel.org wrote,"Amukta Ani tries to show the dutiful Bala with a big heart, big enough to sacrifice her love. All the characters are presented in an extreme way. The movie begins to fall when it comes into climax. I think it is because of the extreme characters."^[2]
