Pagglait review: There is life after some deaths
Deccan ChronicleCast: Sanya Malhotra, Ashutosh Rana, Sheeba Chaddha, Raghubir Yadav, Rajesh Tailang, Ananya Khare, Yamini Singh, Jameel Khan, Natasha Rastogi Direction: Umesh Bist Streaming on Netflix All deaths are not equal, not even of our loved ones. Pagglait opens on the day of Astik’s cremation and then stays on, like a significant relative, till the terahvin — the 13th day when the soul, as per Hindu beliefs, takes off heaven-wards. There’s the grieving father discussing gadde ka rate, an elderly relative simmering at the raunchy, inappropriate door bell, Nazia Zaidi being served tea in special, separate cups, gossip, snide remarks, old grouses, a bed-ridden Daadi, one know-all government-servant relative. We don’t even know how he died and yet Umesh Bist creates a lovely world of Amma, Bapuji, Daadi, Parchun, and the relatives who have arrived to partake in the grief, settle grouses, take a piece of the pie.
