Zwigato is a moving story about the everyday struggles and triumphs of a food delivery rider, played by Kapil Sharma. He navigates through the daily anxieties of a gig worker in the world of ratings, algorithms and incentives. His wife and homemaker, played by Shahana Goswami, explores work opportunities to support the income. Her fears of finding a job are coupled with the excitement of newfound independence. The film sheds light on invisible ‘ordinary’ people, hidden in plain sight. Set in Bhubaneswar, it is about the relentlessness of life, but not without their shared moments of joy.
The film has been showcased globally at prestigious film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival, the Busan International Film Festival, and the Kerala International Film Festival. Furthermore, the screenplay of Zwigato has been added to the prestigious the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture, a true honour and a testament to the film.
