The most multifarious flock trammeled tightly together to look and feel like one, Indian society but has traversed through several curves where it almost fell apart and it didn't. One such has been the recent and still prevailing Covid contagion. Set during the early onset in April 2020 when the whole world groped and dabbled to appraise how pernicious its footprint would be. Overwhelmed by ominously creeping fear of unbeknownst when instinct was the only defense, when the entire country was ordered to lock down for three weeks, thousands of daily wage earners from various cosmopolises embarked upon a walk back home from asphalt jungles on to asphalt beneath their blistering feet. It will be years before history deciphers if they had better options. In a fictitious suburb Tejpur in a fictitious state in India they hit a checkpoint set up under nationwide restrictions to travel as a preemptive measure to contain the spread of the most intractable virus known to mankind. The travelers were not prepared for this nor was the person in charge of the checkpoint. Surya Kumar Singh was on his first independent charge to manage this post. Suddenly this 100 meter long traffic jam turned in to a microcosm of the most disparate, unalike and the largest such society in the world. Surya Kumar at the helm representing the order must transcend across his own personal history of feeling inadequate to fit in must protect the sanctity of the society that India is. The people that looked like a 'BHEED' must feel like a society. India must win.

Anubhav Sinha’s black-and-white film exposes social injustice with pieces arranged for a big bang, only to splutter and subside, but not before raising some uncomfortable questions.

What Bheed might lack in depth and nuance, it makes up for with an underlying sense of urgency.

2.5/5

With the context missing, this well-intentioned film becomes less than its powerful moving parts.

Powered by persuasive performances by Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Kapur, and Aditya Srivastava, the film addresses the spectre of caste and class divide in the times of COVID-19.

Bheed (written by Sinha, Saumya Tiwari and Sonali Jain) never comes across as surface level representation. Part of the reason being the film is telling a story we are acquainted with if not conversant with the details.

Furious but compassionate, bleak yet not entirely without hope, Bheed is a movie defined by duality — of its characters, its themes, and even its politics.

'Bheed' is a powerful lockdown tale that is intense, unrelenting and thought-provoking throughout.

Synopsis

The most multifarious flock trammeled tightly together to look and feel like one, Indian society but has traversed through several curves where it almost fell apart and it didn't. One such has been the recent and still prevailing Covid contagion. Set during the early onset in April 2020 when the whole world groped and dabbled to appraise how pernicious its footprint would be. Overwhelmed by ominously creeping fear of unbeknownst when instinct was the only defense, when the entire country was ordered to lock down for three weeks, thousands of daily wage earners from various cosmopolises embarked upon a walk back home from asphalt jungles on to asphalt beneath their blistering feet. It will be years before history deciphers if they had better options. In a fictitious suburb Tejpur in a fictitious state in India they hit a checkpoint set up under nationwide restrictions to travel as a preemptive measure to contain the spread of the most intractable virus known to mankind. The travelers were not prepared for this nor was the person in charge of the checkpoint. Surya Kumar Singh was on his first independent charge to manage this post. Suddenly this 100 meter long traffic jam turned in to a microcosm of the most disparate, unalike and the largest such society in the world. Surya Kumar at the helm representing the order must transcend across his own personal history of feeling inadequate to fit in must protect the sanctity of the society that India is. The people that looked like a 'BHEED' must feel like a society. India must win.
