Mumbai: After the knock of Corona, the memory of the lockdown in the country is still fresh in the hearts and minds of the people and in the meantime Madhur Bhandarkar’s new film, ‘India Lockdown’ has also knocked. The film has once again reminded the audience of the painfully long lockdown faced by the entire section of India during the Corona virus epidemic. Four stories have been shown in the film, which are linked together somewhere.

Through India Lockdown, Madhur Bhandarkar has tried to tell how people from different sections of the society were suffering from the fear of deadly disease. People did not even know where the food would come from and where it would work.

story of the film
Through India Lockdown, Madhur Bhandarkar has come up with the story of that era, when the whole country was imprisoned in their respective homes. It was the time of nationwide lockdown due to the Corona epidemic. When people had lost their livelihood. Prateik Babbar has played the role of a daily wage laborer in this film, whose name is Madhav. Madhav, along with his wife Phoolmati (Sai ​​Tamhankar), who works as a domestic help, gets trapped in a web of helplessness in Mumbai, away from their village due to the lockdown. There is neither the means of food nor of income. Madhav and his wife also have two small children.

Madhav decides to go to Bihar with his family, but this decision becomes painful for him when neither he gets any means to go nor enough food. Starvation and extreme fatigue drive them to do the unthinkable.

On the other side is Phoolmati’s owner Nageswara Rao (Prakash Belawadi) who is unable to help her as his society has banned the coming of servants. He is driving to Hyderabad with his pregnant daughter, during which he also has to face many problems. There is a story of girls engaged in prostitution in Kamathipura. Mehru (Shweta Basu Prasad) is a girl living in Kamathipura, whose entire earning stops due to the Corona lockdown. She adopts a new way to earn.

Now comes the story of Moon Alves (Aahana Kumra), who is all alone and remembers her assignment. Wearing her uniform, she gets ready to find her company. On the other hand, his neighbor is also lonely and is anxious to meet his girlfriend. Madhur has created some such scenes, which startles, scares and makes you cry. Leaving the track of Prakash Belawadi, the rest of the four stories written by Madhur are brilliant. But, somewhere in this, the diversity of the lockdown in India is not visible, which the audience was expecting.
