The film does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or storylines. The social landscape focuses on conventional relationships without any queer subtext or criticism of straight relationships.

The film features a predominantly Indian cast that accurately reflects the Mumbai setting. It avoids Western casting norms by embracing a culturally specific majority cast.

The story critiques the commercialization of healthcare and systemic corruption within medical institutions. It navigates the characters' absurd circumstances through situational ethics and moral relativism.

A central plot device involves a character in a coma. The film avoids sentimentality, instead treating this physical incapacity through a dark, absurdist comedic lens.
