This film story is based on Run Lola Run film. But if you haven’t seen this movie yet, there’s something more in this film. The writers delivered a masterstroke by drawing parallels with the mythological tale of Savitri & Satyavan. Hence Savitri becomes Savi and Satyavan becomes Satya here. 

The cinematography adds to the visual richness of the film. Also the moody lighting and the entire stylization of the film are worthy of praise along with frequent split screens, work for the movie. Additionally, Savi is portrayed in shades of green, whereas Stya glimmered in shades of orange.

Soundtrack

The background music amalgamates rock, pop, and EDM. Additionally, The songs come in the right places and do not disturb the narration.

Editing style reminded me of @edgarwright , which was mostly closeups and flashy cuts.
