Despatch Movie 2024 Review
Despatch, directed by Kanu Behl and starring Manoj Bajpayee, explores the murky world of crime journalism amidst the digitalization of media. While the film attempts to combine investigative thriller elements with a deep dive into its protagonist’s personal flaws, it has garnered mixed reviews.
Strengths:
- Manoj Bajpayee’s Performance: Critics universally praise Bajpayee’s portrayal of Joy Bag, a journalist battling professional irrelevance and personal demons. His nuanced acting adds depth to a character consumed by ambition, insecurity, and narcissism​.
- Atmospheric Direction: The depiction of Mumbai’s dark underbelly is vivid, with cinematography and set design capturing the tension and gloom that envelop the story​.
- Exploration of Journalism: The film sheds light on the pressures of modern journalism, where sensationalism often trumps substance, and the risks journalists face when exposing corruption​.
