This was a very nice movie I must say.
Zwigato, directed by Nandita Das, dives into the harsh realities of the gig economy through the story of Manas (Kapil Sharma), a former factory worker turned food delivery rider. The film sheds light on the daily struggles of migrants like Manas and his wife Pratima (Shahana Goswami) in a bustling Indian city.
Kapil Sharma delivers a powerful performance, shedding his usual comedic persona to portray the frustration and desperation of a man clinging to dignity amidst financial hardship. Shahana Goswami complements him as the resolute Pratima, navigating societal expectations and gender roles.
The film excels in its portrayal of the grueling life of a delivery person. From battling scorching heat and traffic jams to dealing with demanding customers and exploitative algorithms, Zwigato paints a vivid picture of the human cost behind our on-demand convenience.
While the narrative explores the socio-economic struggles effectively, the pacing can feel slow at times. The film doesn't shy away from portraying the harsh realities of poverty and societal indifference. There are moments of tenderness and humor too, but the overall tone remains one of quiet resilience.
Zwigato is a thought-provoking film that compels empathy for those on the fringes of the economic boom. It criticizes the exploitation inherent in the gig economy and the societal disregard for those who keep our lives running. The film's strength lies in its authenticity and its nuanced performances, making it a worthwhile watch for those seeking a realistic portrayal of the human cost of progress.
