Zwigato movie review: Nandita Das' third directorial is such a powerful mirror to today’s India, which has always grappled with staggering disparities between the haves and have-nots.

The film, set in current times in Bhubaneswar, explores the life of Manas an ex-factory floor manager. After losing his job, he is forced to work as a food delivery rider, grappling with the app on his phone and the world of ratings and incentives. He struggles to make ends meet for his wife, Pratima, his two children, and an ailing mother. Simultaneously, Pratima a homemaker, begins to explore different work opportunities to support his income. From being a masseuse for rich women to a cleaner at a mall. The fears of these new experiences are coupled with the joys of a newfound independence

Zwigato is the story of Manas Singh Mahto, a gig worker who lives in Bhubaneswar with his family. It is also the story of an India that has been invisibilised in Hindi cinema, and even more crucially, from the national discourse controlled and shaped by the all-powerful TV media. When India is shining, why speak of the darkness of those who have no jobs, or are yoked to endless ‘shifts’ with no time for a meal, or a well-deserved time-out?
