‘Despatch’ Movie Review: Manoj Bajpayee Shines in Gritty Drama
‘Despatch’ explores the story of Joy Bag (Manoj Bajpayee), a flawed crime reporter chasing a dangerous scoop in 2012. His pursuit takes him through personal struggles, toxic masculinity, and the fading world of print journalism. The film doesn’t glorify its protagonist, instead showing his vulnerabilities and complex character. Bajpayee delivers a raw, intense performance as Joy battles personal demons while chasing a story that could cost him everything.
While the film captivates with Bajpayee’s performance, it struggles with unclear plotlines and a male-gaze issue. Despite its flaws, ‘Despatch’ dives deep into the blurred line between morality and self-preservation in journalism.
A raw, compelling take on a journalist’s struggle with integrity and ego.
