With a badly written screenplay, Straight to the Heart was unable to hold together the many sub-stories it wishes to narrate. From HIV awareness campaign to gender fluidity argument, the film superficially discusses its advocacies and then immediately proceeds in tackling another topic. In the end, it became a mishmash of unexamined themes left lying on the floor with the filmmakers hoping that the audience picks them up before leaving the cinema.
