Nandita Das’ Zwigato is a moving narrative depicting the working class prospects in India through the life of Manas, a former factory manager now working as a food delivery rider for the Zwigato app. As Manas navigates his new responsibilities, the film delves into themes of job insecurities, the gig economy, and the changing dynamics of family structures over time.
In a departure from his usual comedic roles, Kapil Sharma delivers a performance that showcases vulnerability as Manas. Shahana Goswami shines as Pratima, Manas' supportive wife who also takes on work due to a shortage of hands. Zwigato portrays more than just one man's struggle for survival; it delves deeper into the emotional drive for progress and the resilience of the working class.
