ReviewDirected by Umesh Bist, ‘Pagglait’ takes the greatest tragedy that can befall a woman in Indian society and turns it into her salvation. Sowmya RajendranPagglait, now streaming on Netflix, begins with a funeral. A young man, Astik, is dead. As his immediate family mourns him and relatives stream into the sprawling, ancient haveli in a small town, his widow is lying on bed... and checking Facebook.

Pagglait the film is just like its protagonist Sandhya. It doesn't behave the way it is expected to.
You would think the story of a just-married young woman who is widowed right at the onset would be sombre, all the more because the societal subjugation she tackles is focus of the plot. The film however refuses to mourn, just like Sandhya. With a quirky spin, writer-director Umesh Bist chooses to unfold his story as a comic drama. Like its heroine, the film's mood stays irreverent, unaffected by the grim reality that backdrops the narrative.
Sanya Malhotra plays the smalltown widow Sandhya with incredible authenticity. She is alone in her room, amidst a house full of grieving relatives,...

Mumbai, Jan 19 (Ians) Actor-filmmaker Rajesh Tailang, who has directed a short film during lockdown titled Trivedi Ji, has said that he would like to direct a feature film once in his life.

Tailand has his YouTube channel named Theatre Talkies, about which he said: "We make short films for the channel. I do a poetry show on it called 'Chand Pe Chai'. Annup Sonii hosts a show on different stories called 'Suni Unsuni: Stories with Anup Soni'. I made a few documentaries on it as well. It's my seventh short film. I decided to make films because sometimes we get some time off from acting projects, so in that period I wanted to do some creative work.
