Nandita Das' #Zwigato isn't an easy film to watch. Reminds you of the many instances when you have ignored the delivery person, or shouted at him for being late, denied him/her suitable ratings. In short, behaved high-handedly with them, a privilege that money gives you. Reminds you of the large chunk of population that still struggles to bring food to the table, while a privileged minority orders and wastes it. Reminds you that the mall cleaner - who picks your trash, is a person with dreams and hopes. And a family to provide for. Reminds us of the busted "achhe din" dream that was supposed to light up everyone's lives, not just a select few. Watch it. For #kapilsharma and #ShahanaGoswami . Their superlative performance that doesn't look like acting at all. For artists like #nanditadas who have the guts to show reality in all its stark form. For a mirror to a skewed world where pets have access to lifts, but domestic helpers have to use the back entrance ...
