Children, on the other hand, need to be honest, as Asha says at the end of the film. The film portrays the need for parents to stop, listen and trust their children instead of pretending to be at par with the current generation. While they want their kids to be truthful, their overprotection backfires and often ends up causing bigger issues. Grimcutty, therefore, is the physical manifestation of the parents’ hysteria. Even when her eyes are barely open and her head is still buried in the pillow, she doesn't seem to be based in the present. The intricacies are perfectly portrayed through Asha reaching out for her phone first thing in the morning. From the work from home scenarios to the phenomenon of online classes, life in the 21st century is intricately connected with technology. Grimcutty’s social relevance spurts into a post-coronavirus pandemic world, where everything is commanded by technology and social media. Nor does it try and explain how distant and unrelated, yet global peer pressure is at work in such social media challenges. However, the film doesn't do enough to set the context for the psychology behind social media challenges. The film does not blame either the teenage kids or the parents, but looks at social media and technology addiction as a collective problem. Social media has become a way for them to not just keep a check on their children, but also find solutions online. It is ironic as they seem addicted to the same agents that they claim are distracting their kids.
