Kapil Sharma’s latest film, ‘Zwigato’, has finally reached the masses with its release on Amazon Prime Video, and the internet is buzzing with praise! The film, directed by Nandita Das, follows the story of a delivery boy (played by Kapil Sharma) who lost his steady job as a factory supervisor during the COVID-19 pandemic and is now struggling to make ends meet as a food delivery worker.
Released in theaters in March last year, ‘Zwigato’ received critical acclaim but failed to make a splash at the box office. However, its digital release has proven to be a massive success, with viewers showering the film with positive reviews.
The digital audience has been particularly impressed by Kapil Sharma’s performance, lauding it as “stellar.” Many viewers highlighted the film’s poignant exploration of the struggles faced by gig workers, emphasizing its thought-provoking nature and the importance of its message. Social media users have also showered praise on Nandita Das, calling her a “legend” and hailing ‘Zwigato’ as a “gem” and a “must-watch.”
“Zwigato pivots another genre switch for Kapil Sharma! From being India’s best stand-up comedian, he moved on to anchor a long-running talk-show, and now, he plays the lead protagonist in a topically themed film with quite an ease. Keep shining,” one user remarked.
Another user echoed this sentiment, saying, “Kapil Sharma’s stellar performance in Zwigato resonates deeply! This thought-provoking film sheds light on the struggles of gig workers, sparking crucial conversations. A must-watch!”

Portrays the online food delivery scenario of increasing riders, petrol costs, and diminishing incentives. A little offline tip can be something that we can do to support their efforts.
