Bhakshak

With the recent leave your brains at home escapism Hindi movies breaking box office records by mostly glorifying violence, sadomasochism and misogyny, I felt that we are heading back to the stone age times on sonic the hedgehog or flash gordon breakneck pace with no much scope now for any kind of mind progression, empathy or human compasion.

Thats why seeing this movie Bhakshak (Predator) felt like there is still a ray of hope for compasion and social awareness for mankind.

It's a movie well made that is difficult to watch for sure but it is necessary similar to the movie Gargi it stays with you long after you have finished watching it.

Kudos to the entire team and production house backing this project so that more movies on social awareness, helping mankind, being the change are made. These type are definitely not the leave your brains at home and watch stuff but they certainly are the use your brains and compasion and work towards being the chnage type movies.

A female journalist uncovers the syndicate involved in the child abuse going on in a small orphanage located somewhere in Bihar. Sounds like Spotlight (2015), but on a serious note it's way more than that.

Bhumi Pednekar or I should say Anshuman Khurana of female actresses gives a riveting performance in this film filled with too many critically acclaimed figures. Needless to say Sanjay Mishra & Aditya Srivastav aka Abhijeet from CID are equally responsible in making this film an intense crime thriller with lots of thought provoking instances.

Never heard of the director though. Pulkit has hit the bulls eye with this project & will surely have me in queue for his next.

PS: Tagged by Netflix "Spotlight meets Khakkee", I would rather say "Spotlight with Wasseypur cast".

Positive: The dialogues pack a powerful punch, delivering a strong message for society. Viewers can take away valuable lessons for their daily lives. The negative characters are portrayed excellently, with special commendation to Red Chillies for presenting such impactful content. The director has executed their role effectively, and Sanjay Mishra delivers a solid performance as always. Overall, it's a must-watch movie.

Negative: Unfortunately, the acting, particularly by the lead actress Bhumi, falls short and feels mismatched for the roles. Her performance comes across as dull and doesn't meet expectations. Additionally, the emotional aspect of the movie lacks depth, failing to connect with the audience as effectively as movies like Article 15 by Anubhav Sinha.

This is the real India OMG. Thank you Gauri Khan for producing such a realistic movie. The actors were excellent illiciting such reaction in me . I hope there are Indians who were upset at what is going on in Bihar and other states . What does the government do. Making railway lines better railways is no feat when you cannot look after your citizens. Thank you Ms Gauri for producing such a great and very much realistic movie.there is not much to mention in writing about this movie, please get your member of parliament to watch this movie and see what is going on in the Country of India. This is not a fiction but The FACT .Thank you Mr Pulkit for writing such a realistic move . May God Bless you and grant you a long productive life. May you feel better soon. I can write much more but his is so repulsive this is. Congratulations to the person who selected the actors to do this story.

I don't watch Hindi movies much. They are all masala, macho, mumbo jumbo nonsense. I liked Bhakshak movie. The acting is decent, the direction is done well and the story is strong enough to grip your attention.

The story however is heart wrenching. It's not easy to watch the plight of the girls. Though it's a fictional story it makes you wonder if there are places like this in our country where children are suffering. I like the social message of this movie. I strongly think journalism is dead in our country compared to the west. I hope aspiring children of our future will give this field the respect it deserves.

I would vote to see more movies like this.
