The pandemic has not only impacted the health of millions of people but has also affected the economy and livelihoods of many. The lockdown, which was imposed to curb the spread of the virus, brought the country to a standstill and left millions of people stranded without food, shelter, or transportation. The upcoming multi-starrer film “Bheed,” directed by Anubhav Sinha, aims to shed light on the untold hardships faced by the common people during the lockdown.
The trailer of “Bheed,” released on 11th March 2023, has garnered much attention and appreciation for its strong storyline and powerful cast. Starring Rajummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Pankaj Kapur, and Ashutosh Rana, the film tells the story of how the pandemic and the lockdown impacted the lives of millions of people across the country.
Dia Mirza, who plays a mother in the film, shared her thoughts on the trailer, saying, “This trailer reminds us of the vast suffering of millions during the lockdown and captures countless human stories of loss, heartbreak, and helplessness that have never been documented fully.” The trailer showcases the struggles of the common people, who faced immense challenges during the lockdown, from losing their jobs to being stranded without food or shelter.
In the film, Dia’s character is unable to reach her child during the lockdown, which leads to a drastic change in her life. Dia further adds, “It was easy for me to imagine the horror of being apart from my child in the middle of a massive humanitarian crisis, but this story is also about much wider issues of privilege and deprivation, power and powerlessness, humanity and inhumanity, empathy, and apathy.”
The film’s director, Anubhav Sinha, known for his socially relevant films like “Article 15” and “Thappad,” has once again touched upon a sensitive topic and aims to bring attention to the plight of the common people during the lockdown. Speaking about the film, Sinha said, “Bheed is a story that needed to be told. It is a reminder of the vast human tragedy that we all witnessed but perhaps did not fully comprehend. Through this film, we aim to give a voice to those who suffered during the lockdown and make people aware of their struggles.”
The film’s release date is set for 24th March 2023, and it is expected to make a significant impact on the audience. The trailer has already created a buzz, and the powerful performances of the cast have received much appreciation from the audience. With its strong storyline and impactful message, “Bheed” has the potential to be a game-changer in the Indian film industry.
The pandemic and the ensuing lockdown have been a challenging time for everyone, and it is essential to acknowledge the struggles faced by the common people. The film “Bheed” is a much-needed reminder of the human tragedy that unfolded during the lockdown and aims to create empathy and understanding towards the people who suffered. It is a call for everyone to come together and build a more compassionate and equitable society, where no one is left behind.
