Chhichhore movie review: Sushant Singh Rajput, Shraddha Kapoor deliver relevant film with important message

Chhichhore movie review: the sushant singh rajput-shraddha kapoor film takes you on a nostalgia trip to your college days with an engaging narrative and flashback sequences..

Chhichhore Director - Nitesh Tiwari Cast - Sushant Singh Rajput, Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Prateik Babbar, Naveen Polishetty, Tushar Pandey

An ode to college-time friendships, romances, ragging, fights, competitions and countless memories, Chhichhore is a riot of emotions, and takes you on a nostalgic ride. It’s a relevant film with a rather important message conveyed through an engaging narrative. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari of Dangal fame, Chhichhore is high on content and humour packaged so well that it stays with you for a very long time.

The story is simple — a bunch of engineering students and their journey from being losers to choosers. Sushant Singh Rajput (Annirudh) and Shraddha Kapoor (Maya) play a divorced couple, and they have a reunion of sorts with their college buddies, though in rather unwanted circumstances. Together, they recall and relive their old college memories, the good and bad days spent almost 20 years ago. The screenplay takes a trip down memory lane through college hostels, sports grounds and canteen conversations; switch to present day and you see the same camaraderie in their friendship that was forged in college.

Brilliant writing loaded with comic punches, one-liners and genuinely funny jokes makes Chhichhore a winner. Full credit to the writers for ensuring that the humour is not even remotely slapstick. For instance, when Varun Sharma’s character compares spotting a girl in an engineering college to Halley’s Comet that is visible every 75 years, it isn’t demeaning women but proof of clever writing. Keeping the storytelling simple, Nitesh made an intelligent move to weave flashback sequences into the present day, and keep audiences attentive. Though mostly predictable, the build-up towards the climax manages to look intriguing.

Among the cast, you see Varun Sharma (Sexa), Tahir Raj Bhasin (Derek), Naveen Polishetty (ACID), Tushar Pandey (Mummy) and Saharsh Shukla (Bevda) aptly fitting in their respective parts and doing full justice to their screen-time. The way each character is introduced in the film with minute detailing and individual traits, it makes you sit up and take notice.

There are performances that stand out without screaming from the rooftops. From playing Chucha in Fukrey to Sexa in this film, Varun nails it with an impressive performance, yet again. So comfortable with his body and style of dialogue delivery, he knows when and how to throw his weight around, quite literally. Sushant looks good as a young college student but in his ‘40s, he is rather unconvincing and a misfit. Shraddha’s character, it seems, has been written with least amount of interest. Although her screen presence is felt each time she’s in the frame, she hardly gets any dialogues and you ask yourself ‘was she even needed in the film’? Even the chemistry between Sushant and Shraddha is unconvincing and their scenes together flirting or comforting each other look rather juvenile. Prateik Babbar, who delivered an intense performance as the popular guy and a baddie in college, could have been given a little more screen time.

There is an extensive use of prosthetic makeup to show the characters ageing onscreen. While some are shown going half-bald, others decide to grow their tresses. There’s one guy with an American accent too -- he has stayed in New York for 20 years, after all. However, in Shraddha Kapoor’s case, the only transition that shows her going from her 20s to 40s is midi-dresses turning into cotton suits and saris. Sadly, so little imagination there!

Thankfully, Pritam’s music and background score by Sameer Uddin does not sound forced at any point and beautifully blends with the narrative. The song Fikar Not in the end credits is a refreshing change from the high-pitched item songs or over dramatized romantic numbers and is brilliantly choreographed.

A must-watch with your college friends, Chhichhore is relatable and relevant. Watch it for its uncomplicated screenplay, gripping narrative and some stellar performances that leave you in stitches.

‘Chhichhore’ Review: In Mumbai, Good Old-Fashioned Rules Days

Nitesh Tiwari’s follow-up to “Dangal” has a sweetly bland message and not much fizz.

• Share full article

By Rachel Saltz

Don’t worry if you don’t get an A+ in math, kids. You are more than your successes in life, and more than your failures.

