Plot

The movie is about a boy striving to earn a girl's love. Mangal is a spoilt child. Both Mangal and Thoibi study at the same school. Mangal meets Thoibi when he is fighting with the gatekeeper of the school. Since then, he follows her everywhere (including tuition centres). He even follows her to Delhi. It is a love triangle film, where Langlen comes in between Thoibi and Mangal, and the film shows how Thoibi takes all the responsibilities of misclosings and misunderstandings in the love triangle.{{cite web |url=http://issuu.com/khonjelorg/docs/march2015 |title=MANIPURI FILM REVIEWS MARCH 2015 by KhonjelOrg |website=Issuu.com |date= |accessdate=2016-01-06 |archive-date=18 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118191859/http://issuu.com/khonjelorg/docs/march2015 |url-status=live }} The film also shows Thoibi and Langlen's contrasting personalities.

Reception

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."

Soundtrack

Sorri Senjam composed the soundtrack for the film and Romi Meitei wrote the lyrics. The songs are titled Mensinba Ngamdraba and Musi Musi Ngalliba.
