Pagglait

Brilliant and a very well written movie. Dialogues are terrific, delivering a sharp stab of sarcasm or a sudden spot of humour.

It is definitely not a breakthrough in cinematography or anything but it objectively portrays the message it wants to.

Certainly a one time watch and the lead actress could have done better. But the movie does not feel like a drag.

It has its ups and downs. I definitely recommend.

No cuss words. No abuses. Low budget Still good enough to entertain.

A must watch.

Must watch. A topic way out of mainstream with such subtle nuisances. Beautiful.

Pagglait is yet another great addition to the series of Hindi movies dissecting the middle class Indian families and their hypocrisy.

It is a Dramedy focusing on a young widow & the extended family surrounding her during the 13 days of mourning after the death of her husband.

Most of the movie is within a house. A house crammed with so called relatives and their "well intentions", their gossip, their superstitions and their regressive mindset. Which is a perfect setup for the kinda dark comedy & chaos that makes you chuckle & uncomfortable at the same time.

This role fits Sanya Malhotra like a glove. She delivers her performance like a breeze. All the supporting star cast members are also terrific with their roles and add to the ensemble brilliantly.

The screenplay effectively balances the contrast between the rituals of death being performed vs the lives that are being lived for those 13 days. It is the mirror that I'm sure most of the Indian society will not want to look into.

The OST of the movie is singer Arijit Singh's debut as a Music Composer, and it stands out melodiously as a fresh album.

Overall I really enjoyed Pagglait a lot and agreed heavily with everything it had to say.
