Zwigato is a drama film directed by nandita das.
Kapil sharma and shahana goswami work effortlessly here. Both of them compliment each other so beautifully. Kapil brought the hidden subtlety in his performance. Nothing out of beats. Shahana has always been a wonderful performer, providing here nothing else. The two kids are cheerful and bring a joy into the sorrow which is being radiated throughout the screenplay.
The characters of manas and pratima are of utmost importance and have been fleshed out superbly. Manas, who seemed like a perfect man, does possess a male ego which you will see eventually. Pramita is submissive and accepts every insult thrown at her, which is her weakness. The screenplay in the first half is outstanding. It is an engaging, immersive experience. But in the second half, when kapil looks for other jobs, the film loses its grip. It has its moment in those sequences, but drags a bit too much.
The sound design is good. This film required minimal use of it, and got exactly that. The bgm has a beautiful use of string music.
The commentary on class divide and economic debacle during the covid is brilliantly shed light upon. The class divide exists on every level, not only between the rich and working class but also between the latter and the poverty line people. There are some pretty detailed scenes in this film, which highlight the same. But the angle of religion seemed a tickpoint only. Some scenes could have been definitely edited better. The climax is one of my favourite scenes from the film.
This is a mighty good film, not perfect, but absolutely relevant, impirtant and immersive.
