The film starts with Saanvi Jain (Anupriya Goenka), a very famous and successful novelist, sitting next to a bed in a hospital, where her husband Abhimanyu Jain (Rajeev Khandelwal) is lying in a coma.

Abhimanyu was a decorated air force pilot in his life. But 3 years ago, he had a major air crash. While saving many lives in a village, he damaged his physical body completely and had been in a coma since.

Sanvi loves her husband very much, and will do anything to bring him back to life. She has been waiting for her husband for 3 years.

The story is told in a hospital room but is a treat to watch. The couple is having a discussion about life and the decisions to be taken keeping their future and their only son in mind.

Creator and director Manu Chobe hits the right chord between practical life and connections we form with our loved ones. The narrative is excellent.

Talking about the performances then, Anupriya shines in this small and effective film. Rajeev also does a good job, but the former steals the show 

Overall, it is a perfect watch during the quarantine.

Team Tellychakkar goes with 3 stars for Heartbeat.
