Bhumi Pednekar Says ‘Bhakshak’ Hurts More Today as Dark Truths Refuse to Stay Buried
MUMBAI, India — As Bhakshak marks two years since its release, Bhumi Pednekar says the film feels even more painful now, with real-world headlines continuing to echo its disturbing themes.
Reflecting on the crime thriller’s impact, the actress said the story remains heartbreakingly relevant. Taking to Instagram, Bhumi wrote, “Two years ago, Bhakshak travelled across borders, messages poured in from every corner of the world, not because people just watched it, but because people felt it. I was overwhelmed then. I’m heartbroken today.”
She added that the film’s focus on abuse and exploitation still mirrors reality. “Because the truth is, this story is still so relevant. Sexual violence on women and children is becoming the basic thread of us,” she wrote.
Bhumi also spoke about how recent global developments have once again exposed how unsafe the world can be for children. “The last few weeks have reminded us how unsafe the world can be for children. No child should have to grow up hyper-aware of danger. That burden belongs to us not them,” she said, adding that some films refuse to let audiences look away even after the credits roll.
Bhakshak follows a determined local journalist who uncovers horrific abuse being concealed at a shelter for young girls. Bhumi thanked the film’s creators and team for backing what she called a courageous story, saying the project will always stay with her. (Source: IANS)
