Alright, first of all this is no Memento or similar types. Its an ambitious little film and its low budget. This combination usually results in a disaster and this one maybe an exception, just about. I came across this film at an underground cinema screener in West Mumbai, India and the little audience in attendance was completely intrigued throughout the film and continued to discuss the story after the end credits. It's an unusual film in the sense that it's very restricted (characters, locations, production value etc.) and very incessant (It's ambition to not veer off the one man's story). The film starts slow and draws us into Jacob's troubled married life and then takes a turn, shifts, turns again, spins, catches breath and repeats until it reaches the climax where its a free fall before the resolution. There is no point in going into the actual story as this one is the kind where you must experience and/or feel it. I am truly frustrated by this little film as there is unarguably "something" about this film that touches/disturbs the viewer but it feels not entirely realized at the same time. It's rare that so much emotion is shown between a married couple within the thriller genre in American films and maybe that's why this feels like a "foreign film". It's a very David Lynchish in its approach and while it manages this very well, little bit more budget and production design would have made it more accessible to a much wider audience. I would watch out for this Writer-Director future work.Ultimately if movies like Memento, The Machinist, Primer and such movies are your cup of tea (reference to a great add on in the film ), you'll enjoy this in spite of all its flaws. A generous 7 out of 10 for the brilliant effort.

I have never been fired up enough to make a comment on IMDb but after watching this movie I just could not help myself. This film (if you can call it that) is easily the worst travesty in cinematic history and believe me I have seen some bad movies in my time. There is only one reason for anyone to ever watch this film and that is if they are having trouble sleeping as it knocks you out faster than an elephant tranquiliser.I implore anyone that is considering renting this movie to spend an hour and half doing something more fun with their time (like castration or dinner with the mother in law) Shot for under $500,000 (I would guess it was shot for under $100) the acting is non-existent and at the end of the film I was still looking for a plot. In short anyone that had a hand in making this film should do the industry a favour and quit before they torture the public with more of this tripe.

This movie was t e r r i b l e! The acting was...*shudder*. And that's a shudder in a bad way FYI. The receptionist at Jacob's workplace was probably the best act in the entire film. Jacob's relationship with his hot, young wife is far from believable, and the "scary, suspenseful" scenes made me laugh out loud. The love scenes looked like something from a softcore porn channel (oh yes, I know)Better acting can be found in the Incident in Lake County.If I could bash this movie any more, I would. I just lack the vocabulary, grammar, and time*shakes head*

This movie feels like it was a senior art school project conceived and executed on too much acid. If it had been 15 minutes long I might have appreciated it as amusing but thankfully it went on long enough to exhibit every possible limitation of writing, acting and directing ability that this team could share. With a bit more effort at emotion on the "actors" parts, that is if they weren't just friends of the director, it could have claimed to be camp. I guess I watched the whole thing, while asking myself why many times, because I couldn't give up hope that there was some point to my torture only to be rewarded with an ending just a couple steps up from it was just a dream, on the triteometer. And what's up with both the director and writer having the same first name: Harsha? Is that Hindi for, 'Don't make a movie with a someone who's also named Harsha'?
