Regardless of their conflict, they have to work together and feed off each other’s aspects to solve the mystery. The movie brings out the concept of heroism, especially among the two brothers who have to avail time in order to save people’s lives as well as bring order back into the society. The layers of the conflict start manifesting themselves as the plot evolves while standing behind the thick haze of fire and thunder.
