Bheed Movie review
Over two years ago, in the blink of an eye, lots changed, for many families. After a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown was announced, several struggled to make ends meet, travel back home and feed their families. While the world saw many dying due to the virus, India, in its rural and under developed regions, saw a much bigger problem. The death toll due to unforeseen reasons than the pandemic, was unnerving. With Bheed, Anubhav Sinha highlights the struggles of the common man and India’s class difference, in a way that has not been told yet.
During and in the post-pandemic era, we have come across several movies and series that depict the struggle of the common man during the lockdown. However, Anubhav Sinha takes the struggle a notch higher with his black and white movie. Despite the lack of colour, Bheed shines with the protagonist being the ‘Aam admi’ entirely, and the antagonist being the society. It brings forward India’s age-old class difference and sheds light on the adversities the common man faced during the lockdown, while many of us enjoyed our time in the comforts of our home, preparing delectable dishes.

Bheed opens with a narration by Manoj Bajpayee. The first scene starts with a group of 16 workers walking (some barefoot) on railway tracks that lead them towards home. The workers rest on the railway tracks for the night. In a shocking turn of events, an express train runs over them, causing the brutal death of 16, including women and children, on the railway tracks.
With the opening scene, Anubhav Sinha sets the pace of the film as well gets you hooked on to what happens next. He gives the audience a jawbreaker of a scene, perfectly portrayed, which manages to leave chills down your spine. The perfection in the depiction of the opening scene leaves you enthralled and sets the seriousness of the situation, right away.
The movie then starts with a group of migrants at the Delhi state border. Pankaj Kapur makes an appearance as a security guard, seemingly doing his best to lead his ‘gawwale’. The filmmaker establishes his character with Dia Mirza, an upper class woman, Kritika Kamra, a journalist by profession.

Throughout the movie, one can clearly understand how the filmmaker focuses on the ‘Bheed’ rather the stellar ensemble cast. He uses his stellar ensemble cast to help understand the class difference and struggle of the people.
Conclusion
Bheed solely focuses on the troubles that the lower class faced during the lockdown. With the movie, Anubhav Sinha brings forward that part of India you never knew about in news channels or the social media, during or after the lockdown. This fiction turned into reality by Sinha makes it hard to spot flaws.
