Trivia
- The film was shot entirely on location in Delhi, using handheld cameras to capture the raw, unfiltered reality of the gig workers' daily lives.
- Director Aprajita Gupta spent over a year building trust with the three women protagonists before filming began to ensure authentic storytelling.
- The documentary's title, 'Beyond Ratings', directly critiques the five-star rating system used by apps to control and evaluate gig workers.
- One protagonist, a delivery worker, revealed she often disguises her gender by using a male name on the app to avoid harassment.
- The film was partially funded through a grant from a non-profit organization focused on digital rights and labor justice in India.
- A key scene shows a worker's phone battery dying mid-gig, highlighting the constant pressure and personal cost of staying 'always on' for the apps.
- The sound design intentionally mixes app notification sounds with Delhi's street noise to create a sense of relentless digital and physical surveillance.
