Pagglait

A movie that keeps getting better with every passing minute. It is not a light-hearted/ comedy movie. It is a movie about a girl coming to terms with the reality- a husband who didn't have affections towards her but leaves her with a substantial insured sum, her in-laws who deal with the emotional and financial loss, relatives who are suddenly interested in her life when they come to know about the money she has inherited.

The acting is brilliant by the entire cast which can be rarely said about a movie these days. A special shout out to Sanya Malhotra, Ashutosh Rana and Sheeba Chaddha who shine in their respective roles. Sanya is exceptional in the movie- from a naive girl to a woman who has to find her own path, she does justice to every scene. Ashutosh Rana is brilliantly cast as the father who grapples with the emotional loss and the sudden financial burden that comes post his son's untimely demise. His scenes are powerful enough to move you to tears.

Overall a must watch, infact one of the best movies to have released on the OTT platform since March 2020.

(PS- we need more movies with Sanya Malhotra in the lead, she can shoulder a film single handedly)

I am glad we had this bold content been shown and sincere thanks to people like Ashutosh, Sanya, Shruti and rest of the cast to be part of it.

The best part of the movie is content which it clearly shows when daughter in law turns to be daughter and it's time for her to pay back when in laws agrees to break society.

Great stuff! #netflix you are doing great job.

What a lovely cast! I began with this because they are the soul of the beautifully knit tale. Let's keep the technicalities aside, I want to go gaga over how beautifully so many issues have been raised with such poise without overdoing them (as most of the movies do). It's all so subtle that it just slides along with the main plot. Things as small (but as important) as a different cup given to a Muslim girl for tea or an aged person scolding a young one for things he himself is doing. Just loved all these small things. Brilliantly enacted by everyone, such beautifully written characters. I liked the subplot too but people can differ here as per their own choices. Moreover, that builds for the finale. And yes, I really liked how they ended the movie. But how did our lovely protagonist came to that conclusion? That has been drafted out perfectly. I simply loved how money changed everything in the movie and played a pivotal role in reforming Sandhya as a woman, as an individual, and as the protagonist. I might be a little generous with my rating but it's so good to watch something like this from Bollywood. We need more such movies!

There was a lot in the film which really worked for me. The whole ensemble cast gave solid performance and all the characters had certain warmth to them. Especially Sheeba chaddha and Ashutosh Rana. Trio of Sanya malhotra, Shruti sharma and sayani gupta does justice to their roles too.

It's a feel good drama about emancipation of a woman who found herself amidst a tragedy but is not affected by it at all and we are left confused why isn't she affected. It touches on too many things for its own good. I liked it but didn't love it maybe bcz the conflict was not well outlined so it left me for wanting more. I thought some subplots could have been done away with as they didn't add much to the main story. Nevertheless it's an interesting watch so go on and check it out on Netflix.

Brilliant and a very well written movie. Dialogues are terrific, delivering a sharp stab of sarcasm or a sudden spot of humour.
