Pagglait

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

Great performances by the veterans as well as the young actors. Sanya Malhotra continues to impress with her acting as well as her selection of scripts. The movie is about a young man's death and the impact it has on his wife and family, but at no point does it make you feel sad, in fact it's actually a very funny film. Another wonderful aspect of the film is the fact that the evils of our society have been carefully interwoven into the plot by the creators. 'Pagglait' is yet another example of how movies can not only be entertaining but educational as well. Arijit Singh makes his debut as a music composer with 'Pagglait' and he has done a fantastic job. There are just five songs in the film but every single one of them is exceptional and original. The director, who is also the writer of the film, deserves appreciation for not only gathering the courage to make a socially relevant film revolving around a female character, but also because he managed to bring his story to a beautiful conclusion.

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.

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

What a lovely cast! I began with this because they are the soul of the beautifully knit tale. Let's keep the technicalities aside, I want to go gaga over how beautifully so many issues have been raised with such poise without overdoing them (as most of the movies do). It's all so subtle that it just slides along with the main plot. Things as small (but as important) as a different cup given to a Muslim girl for tea or an aged person scolding a young one for things he himself is doing. Just loved all these small things. Brilliantly enacted by everyone, such beautifully written characters. I liked the subplot too but people can differ here as per their own choices. Moreover, that builds for the finale. And yes, I really liked how they ended the movie. But how did our lovely protagonist came to that conclusion? That has been drafted out perfectly. I simply loved how money changed everything in the movie and played a pivotal role in reforming Sandhya as a woman, as an individual, and as the protagonist. I might be a little generous with my rating but it's so good to watch something like this from Bollywood. We need more such movies!
