Lost, Yami Gautam's most recent movie on Zee5, is a well-layered plot with hammy acting but a significant problem to address. The suspense is capped with a compelling narrative that is as distinct as the individuals and the fictional universe they inhabit. Although it provides plenty of exciting moments, it also induces rumination in its audience.

The story takes place in kolkata against the backdrop of missing revolutionary theatre performer Ishan Bharti (played by Tushar Pandey). And as a result of the notion that Ishan has turned into an extremist militant, his inexplicable absence turns into a contentious political issue. A fearless and courageous investigative crime journalist who is committed to solve the mystery enters the picture as the authorities are harassing Ishan's mother and sister. But while she's at it, she has to deal with obstacles from her family, the pernicious Varman political system, which is made up of crooks and louts, her own newspaper, as well as finding herself in a debate about morality. Vidhi Sahani (Yami Gautam), who is poking her way through the surface, learns of Ishan's relationship with Ankita Chauhan (Pia Bajpayee), which only serves to further the storyline. Will Vidhi ever learn the truth, or will her research make matters worse?

Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury is an interesting director, as seen by his earlier work on the movie Pink. Chowdhury's Lost, like his last movies, includes difficult topics entwined within the intricate folds of the plot without sugarcoating anything or attempting to balance his steps on the plank of political-correctness. The majority of the movie's lines are profound and thought-provoking. The virtuosity of the story, however, is substantially diminished by the way the film is paced. The reverberations that the creators envisioned are not achieved because it is slow and staccato in a number of spots.

Some moments might remind viewers of vidya Balan's Kahani to the point where they anticipate seeing someone push yami gautam onto the approaching metro from behind. The film's major weakness is that it attempts to address a variety of societal concerns at once, including gender inequity, caste prejudice, and feminism, without doing credit to any one of them. The film looks remarkable on a technical level thanks to Avik Mukhopadhyay's immersive cinematography and Shantanu Moitra's beautiful music. When it comes to the performances, yami gautam gives her role as an idealistic crime journalist her all. She gives her role enough seriousness and breathes life into the material.

Overall, A Brilliant thriller and an Engaging Watch!
