India seems to be a k-shaped economy. How does the other half, the one who delivers stuff- expensive or otherwise for us, the one whose professional and personal life were impacted by COVID and who had to resort to desperate measures, to survive, live? What do they dream of?
Zwigato, a play on Zomato + Swiggy, is a heart-touching, slice of life film. The delivery rider, played with uncharacteristic seriousness & astonishing brilliance by Kapil Sharma, is the protagonist through whose, sometimes amused and mostly tired & hopeless, eyes we see the normal world, which we inhabit. His efforts in getting incentives and his family's attempts to stay afloat would leave you gutted.
I don't agree with Nandita Das's politics, but she has really gone into the depth of the characters and their lives, to come up with the screenplay, full of vivid situations in which the delivery partner finds himself in.
It is thought provoking, gripping and will make you be respectful towards the so-called gig workers.
