In another sequence, Madhav digs into a pile of garbage looking for some food- that was so distressing and left a lump in my throat. He emotes his part so well that he lets the pain his character is going through moved me to tears. It was heartwrenching to see migrant workers walk miles every day in scorching heat without food and water for several days. Madhav (Pratiek) along with his wife Phoolmati (Sai Tamhankar) faces the most gruesome challenges when the lockdown was enforced. In fact, Prateik Babbar’s performance as a migrant worker stood out.
