BHAKSHAK on Netflix unfolds a gritty and honest narrative, exposing systemic flaws with unflinching realism. Short Review: “Bhashak," Netflix's latest offering, courageously exposes systemic flaws inspired by the Muzaffarpur shelter home case. Director Pulkit navigates the harrowing tale with restraint, shunning sensationalism for authenticity. The film delves into the challenges faced by small-town journalists reporting on powerful crimes. Bhumi Pednekar shines as Vaishali, embodying the film's editorial voice with sincerity. Sanjay Mishra adds seasoned humor, while Aditya Srivastava and Sai Tamhankar deliver excellent support. The film, backed by Shahrukh's Red Chillies Entertainment, deserves recognition for tackling crucial narratives. With a focus on realism over dramatic highs, "Bhashak" stands as a testament to the importance of telling impactful stories. Full Review : "Bhashak" - the new Netflix film ventures into exposing systemic flaws without sensationalism. Loosely inspired by the 2018 Muzaffarpur shelter home case, the film feels honest for its true incident premise and realistic approach in the edit table. Direction: Director Pulkit tackles a harrowing crime against destitute children with restraint and care, focusing on authenticity rather than being dramatic. Pulkit portrays the challenges of small-town journalists grappling while reporting significant events, albeit heavy-friction from people in power. Performances: The protagonist, Vaishali (Bhumi Pednekar), symbolizes the film's editorial voice, navigating through ethical dilemmas and a heinous crime saga with a hard-hitting performance. She truly immerses in her character displaying honesty and sincerity. Sanjay Mishra is a veteran and he effortless sense of humour and practical performance is admirable. Aditya Srivastava and Sai Tamhankar provide fantastic support. Is it worth a watch? The film deserves more credit and due in Netflix, as this film is backed by Shahrukh's Res Chillies Entertainment. Kudos to him for backing such important stories that needed telling. Dont expect dramatic highs , as its as real as it can get.
