Bheed

This is a film about a dark aspect of our (India's) society, which came to light during Corona lockdown of March 2020.

The film weaves through web of the class-caste, professional privileges of the characters in the film. It brings in front of us the crisis of migrant workers attempting to return to their villages.

They left villages in search of livelihood to the city, the city, they and many of us, considered our to be our home. But during the lockdown, cities were least concerned about the workers who make city a comfortable space for living.

This film is not for entertainment. It is for making the viewer question, their own system of rights, justice, privileges and their compromised existence.

This is a black and white film, which symbolically represents the ways of thinking and behaviour, dating back to the era of films in black and white, a long time ago.

The ways of our thinking are old, outdated and static. The use of black and white filmography clearly brings this out.

This film doesn't give you any shocking images, neither it gives you any climax. But it will make every sensitive person to sit through the film, without giving them a room for thinking anything else than what they see in the film.

Characters in the film are very real, they represent various sections of the caledioscope that Indian society is in the 21st century.

Very good dialogues, acting and direction.

The movie's story is around some true events during the COVID lockdown. It shows the failures of the mismanagement of the Indian government.

The direction and acting of all the actors were perfect. The story raises many issues, like our society's caste system, polarization, and misinformation. The movie also shows how we are all humans. Do not fall for the negative reviews.

The story is about multiple characters who either needed to leave their homes in a big city or got stranded and needed to reach some location due to the lockdown.

On the border of a fictional town, a police officer and his subordinates are supposed to stop the crowd from entering the town.

If you like movies closer to reality and are unafraid of seeing the uncomfortable truth, please watch.

BHEED is a slow, intense, unrelenting, thought-provoking, and above all, a CHALLENGING film.

It sets itself apart from other COVID-19 dramas by also being an effective contained thriller set in a secluded police checkpoint near a mall.

Pankaj Kapur, Rajkumar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar give some of their best performances to date in this film.

BHEED is indeed a slow burn, and will not appeal to everyone. Do not expect a conventional, action-heavy thriller from this movie. BHEED shows the harrowing real, but unseen stories of the pandemic, the ones that many of us had turned a blind eye to.

I do have one criticism of BHEED - some of its stories (particularly the one about the divorced mother) were not developed enough to have any lasting emotional impact.

Anubhav sinha after mulk, article 15 and thappad expectations were set high, with bheed he somehow manages to deliver what audience will appreciate.

Movie could have been better but this dosen't mean it fallen short anywhere.

Bheed manages to touch one's heart & soul, feel what our migrant brothers and sisters went through when we went into lockdown.

This movie showcases the frustration, fear, care, anger which makes you feel what I would have done if I was locked in such a situation.

Every emotion was captured perfectly in this movie be it, How the Govt just ignored it's own people, at a time when the common people wanted them the most.

Or How people managed and survived with each others help, this is what makes true India.

Rajkumar rao, Pankaj Kapoor, Rana, Bhumu, Dia, Virendra & many more everyone gave excellent performance, proper casting is the added plus point and strength of this movie.

Not a great one but very near to it.

A must watch movie to get the feel of what actually happened during that difficult time.

Bheed by Anubhav Sinha - first of all, watching this film in black and white was a unique experience on the big screen. Set in a fictional state and town with all vehicles number plates CP. It shows what happened during the height of pandemic at a town border, when all migrants wanted to return to their town. I feel that writers literally took all the headlines going around during the pandemic, compressed them to one place and all the problems were faced in a single day.

Every topic was covered caste, religion, politics and poverty. Due to this, the story didn't feel focused and the movie's runtime was only 1h50m. This needed a slower approach and maybe it was too soon to release this film. They could have made it 5-10 years later. It shows poor management by the current govt.

The acting was wonderful, but these were the best - Rajkumar Rao, Dia Mirza, Aditya Srivastava, Pankaj Kapoor and Aushutosh Rana.

So I saw the censor board certificate which states all the cuts done in this film, I feel, due to this, 50% impact of the film is lost.
