The most recent investigative drama on Netflix India, Bhakshak, starring
Bhumi Pednekar, transports viewers on an engrossing voyage. The most recent film explores the shadowy areas of society where injustice, abuse, and corruption are common. The story revolves around journalist Vaishali Singh's heroic efforts to reveal the horrific mistreatment that young girls in a shelter home endure.
The suspenseful plot of the film, which also stars Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava, and Sai Tamhanka, reveals a terrifying truth.
What transpired in Bhumi Pednekar's most recent film?
The narrative commences with Vaishali Singh's defiance of the demands made by the mainstream media. Choosing to start her own channel, Koshish News, she sets out to uncover the abuse scheme targeting young girls living in foster homes. The biggest obstacle to Vaishali's quest for justice is the adversary Bansi Sahu, who has close political contacts.
Bhaskar joins Vaishali as she begins an inquiry into Patna's female shelter homes. The girls from the Munawarpur shelter are the focus of the hunt. All of the horrors carried out by Bansi and his associates were made public by a former employee named Sudha, who fled the refuge. It was revealed that there had been forced relationships, physical and emotional abuse, and even molestation with hot chilli powder.
Vaishali works tirelessly in Bhakshak, but the government and police don't say anything. Even a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) contesting the government's inaction is launched. Vaishali and the people she knows are intimidated by Bansi Sahu and his goons during her travels, which causes her to give up on the case.
But Bhumi Pednekar's character keeps the audience informed about the matter at all times, mentioning how her family was being threatened. In addition, how the police declined to report the lawmaker with a formal complaint.
A ray of hope is soon offered by SS Jasmeet Gaur, an IPS officer. She recognises the gravity of the situation, but she also knows it will be a difficult fight. Jasmeet emphasises that strong proof is required before taking any legal action.
Vaishali tries to convey to Sudha in the epilogue of Bhakshak how much her testimony could prevent so many more abuses of young girls. She is hesitant at first, but in the end she accepts. In an anonymous avatar, Sudha shared all the horrors that took place in the shelter home on her Koshish news. Moreover, outlining the abusive acts that Bansi Sahu and his associates have committed thus far.
Bansi Sahu is taken into custody shortly after the girls from the Munawwarpur shelter house are saved. In a moving conclusion, Vaishali challenges the media's agenda, denouncing the propensity to put amusement before important subjects. She says it's important to face hard truths and invites people to consider their humanity.
Netflix is presently offering Bhakshak for streaming.
