Unpaused: Naya Safar

If you haven't watched it yet, no need to read the reviews, just go and watch it because it's beautiful, it's sad, it's lovely, and it's enjoyable.

Many anthologies have been made in the last few years. Ankahi Kahaniya, Ajeeb Dastaans are two examples. But Unpaused: Naya Safar eclipses them all. The last story is the best by far, but it is best to watch it in sequence to set up the aura, the depth of the issues, to dive deep in the times of early 2021.

The stories are very real and are depicted in their full reality without adding dramatizing elements. The direction is great (no overuse of portrait mode) and many many new actors are shining in great roles!

This Unpaused series is a step up from the previous one. In terms of storytelling all five stories are unique and cater to a different echelon of the society. They are not only unique in terms of their story but also unique in terms of they have been told.

Each of them so different that the whole series can't be judged based on one. So judging each episode on its own merit, i found the "War Room" and "Vaikuntha" as the special ones. They not only tell the story about people getting effected by pandemic but they also present a story which at its core is human. Waghmare's moral dilemma about her personal story against the responsibility add an interesting conflict. Similarly through Vaikuntha we can get a peek into a unique point of view into the story of a frontline staff.

Performances in each of the short are exceptionally well. And thoroughly enjoyable.

Overall this show is yet another feather in the cap of the new age storytellers cropping out of the country.

I like all story except the last one which was quite slow.. I strongly recommend this movie to understand the COVID situation who were people suffered lot.. Must watch movie..!

Nagaraj Manjule! What acting. Without much in terms of dialouges, he conveys so much. Truly the hallmark of a great actor. Warroom was another touching story with excellent acting by Geetanjali Kulkarni. Other stories were ok too i guess. But for me, Vaikunth was the best.
