Bhumi Pednekar is a very talented actress. She has proved her versatility over the years by doing many challenging roles. Bhumi has starred in many films which have a social message and try to bring a change in the society.
Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Toilet , Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Savdhan, Sonchiriya, Saand Ki Aankh, Bala, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare, Badhaai Do, Raksha Bandhan, Bheed, Afwaah and Thank You For Coming had a powerful and thought provoking message.
Bhumi is back with another women centric film titled ‘Bhakshak’ which delivers a hard-hitting message.
Bhakshak tells the story of a female journalist who investigates and exposes the child abuse going on in a young shelter house. Bhumi plays the role of a journalist for the first time in her career.
Bhakshak trailer is hard-hitting and is powerful. The dialogues are to the point and make us question our conscience. The subject has been explored many times before, but this topic needs to be said again and again.
Bhakshak will be like a mirror to the society where everyone can see themselves in the film. The characters are relatable and you will feel for them.
We often have seen stories of female journalists in metro cities, but a female journalist exposing child abuse in rural areas is rare in Bollywood. The film is not just limited to journalism, but deals with many important topics for human beings.
The film also has an extremely talented supporting cast in the form of Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava and Sai Tamhankar. Sanjay Mishra is one of the finest actors of our country and can nail each and every role given to him. Aditya Srivastava is one of the most underrated actors who has always delivered his best whenever he got a chance. Sai Tamhankar gets another character driven role.
The film is backed by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. RCE is known for balancing both commercial as well offbeat cinema. They have served audiences with many larger than life and small hard hitting stories over the years.
Bhakshak will be streaming on Netflix from 9th February. The film is directed by Pulkit and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment. The film stars Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role along with Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava and Sai Tamhankar.
