'Bhakshak' movie review: Well-intentioned bore
Updated On: 10 February, 2024 11:44 AM IST | Mumbai | Mayank Shekhar
Think of Bhumi Pednekar as an Erin Brockovich kinda character, if you may—suitably subdued and sincere; hardly the screechy embarrassment she put herself through in her last outing in theatres, Thank You For Coming (2023).

Still from Bhakshak
Movie: Bhakshak
On: Netflix
Director: Pulkit
Actors: Bhumi Pednekar, Sanjay Mishra
Rating: 2/5
Bhakshak (Predator) is a realistic film. The only element of fantasy in it is the fact of a two-member, gritty, crusading cameraman-reporter/anchor team, on a Kinetic Honda, running a TV plus YT news channel, that has devoted itself to cover one story, in shocking detail, relentlessly over days, if not months, to uncover the serious shadiness going on inside an all-girls’ shelter.
The news channel is Patna-based, with its reporting remit across Bihar—basically, towns named here such as Samastipur, Sitamarhi, Munger, Darbhanga, Hajipur, Madhubani Motihari… The only place that perhaps doesn’t exist is where this film is supposedly set, i.e. Munawwarpur.
