The premise is obviously great for laughs, but the real star of the film is sweet little Rohan Chand as Chaitanya Chopra, a precocious nine year old who just wants to be a friend to this middle aged man , who he is competing against. Between his wide, glassy eyed stare, his squeaky, cute voice, and his adept delivery of each punchline, he is the perfect comedic sidekick to Bateman's antics.
Since then he has made many animated shorts, all relying on the same themes and motifs: destruction, beauty, meandering, the viciousness of life, the exacting nature of time, etc. Though there is something utterly menacing and frank in his shorts, they generally rely on narrative tension, and bring you into a world that makes you uncomfortable, but also satiates a part of you that wants to hear you aren’t the only crazy one in existence.
