Though the plot of the short film was quite interesting, it built up the expectation that the movie would have a happy ending with the couple spending their life happily ever after. Though the climax made it interesting with the revelation of the boy being a cab driver. The audience can look forward to what the girl would do next. But instead of scolding or leaving anyway, the ‘filmy’ ending with the boy calling his drive a ‘test-drive’ and the girl going with him made it a treat to watch.

The dialogue delivery and representation was kept simple which made the movie look more real. However, there was a lack in the flow of the film with scenes cutting off without a proper end to every scene. But all in all, it was a simple short film with a strong message that identities of a person on a dating app can be misleading and dangerous in some cases.
