Kapil Sharma's 'Zwigato' to hit the theatres on 17th March, 2023

Applause Entertainment and Nandita Das Initiatives, announce the release date of the much-anticipated film ‘Zwigato’, starring Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami. The film is set to hit the big screen on March 17, 2023. 

Set in the seldom seen city of Bhubaneswar, Zwigato follows the story of a food delivery rider who grapples with the world of ratings and algorithms. Written and directed by Nandita Das, this highly topical film delves into the lives of ‘ordinary people’. If you are looking for a heartfelt, thought provoking and an immersive experience, then put it on your calendar right away.

The movie is about how life is unrelenting, but there are also shared joyful times. It depicts the everyday lives of 'regular' but invisible people. Nandita discussed how Zwigato manages the worry about losing his or her work in an interview.  A genuine worry exists now. The worry of losing your job is extremely real, and unemployment has significantly increased. The basic goal of all her films is simply to hold up a mirror to our own anxieties, ignorance, and prejudices. She believes the true goal is to get people to realise what a small change they can make in their lives to improve things. 

Zwigato had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Asian premiere at Busan International Film Festival, and its Indian premiere at Kerala International Film Festival.
