Anubhav Sinha’s Bheed is a perfect example of how good intentions don’t always translate into powerful films.

Bheed begins with the real-life incident of 16 migrant workers who were run over by a train. It is successful in highlighting the plight of migrant workers.

There are several other issues that the director tackles. Caste is tackled through Rajkummar Rao’s Surya Kumar Singh Tikas. Rajkummar Rao proves his versatility.

Through Pankaj Kapoor’s Balram Trivedi, Anubhav Sinha exposes the prejudices related to Muslims. But fortunately, the character is not one-dimensional.

Entertainment

The film tries to address too many things at the same time. As a result, it never comes across as a comprehensive whole.

The love track doesn’t make any sense. Bhumi is feisty but nothing is outstanding about her performance.

Entertainment

Kritika Kamra has an impressive beginning, but the director has no idea about where to take the character. Dia Mirza gets the most baked character in the ensemble.

Soumik Chatterjee’s black-and-white cinematography takes some time to get used to but it is an interesting experiment.

Entertainment

There is no scope for songs in a film like Bheed but the composition of “Herali Ba” is quite powerful.
