The film has many producers, including Director Rajesh Gupta and Kumar Bhosale. The writing credit goes to a talented team of Kunal Solanki, Vidhyanand Kadukar, and Rajesh Gupta. The Lyrics for the film were specially curated by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Kumar Bhosale himself cast the talented actors for the film.

Plot

The plot follows the lives of four individuals and their hardships during the Covid-19 pandemic. This film focuses on people's ordinary lives during the pandemic and how it affected them in several ways. The story revolves around Rajesh Gupta self-centered businessman, and his wife Sonal [Devika Daftardar], who are struggling with the needs and demands of the family, a mother-daughter duo played by [Hemal Ingle & Indira Krishnan] who are not able to obtain a death certificate and struggles with carrying the last rites for a family member and a driver working in an ambulance giving his best to help those in need during the lockdown. How did these characters get involved with each other? How their meeting changes the perspective of their own unfolds one by one in this life drama.

Star Performance 

The actor played their part well, Rajesh Gupta, as the businessman, is convincing, and Pitobash's character makes the movie a whole lot better. At the same time, Shivani Surve did her part well and wished him to leave his risky job while Indira Krishnan as a mother is compelling but some parts of the film could have been better like narration and dialogue. The background score given by the music director is ordinary but not memorable, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's lyrics are good, and the editing done by Santhosh Gothoskar is satisfying. Rajesh Gupta who is also the director and producer of the movie sometimes appears a little over the top but entirely satisfactory in the climax.

Analysis

Overall the film is not entirely remarkable, but a reasonable effort was made by Rajesh Gupta and the actors. Honestly, the Public wants to forget the lockdown days but this film reminds them of the horrifying days and not even in an entertaining manner. The film lacks character depth and layers, and something feels lost. The music also doesn't help the movie improve it adds to the overall length of the film. This could be a good movie with 1 hour duration but unnecessary scenes and plot make it boring diverting the actual cause or reason behind the film. There are some heart-touching scenes but other than that there are not some worthy moments to look forward to in this Hindi movie.

What’s There?

  • Good acting
  • Fresh concept
  • Relatable and relevant to society
  • Camera work and editing

What’s Not There?

  • Weak direction and dialogue
  • Narration is weak
  • Story has no grip
  • Long duration 

 Verdict

If you don't have anything else to watch and want to revisit the lockdown days you can indeed watch this but other than that this is a long movie that won't leave you entertained or cinematically pleased.
