India Lockdown

Following Covid-19 pandemic worldwide, life wasn't same after government imposed lockdown nationwide in India in the beginning of 2020. The lockdown had a severe effect on the livelihoods of migrant workers and life came to almost a stand still when people were confined to their homes. The effect was adverse to completely cover in a movie.

The film focuses on a smaller social strata that were effected by the lockdown, including prostitutes, a workaholic pilot, youngsters trying to lose their virginity, an elderly man awaiting to visit his pregnant daughter, and a migrant worker. The film delves much into the world of prostitutes during lockdown, and in a way it seems Bhandarkar attempts to create more of a voyeuristic movie to lure the viewers than actually depict the plight of lockdown. However, the film achieves in depicting the hardship of migrant workers left in destitute to walk days to their villages, which appears much emotional in the screen. Overall, the film has its moments but is unable to leave the voyeuristic aspect of Bhandarkar movies, making it unsuitable to be watched with your family.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4.

The director of this movie Madhur Bhandarkar has chosen a tough topic India lockdown. The movie is good and anyone can feel and relate with this movie. What we faced and how we faced and what happened during lockdown will become fresh after watching it. I think it was one of the scariest and depressing time we all went through during Corona times. The topic is vast and it's not possible to show everything in one single movie yet the director tried his best to show about the fear among the people and the conditions of the people to arrange the necessary items for them. The daily wage workers were badly affected by the effect of Corona and lockdown. Since the topic was vast so after watching it gives you a feeling of something missing or the movie was incomplete. Yes it's a one time watch movie and I think our next generation would love this movie more than us. Because we have experienced it but they will know it not only by the stories told by us but also by watching it.

Have attempted to take the audience into a zone which has never been tapped in Hindi cinema before. Even a sensitive theme like losing the male touch, among some other relevant issues that unfold in the second half, have been effectively portrayed with well-written humour and The makers of this film, Junglee Pictures, who are known to back unique and path-breaking films like Prateik and india lockdown, have attempted to take the audience into a zone which has never been tapped in Hindi cinema before. Even a sensitive theme like losing the male touch, among some other relevant issues that unfold in the second half, have been effectively portrayed with well-written humour and.

The movie was covering the story of different sections of people from different stratas of Indian society during the lockdown phase. The story is really close to the very reality. Lives of those sections are also shown by the makers who are generally ignored. Madhav's scene is deeply emotional and generates a lot of sympathy for the couple. Immediate shift of emotions happens from one scene to the next. Its a good story which has shown many things in shorter span of time. The end was also very happy.

Talking about the characters, outstanding acting by all the actors and Mehrunisa has truly stolen the show with her acting skills. Want India Lockdown 2.0 as well.

One time watch, focuses more on the adult content, ending seems to be incomplete, there may be a 2nd part I'm expecting, never revealed about it.

Be aware that it is an A certificate movie before watching it with family.

Should've been released in 2021, the movie don't have a strong/famous actors support, feels like you are watching a good simple YouTube short film,

The music and background score is good, songs are not effective.

All you have is hilarious adult comedy, where everyone really enjoys.

The best part in the movie is it shows the life of a Pearson from rich to people who walked all the way from Mumbai to Bihar.

Verdict: one time watch, may not be for all the category people.
