    Added a delivery tip after seeing this movie

    Life as a delivery partner is far from glamorous. It's a harsh reality that exposes the stark inequality and exploitation that exists in our society. Despite working long hours and taking on immense physical and mental strain, these workers often earn a meager wage that barely covers their basic needs.

    The disparity between the wealthy and the working class is striking, with the former benefiting from the labor of the latter while offering little in return. Delivery partners are forced to navigate treacherous roads and face dangerous situations, all while being paid as little as 20 Rs for their services.

    This exploitation is perpetuated by a system that prioritizes profits over people, with companies relying on underpaid workers to maximize their margins. The heartbreaking reality is that many of these workers are trapped in a cycle of poverty, unable to break free from the clutches of an unjust system.

    It's time for society to acknowledge and address the systemic issues that contribute to the exploitation of delivery partners and other low-wage workers. Until we recognize the humanity of these workers and value their contributions, we cannot claim to live in a just and equitable society.

    Kya baat hai..

    Kapil sharma performance is just awesome . He can be seen in new avatar, different from his previous roles. Its trailer is amazing. It is a must watch movie . I assure everyone seeing this you will like this movie. Kapil can be seen in a serious role as a delivery man .

    FOR more search filming review on google.

    Stunning, awesome,great, mzedar, jhakkas,

    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.

    A New Perspective

    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.

    (Watched at the 2022 International Film Festival of Kerala at Trivandrum.)

    Too realistic!

    The movie depicts the life of a lower middle-class man and the challenges he faces in his day to day life and work. It is not just about food delivery guys but any lower middle-class Indian. I am sure some middle middle-class Indians can also relate it with their experiences, especially during or after pandemic.

    I guess almost every working Indian would be able to see themselves somewhere in the movie.

    The movie could be too realistic to digest for some people, while some people would fail to connect with the character probably because they haven't faced same issues in their lives.

    Hence, I do not recommend the movie to those who are looking for thrill, entertainment or to escape reality.

    I liked the movie and want to watch similar realistic movies with depth.

    Thanks.

    A Heartfelt Depiction of a Delivery Boy's Life

    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.
