The next day, only after surrendering to the police, the fight against an impressive and corrupt system of Costao began, as he gave all himself to prove his innocence. What if Sejal Shah’s biopic started with this chilling episode?
HisDirector debut Costa, The Hindi thriller on the ZEE5, Sejal believes in linear story tell, and this approachlesss the intensity of his hero’s incredible journey. Like many biopics, Costao There is material with a family friendly drama. Therefore, the film is recited from the point of view of Costao’s younger daughter.
The film, established in the 90s, tries to establish Costao as a fitness eccentric, which keeps its job and country closer to heart. There is a slight contingent from the proceedings as the scenes are marked with dullness. Relative to operation, Costao Instead of seeing his hero as a traditional, a unique character, presents as a traditional, Russing hero. Even the dramatic chase, which comes with a funky background score in a broad daylight in the busting of Gold smuggling of Elmao of Costao, makes it difficult to take the scene seriously.

During the film, we understand real Costao. He is a person who prefers to see a lighter side under serious conditions. Siddiqui is a visual to cheer in a scene, where Costao pranks a woman in her daughter’s school, reminiscent of the ability of ace gray, bizarre characters. Costao is also a person who prefers logic on emotions, and that is why he talks about the importance of eating to combat stress between a serious argument.
Perhaps his tireless emphasis on duty and discipline came in the way his work and way of balanceing the family. Despite his self-sensation of being a “absent father” and “bad husband”, Costao struggles to go to his love to serve the nation, and this duality comes brilliantly during a well-worked quarrel with his wife (Priya Bapat in an affected performance), where he is not convicted.

In the form of Alemao, the teenager gets a note villain character. A face-off between Costao and Alemao, thanks to the official exchange between Siddiqui and Kishore, is entertaining. Costao has dense scenes that work well, as the opposite of the film is coming together well. In addition to a gentle ode for Goans, the film ends as an humanistic illustration of an honest officer at the expense of insight and is a hypnotic tale with a complex legal case.
Costao is currently streaming on Zee5
