Despatch Movie REVIEW | Sucharita | Manoj Bajpayee, Kanu Behl | ZEE5 Global

Manoj Bajpayee steers most of the movie on his able shoulders, and occasionally his bare bottom.

Despatch Movie Review by Sucharita - Despatch is a good “Mumbai film”. The city here isn’t a polished postcard of cinema and promise; it’s an urban sprawl, brimming with equal parts crime and grime. Dusty windows, loud honks, and fluorescent-lit warehouses. Behl and ace cinematographer Siddharth Diwan capture a city negotiating between survival and decay. The instantly recognizable floor tiles and kitchen walls of cramped Mumbai apartments, lend the film the authenticity that helps grounds the sprawling narrative unfolding in the newsroom. Duniya bhar se le aao kahaaniyan, aana yaheen hai waapas.

Despatch is drowning in nihilism, which I don’t mean as an indictment. It has many a question to ask: How can journalism fight capitalism when the latter owns the former? How can truth prevail when media houses are reduced to profit-driven enterprises? These questions however are posed with such excessive despair that you may finish the film not with clarity but with exhaustion. It may feel unsatisfying because it's not meant to satiate or provide catharsis, one might even say it's defeatist. As expected, Manoj Bajpayee steers most of the movie on his able shoulders, and occasionally his bare bottom.

I'm not reviewing Pushpa because I'm not reviewing Pushpa. Sit down.

Well, I believe Kanu consciously crafted the story with the resemblance to the real life crime reporter J. Dey. That's why we get to see a reel-real kind of similarities. Where in the end nothing worked out as it was happened in real life.

The lust side of the Joy is really a mess. It could have just a thriller without those unnecessary adult scenes.

[baggapapa]

so exhausted with every one of your reviews being a feminist reading of the film... just review it man..

[abhisheksharma]

If you've seen it, could you review "One hundred years of solitude"? A remarkable adaptation imho

[bhawnaKK]

Love your work and happy that we still have honest film critics. Keep up the good work ❤

Have you thought about also making videos about non film related topics- world happenings, current world news, etc. I would love to hear your thoughts and the way you approach these topics.

I did not understand. Both the film and the review are beyond my understanding.
