After its World premiere at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival on September 22, 2022, and  Asian premiere at the 53rd International Film Festival of India, Goa, Lost is now streaming on ZEE5. Yami Gautam is back with another excellent performance after A Thursday and Dasvi, this time as a crime journalist. Lost is inspired by true events. Directed by National Award winner Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Lost starts on a promising note but seems to have lost at the climax.

Yami Gautam is proving time and time again that she is one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood in recent times. Her performance in A Thursday, Dasvi, and now in Lost is remarkable. She is the soul of the film. The way she gets into the skin of the character is simply brilliant. Pankaj Kapur, a versatile actor, makes his presence felt in every scene he is in. Other actors, Tushar Pandey, Rahul Khanna, Pia Bajpayee, and Neil Bhoopalam, do not have much to do in the film.

Lost starts on a promising note on the streets of Kolkata. The story tries to highlight several social and political issues. Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury has kept the pace of the film slow. The film never speeds up to top gear and goes at the same pace. The plot is gripping but ends up in a rather dull climax that spoils the fun at the end. The background score of the film keeps you engaged throughout.

 

Final Verdict

The film, that could be an edge-of-the-seat thriller, leaves many questions unanswered. It sheds the light on the national topic of people going missing every hour, but it misses the powerful execution in the end. However, Lost can be watched for the journey of Vidhi Sahani and obviously not for the climax. We give this Yami Gautam’s film Lost 3 stars out of 5. Have you watched the fmovie How did you find it?
