6/10
Above average film

Bheed by Anubhav Sinha - first of all, watching this film in black and white was a unique experience on the big screen. Set in a fictional state and town with all vehicles number plates CP. It shows what happened during the height of pandemic at a town border, when all migrants wanted to return to their town. I feel that writers literally took all the headlines going around during the pandemic, compressed them to one place and all the problems were faced in a single day.

Every topic was covered caste, religion, politics and poverty. Due to this, the story didn't feel focused and the movie's runtime was only 1h50m. This needed a slower approach and maybe it was too soon to release this film. They could have made it 5-10 years later. It shows poor management by the current govt.

The acting was wonderful, but these were the best - Rajkumar Rao, Dia Mirza, Aditya Srivastava, Pankaj Kapoor and Aushutosh Rana.

So I saw the censor board certificate which states all the cuts done in this film, I feel, due to this, 50% impact of the film is lost.
