5 unmissable angles in Costao

No-filtered movie

Costao is an unfiltered movie as it is a biographical drama. There were no unnecessary exaggerations that could have ruined the mood of the film. It let us experience an insightful and raw emotion of what the customs officer Costao Fernandes went through during the critical situation, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui portrayed it the best.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's raw emotions during argument scene

When Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Costao faced threats after killing Peter D'Mello, he argued with his wife (Priya Bapat). His wife had a valid point when she said that she wants her normal life back, and hearing this, Costao asked her to make a final decision. The raw expressions of Nawazuddin were truly commendable. 

Narrative from Costao's daughter's perspective

If you have watched the film, you might have noticed how the film begins with a background voice. Most of the narrative of the film was from Costao's daughter's perspective. She calls her father by his name and describes him as one of the strongest persons. The narrative from the daughter's perspective is highly unmissable.

Breaking the corrupt system with a cool mind

Another important angle you might have missed in Costao is how the officer tries his level best to bring justice. Neither does he give up, nor does he lose his cool. The most carefree Costao we saw was when he attended the annual sports programme of his children at the school. He seems cool and unbothered, even though he has already received threats from the D'Mello family. He had faith and tried till the end to break the corrupt system.

A caring husband, Costao

Although Costao does not have much time to spend with his family due to his work culture, he never fails to match the vibe of a caring husband. When he had an argument with his wife and they stopped talking, Costao was seen still caring for his wife and doing household chores. 

All these pointers and more make Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Costao a must-watch film. It is streaming on ZEE5 via OTTplay Premium!
