Mumbai, Feb 14 (Ians) Actress Sai Tamhankar is proud to be a part of ‘Bhakshak’ and said that it is rare for an actor to be a part of projects that go beyond box office collections.
‘Bhakshak,’ a gripping crime thriller, has not only secured a prominent position in Netflix India’s top films but has also earned the coveted rank of number one.
“When you make a film, you don’t really know or cannot predict its fate or how people are going to respond to it. But every time you attempt something different as an actor, you feel the energy. ‘Bhakshak’ was one of those projects. While shooting, we felt that we wanted to say something important,” Sai shared.
The movie, which sees Sai portraying an Ssp alongside Bhumi Pednekar’s character, a fearless journalist, delves into the disturbing reality of rampant child abuse in a shelter home in Bihar.

Bhakshak (Netflix)
Starring Bhumi Pednekar, Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava, Sai Tamhankar
Directed by Pulkit
From its prologue where a young girl is brutalized and then left to die, to its closing monologue where investigative journalist Vaishali Singh looks straight into the camera and asks us if we have lost all compassion… Bhakshak resonates with the corruption and brutality of our times.
Bhakshak is set in a hell-house camouflaged as a shelter home in Munnawarnagar, a thinly veiled reference to the shocking gruesome crime in Muzaffarpur that had shaken the nation’s collective conscience in 2018. But what did we do? Did we go beyond out tsk-tsks in our living rooms?
Pulkit’s film does much more than make polite noises. It is a film of smothered shrieks and chilling recriminations. It is partly a true-crime thriller that Costa-Gavras would approve of, and partly a severe docu-dramatized condemnation of our socio-political reality...

Bhakshak is Netflix India’s latest addition to the investigative drama sub-genre involving journalists who want to fight the system and bring justice to the needy and the destitute. Starring Bhumi Pednekar, Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava, and Sai Tamhankar, the movie is about a journalist trying very hard and risking her life to prevent the abuse of many young girls at a shelter home. The road to victory is paved with many obstacles, and the lead goes through an arduous journey to make sure her goal is fulfilled, and the media talks about the issue at hand.
Spoilers Ahead
What Happened At The Shelter Home?
Bhakshak begins with an older man smugly claiming to have sexually abused a girl when she refused to give him consent. The young girl was in a lot of agony, and the caretaker was helpless because no doctor was willing to attend to her as the scenario was illegal.

Bhakshak by writer-director Pulkit seems to have been reverse-engineered to quite a degree, which is why the result isn’t as engaging as it should have been. What is the issue here? It’s hard to pinpoint in a single viewing, but there is an instinct that points to the answer. The movie, written by Jyotsana Nath alongside Pulkit, has a significant idea at the center of it, but how best to show it becomes the issue. You have to have the right scenario and a carefully planned-out sequence of events that invites the audience into the world of Bhakshak. The film stars Bhumi Pednekar, someone who has quite boldly chosen films with something to say. She seems to be the one figure in the film that the audience can see and then can immediately be on board with the plot of the film. As far as having a relatable figure is concerned,...

When asked about the film’s premiere taking place at Iffi Goa, the actress said: “I couldn’t have possibly wished for more. For the film to be premiering on such a revered and respected platform is a huge honour.

Mimi(Netflix, Jio Cinema)
Starring Kriti Sanon, Pankaj Tripathi
Directed by Laxman Utekar
Somewhere in the middle of the paternity muddle created by a screenplay that is smart and savvy but not always logical, a doctor played by Jaya Bhattacharya looks straight at expectant mother Kriti Sanon and says, “Your unborn child will be born disabled…. He has Down Syndrome”.
What????!!!!
Later the child is born perfectly normal. No one thinks of taking legal action against this abominably ill-informed doctor. Instead there is the child’s legal parents, an American couple who should be denied visas the next time they decide to come to India to collect a baby, threatening to take the child’s biological mother to court. Pregnant pauses are alien to the world created in this entertaining but somewhat irksome dramedy.

Laced with a moody and melancholic charm, the newest track from Mimi Rihaayi De is A. R. Rahman at his finest. The track is composed and sung by Mr. Rahman and his surreal vocals glide over the captivating music. The song features hauntingly touching lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Some songs make you jump in joy, others make you rush to the dance floor, but very few melodies dive directly into the bottom of our hearts and never let go, Rihaayi De is that kind of a tune.
Why is Mimi distraught? What is she hiding? What happens next? The 30th of July will give us answers.
