From a narrative perspective, the film interestingly touches upon the theme of fandom and the nature of stardom. In the film, the lines between the actor and the character blur. Pappu worships the image of Sapna, unaware of the real person behind the makeup and lights. The film uses comedy to explore this disconnect.

The subplot involving a murder and the characters' attempts to hide the body is a direct nod to Hitchcockian thrillers (specifically The Trouble with Harry ), adapted heavily to fit the Bollywood slapstick mold. This blending of dark comedy with musical romance is a risky endeavor, and the film's success in balancing these tones is mixed but admirable in its ambition.
