Bheed

Anubhav Sinha wrote, directed, and produced the 2023 Indian Hindi-language social drama film Bheed. It is a fictitious narrative set during the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown in India. It stars Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Pankaj Kapur, and Kritika Kamra in the key roles. The film follows the story of a group of migrant workers who are trying to return to their villages during the lockdown. They face many challenges along the way, including discrimination, violence and bureaucracy. The film is a powerful indictment of the government's handling of the lockdown and the plight of migrant workers in India. Bheed was released on 24 March 2023 to positive reviews from critics, who praised the film's hard-hitting message and performances. However, the film was a commercial failure, grossing only ₹3.33 crore (US$420,000) at the box office.
