Synopsis[edit]

Sanjay on the way to see his would-be, Asha, hoping to surprise her. When she opens the door, she is surprised alright—and visibly agitated too. Asha has a conservative mother who is not at home at the moment, and the daughter worries that Sanjay's presence at this hour will turn her into gossip fodder. Besides, Asha sees Sanjay's short-temper and rude manners even to his close female friends as good enough reasons for not wanting him as her better half. She expresses her doubts about spending the rest of her life with him. He gets increasingly irritated and is desperate to ensure that he wouldn't be this way after their marriage. But we also get the sense that Asha is hiding something from us. To make matters worse, the PM announces the lockdown on the same night. Her mother won't get home on time, and since Sanjay's residence is hours away, the cops stationed outside her home forbid him from travel rest of the story forms the plot.

Critical response[edit]

Vishal Menon of Film Companion wrote, "Wolf needed a stronger point to put across than what it finally does. But it eventually ends up like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, representing problematic politics in the garb of discussion." [4]
