Zwigato is movie made in beautiful city of and depicts what an ordinary family faces in the post-pandemic world. Kapil Sharm, who rose to prominence due to his comic timing, will play a serious role in the film. MUST Watch movie starring kapil sharma,Shahana Goswami.

Nandita Das stunned me via Zwigato with two things. One, the beautiful way she has weaved topics of caste, unemployment, poor handling od pandemic in India, the gig economy, class, family, and patriarchy. Two, the amateur filmmaking and production value of the entire setup. Going in to the movie - especially with how the central app is designed or the attention to details - you almost wonder why not much thought was gone into it and it's working. It's a bit satirical but more than anything Zwigato gives you a new perspective about online food delivery. As a mere consumer, Zwigato surprised me and think will make me a bit more patient and considerate while ordering food online. The jibe at Zomato and Swiggy is immense here to the tune of lawsuit vulnerability.

Nandita Das' latest directorial venture, Zwigato, is a movie that tells the story of a man who becomes a delivery boy to make ends meet after losing his job during the pandemic. Kapil Sharma's performance as the protagonist is remarkable, and he does an excellent job of portraying the struggles and hardships of a middle-class delivery boy.
The movie is a tribute to the working-class people who bear the burden of running our cities while dealing with an ongoing employment crisis, inflation, and social and gender justice. It is a silent recognition and request to respect and empathize with an invisible class of workers.
Shahana Goswami's portrayal of the silent support that women provide as equal pillars of a simple family is noteworthy, adding a layer of subtlety to the movie's message. The film is slow-paced, but it is in those slow mundane moments that we see how a working-class person battles and parallelly lives with complicated overarching issues of religion, class, and caste.
Zwigato is a movie that dwells on the positive side of contemporary cinema, and the performances by the cast are exceptional. Kapil Sharma's performance is praiseworthy, and it is entirely different from his typical persona as a comedian. The emotions that he portrays are authentic and will leave a lasting impression on the viewer.
The beauty of this movie lies in its cinematography. The frames are raw in nature and showcase a realistic depiction of a delivery boy's life. The background music is melodic and could have been used more significantly.
However, the screenplay is the real culprit that cuts the score of the movie. It does not seem like a long story but many anecdotes joint together to serve an episodic type of content. Nevertheless, the subtle humor that is spread in these joints contributes the most in saving the flaws.
Overall, Zwigato is an emotional movie that touches the heart and soul of the viewer. It is a message in itself and will make the viewers realize how often they are rude and inhumane with these delivery persons who work hard but do not earn much. It is a must-watch for those who want to understand the life of a delivery boy and respect them for their hard work. I would rate this movie 7 out of 10, and I recommend it to everyone.

Kapil Sharma is back on big screen after years of break. The expectations were set high after the trailer release. But in reality, the film fails to deliver it for the most part.
Pretty much everything was revealed in trailer itself. Most audience are curious to witness the climax. But with Zwigato, even the climax is a miss. One never knows where the film began, where it is going and where it ended. It was too abstract for a movie.
The effort of the director to earn respect for gig workers is the only thing that actually succeeded. It does touch the softer side of audience. But did it really require a 2 hour movie for it? I don't believe so. Everything one sees in the movie was actually present in trailer itself. The predictability element was way too high.
Kapil Sharma plays his part well and connects with audience due to the common man looks and the familiarity. Shahana Goswami does great job playing as a loving and caring wife and earns sympathy of audience for the struggle that the underprivileged go through.
Overall this is strictly an one time watch OTT movie at max. One can avoid that too by just watching the trailer because the movie didn't have anything interesting per se, which was already not shown in trailer.

This is exactly the movie to epitomize what a director can give us viewers a gift!
I have not been a fan of nandita das as a director, actor yes. This movie will very pleasantly eat my words. Again director is the key. Even an untrained nobody like me can work in your film since you are there.
I believe that KS is a still a soft mud earthen pot that you can still shape. He is very smart and he is the example what street smart means! He used it to his advantage and truly deserves what he has achieved!
ND: is a great eye for talent and how to work producers to fund the movie. Well ma'am I had a crush on you and still left my bias away from this review!
Great watch Ma'am!
