Pagglait Movie Review and Spoiler
Netflix, Ekta Kapoor, Arijit Singh, Umesh Best - What a surprise! After so many subtle treatments of social speech, I saw it in a small-town drama. I remembered the words of Badhai Ho, the movies in the middle-class society could not balance between exaggeration and subtlety.

| Pagglait Movie Review and Spoiler |
That's what I found in the madness of Umesh Bister. Coincidentally, Sania Malhotra is again in her career-best character. With the incredible on-cast cast - Ashutosh Rana, Sayani Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Jamil Khan, Shiva Chadda, all the different web series, the small-town movie characters seen. Arijit Singh for the first time in conducting sohaga background music in gold.
The Shanti Kunj family returned home with the boy's body on a leopard. The birds of the mahalla are also engrossed in mourning today. Everyone who walks around the house is talking. The little boy of the house is sitting in the yard with a hungry stomach and is giving it to his bald head. Sitting next to him with a bored face, his best friend also had his hands on his head. He had secretly brought two bottles of Bangla to go to the fair in the next village today. After eating the goods, the two friends will have a lot of fun with Devi and her girlfriends. Everything was ruined.
Even if the oven burns, the little boy has no food for 13 days. It is said that the corpse was burnt. Suddenly the mournful atmosphere of such a dead house rang out "Ulala Ulala Tu hai meri fantasy chhu na na chhu na maya to jawan ho gayi". Meso murmured and said, "Someone keeps this death bell ringing, it's too much, isn't it!" Beai Beain has arrived. Going upstairs, I saw the child housewife (Sania Malhotra) Divya lying down and counting RIP messages on Facebook. There is not even the slightest grief of losing a husband. With a dry face, the mother-in-law came to a gap and bowed with Uki and said- "Tea ... give me? Tea". The housewife mumbled a little and replied - "No, mother. Have some tea." Then he hesitated and said, "Send the servant to fetch Pepsi."
The story of Pagglait revolves around this widow housewife, the family was only 5 months old, after passing MA in English, she got married to her parents in an old-fashioned family, where aunt has more compassion than mother, no spark of modernity, reform, bigotry, defensive attitude, which I have seen middle-class families since childhood. When a family member dies, close relatives are coming from far and wide during the 13-day ritual of self-liberation. Pagglait is a family drama mixed with dark comedy.
Inspired by Ankhon Dekhi's cinematographer Rafi Mahmud's cinematography, Afsos, Mard ko dard nahi Lhota's insights on various socially relevant issues, I spent a lot of time with my wife, from beginning to end, mixing laughter and tears. It can be slow to watch as it is a comedy, because it is basically a story of a girl's return, finding herself back, turning around, the daughter of a middle-class family in this society, housewives are going through it. There is no sass-arm melodrama, no forced massage, or attempt to solve the problem. Just letting you know that these things are happening, we know. Whether you do something or not is up to you.
Looking at these screenplays, it just seems that no one in Bangladesh has learned them. Many years ago, I got a bit of Ashfaq Nipun-Adnan Al Rajib's Middle-Class Sentiment. No more. The sound of fireworks in the distance, the grandmother's gas leaking, Raghubir Yadav's great expression in the context of girls' menstruation - movies like Paglite are often happening in Bollywood, there is nothing groundbreaking here. But there is no better content to have fun with the Mashallah family, which is both insightful and entertaining at the same time.
I don't remember any Hindi original film on Netflix that I liked so much. The night alone didn’t feel so good, but there was a touch of improvement.
Pagglait is their best to me. Ekta Kapoor proved once again that she is good at skipping content in medium size. This same content could have been created on a completely different and loud pitch on any other platform. Here Umesh Bister took the responsibility on the shoulders of the director, came back after about 6 years, and proved that something good can be given by correcting mistakes. Otherwise, such a wonderful work cannot be expected from the makers of films like O Teri, Hero.
The pacing in the middle could have been a little better if the flaws had been caught, the opener could have been more convincing if the build-up of 2-1 characters and relationships had been better. If you want to watch well-acted, chubby social drama-comedy, you must watch everything. Sania Malhotra, Ashutosh Rana's performance will be in the head. Arijit is doing the whole 1-hour 33-minute album in his jukebox where the background music is also there, it would be nice to hear at the end of the movie.
