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.

I am glad we had this bold content been shown and sincere thanks to people like Ashutosh, Sanya, Shruti and rest of the cast to be part of it.
The best part of the movie is content which it clearly shows when daughter in law turns to be daughter and it's time for her to pay back when in laws agrees to break society.
Great stuff! #netflix you are doing great job.

A movie that keeps getting better with every passing minute. It is not a light-hearted/ comedy movie. It is a movie about a girl coming to terms with the reality- a husband who didn't have affections towards her but leaves her with a substantial insured sum, her in-laws who deal with the emotional and financial loss, relatives who are suddenly interested in her life when they come to know about the money she has inherited.
The acting is brilliant by the entire cast which can be rarely said about a movie these days. A special shout out to Sanya Malhotra, Ashutosh Rana and Sheeba Chaddha who shine in their respective roles. Sanya is exceptional in the movie- from a naive girl to a woman who has to find her own path, she does justice to every scene. Ashutosh Rana is brilliantly cast as the father who grapples with the emotional loss and the sudden financial burden that comes post his son's untimely demise. His scenes are powerful enough to move you to tears.
Overall a must watch, infact one of the best movies to have released on the OTT platform since March 2020.
(PS- we need more movies with Sanya Malhotra in the lead, she can shoulder a film single handedly)

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.
