Manhole

About This Movie

So, 'Manhole' is quite a striking piece from 2016, diving deep into the grim reality of manual scavenging in India. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, capturing the despair of those trapped in this unfortunate cycle. The pacing is deliberate; it gives you time to absorb the gravity of the subject matter. You really feel the weight of caste stratification throughout the narrative. The performances are raw, very human, and they pull no punches, which adds to the film's authenticity. What sets it apart is its unflinching portrayal of a social issue that often gets glossed over. It's not flashy or overproduced; it's grounded, and that’s where its power lies.
