India Lockdown

The movie was covering the story of different sections of people from different stratas of Indian society during the lockdown phase. The story is really close to the very reality. Lives of those sections are also shown by the makers who are generally ignored. Madhav's scene is deeply emotional and generates a lot of sympathy for the couple. Immediate shift of emotions happens from one scene to the next. Its a good story which has shown many things in shorter span of time. The end was also very happy.

Talking about the characters, outstanding acting by all the actors and Mehrunisa has truly stolen the show with her acting skills. Want India Lockdown 2.0 as well.

The screenplay is decent. There are some entertaining scenes while some are boring and unnecessary. The movie is based on doctors life. Drama movie. The end of the movie is somewhat emotional. The movie is a complete adult movie. The movie has some dialogues which are meant for adults. Double meaning dialogues are more in this movie. Moreover, there is no bad scene in the movie. The movie has some comedy scenes. The performance of all the actors in the movie is good. Specially Prateik performance is very good. There is no music in the movie. I didn't like any of the songs. No background score. Overall one time watchable movie. The movie will be boring after the second viewing. Bad movie editing. A minimum of 10 to 15 minutes of scenes could have been cut. This movie would have been better if the unnecessary scenes were cut.

Talking about the performances, Ayushmann is evergreen and moves the character arc as beautifully as ever. His efforts on the body language deserve a special mention as he retains an easy-to-miss "nerd posture" throughout the film and his comic timing during confrontational scenes is just phenomenal. Shweta basu is a gem of an actor who deserves every superlative in the dictionary. More than her acting, it's her screen presence which is so bright that sometimes it even manages to almost eclipse a fantastic actor like Prateik. Aahana is fantastic in her liberal mother role but she isn't given enough to chew in the first half. Aahana does well as the self-possessed but still figuring herself out character. Special mentions for the supporting actors who plays the teen girl and the nurse.

One time watch, focuses more on the adult content, ending seems to be incomplete, there may be a 2nd part I'm expecting, never revealed about it.

Be aware that it is an A certificate movie before watching it with family.

Should've been released in 2021, the movie don't have a strong/famous actors support, feels like you are watching a good simple YouTube short film,

The music and background score is good, songs are not effective.

All you have is hilarious adult comedy, where everyone really enjoys.

The best part in the movie is it shows the life of a Pearson from rich to people who walked all the way from Mumbai to Bihar.

Verdict: one time watch, may not be for all the category people.

The director of this movie Madhur Bhandarkar has chosen a tough topic India lockdown. The movie is good and anyone can feel and relate with this movie. What we faced and how we faced and what happened during lockdown will become fresh after watching it. I think it was one of the scariest and depressing time we all went through during Corona times. The topic is vast and it's not possible to show everything in one single movie yet the director tried his best to show about the fear among the people and the conditions of the people to arrange the necessary items for them. The daily wage workers were badly affected by the effect of Corona and lockdown. Since the topic was vast so after watching it gives you a feeling of something missing or the movie was incomplete. Yes it's a one time watch movie and I think our next generation would love this movie more than us. Because we have experienced it but they will know it not only by the stories told by us but also by watching it.
