For the uninitiated, here's a term to look up - post micturition dribble (PMD), or after dribble, a phenomenon specifically related to men's urination. The short film offers a lighthearted exploration of the same while steering clear of scientific jargon. The narrative too comes to be marked by similar ease and playfulness as it introduces us to a single character and his experience with PMD. The film, a solo project, does not take itself too seriously, and as a result, succeeds at garnering laughs at the expense of the protagonist. Despite the intimacy and the potential requirement of the graphic detailing of the subject, it does not invoke discomfort in the viewer, and entertains them instead. As the plot dabbles with cryptocurrency, a second pandemic that has overwhelmed conversations like nothing before lately, it further extends its buoyant approach to the same. Consequently, this allows Drip to maintain the joviality of its tone all along. When it comes to the protagonist, however, he commits the cardinal sin of looking up an otherwise mundane body trait online. Will the answer that he finally receives hold the solution or clarity he is looking for?
