Shweta Tripathi and Vikrant Massey in Cargo (2019)
The Rakshasas may have traded gadas and horns for touchpads and spaceships, but the ultimate question remains the same - what happens after death? Prahastha, a rakshasa, knows the answer. He ‘recycles’ people after death. But will his everyday ‘desk job’ help him understand an even more important question - the meaning of life?

    Different kind of movie

    This movie based a unique story , you can watch this film but if you like action film then this not good for you.

    Unique concept but boring none the less

    Cargo dwells in the bridge between death and reincarnation. The concept might be novel but the lack of solid plot makes this film a snoozefest.

    But having said that, this film is perhaps a unique take on the genre. We don't see much content in this genre.

    With not so strong performances by the actors, it feels like another hit and miss to really impress the audience.

    The only thing worth watching is its concept. Apart from that the film has nothing else to offer.

    If you are really into slow movies then go ahead, otherwise just reading the plot somewhere is enough.

    Boring

    Got nothing from the movie. Seriously looking for something in this movie with the very talented star casts. But it's a disappointing and slow.

    Surprised at the negative reviews

    This film is an original film. It has a new and path breaking script Indian cinema is finally taking baby steps into the world of science fiction. This movie deserves the applause for being a new and original Idea. Many more filmmakers will then attempt this genre. Don't write something off. People rate Salman Khan's brainless films higher than this and they don't understand the impact of original cinema. This is not a perfect film but it is a brilliant film.

    Different and Interesting - must watch!

    The plot of this movie is a little different and might not be liked by everyone. So a rating of 5 suggests that. But the movie is actually good. It fantasies a bit of what happens after a person dies and under what different circumstances a life is lost. How a soul after dying reacts. People talking about experience of talking to dead people. So an out of the box concept. Acting done by Vikrant and Shweta is good. This is definitely a must watch to get a feel of a different genre of movies. A bit of emotions, truth and fantasy.
