Zwigato movie review: what critics say (9)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 4 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances. Criticised: the script and the emotion.
Zwigato is a reminder that the more things change, the more they remain the same, or even regress. Nandita Das storytelling style is so unpretentious and subtle, that she could easily be underrated.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
Manas, an ex-factory floor manager loses his job during the pandemic. He is then forced to work as a food delivery rider, grappling with the app and the world of ratings and incentives. Life is relentless for him, but not without shared moments of joy with his wife, Pratima. The film captures the life of invisible 'ordinary' people, hidden in plain sight.