That’s the blandly sweet message of the Hindi movie “Chhichhore,” which strains to be an inspirational comedy tear-jerker (Bollywood-wise, a reasonable genre) but mostly seems programmatic and timid.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, “Chhichhore” toggles between the 1990s and the present. Back then, a group of friends, lovable losers all, were students at the National College of Technology Bombay. Now, in present-day Mumbai, a teenage boy, Raghav — the son of one of those students — fights for his life in an intensive care unit.

Raghav’s father, Anirudh (Sushant Singh Rajput, with a bad fake beard and grayed hair in the present-day sequences), a workaholic businessman of some unspecified sort, is the very picture of modern Indian success. He has a high-rise apartment, sleek clothes, a fancy car. But, the movie suggests, he has shut himself off emotionally; he is divorced and has trouble connecting with Raghav, who’s a nervous wreck (and then worse) because of exams and pressure to succeed.

Anirudh gathers his old friends to sit at Raghav’s hospital bedside and tell him stories of their college days. Those days, shown in extended flashbacks, are full of high jinks, not-so-clever pranks (“Chhichhore” is slang for rascals) and life lessons about winning, losing and perseverance. The idea: These stories will help cure Raghav of feeling like a failure.

Tiwari’s last film, “Dangal” (2016), was a hit with critics and audiences alike. (It remains the highest grossing Indian movie of all time.) In “Chhichhore,” he shows a fluid visual style and an engaging if flickering sense of realism that sets up expectations the movie doesn’t fulfill. A big problem is the central character: Anirudh never seems like more than a standard-issue stiff who bobs along looking worried as the script injects yet another scene of the doctor delivering the same bad news: Raghav’s condition is not improving.

The minor characters are also one-dimensional, but that seems to be by design. Each college pal has been assigned one trait and a nickname to go with it: Sexa collects Playboys; Mummy is a mama’s boy; Acid can’t stop cursing. They help bring the college scenes, the movie’s strongest part, to life.

A main lesson of “Chhichhore” is that trying hard is its own reward. One way that Hindi movies have traditionally tried hard is in their maximalism: tears, laughter, more tears, and, of course, singing and dancing. “Chhichhore” goes light on the musical numbers with just a few song montages. Dance — Spanish-inflected for some reason — comes in only at the end over the credits, too late to give the movie the giddy jolt it needs.

Not rated. In Hindi, with subtitles. Running time: 2 hours 24 minutes.

Chhichhore Movie Review: Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor film is no 3 Idiots

Chhichhore stars sushant singh rajput, shraddha kapoor and varun sharma in lead roles. the film, directed by nitesh tiwari, is a bundle of cliches..

Listen to Story

• Chhichhore marks the second directorial venture of Nitesh Tiwari.
• Nitesh Tiwari's first film as a director was the blockbuster Dangal starring Aamir Khan.
• Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor are the lead actors in Chhichhore, which hit the screens today.

Cast & Crew

Sushant Singh Rajput

When asked about the best days of our life, most of us go into flashback mode and think of our school and college days. The time when friends were family and midnight shenanigans and midnight cravings went hand-in-hand. Nostalgia, accompanied with envy, hits you the moment you see a group of carefree college students. Because time moves in one direction.

Nitesh Tiwari, an IIT Bombay passout, taps into this nostalgia and presents us Chhichhore, to evoke our college memories. College dramas are something that the audience, no matter the generation, have always leaned on.

It's the safest bet for a successful film. Some hostel pranks, a college romance, promises to keep in touch with friends, a sports tournament, a tragedy - and you have got yourself a full-on entertainer. (And once in a lifetime, you also have a 3 Idiots. But once in a lifetime.)

Director Nitesh Tiwari, back on the director's chair after the massive blockbuster Dangal, does all of that. He is that first-bencher who would meticulously take down all notes point-by-point and vomit them back on the answer sheet sans any creativity. Chhichhore is a classic case of that very learning the formula to success by rote but not knowing how to apply it in real life syndrome.

The film starts with Aniruddh and Maya's (Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor) son involved in a tragedy after failing to secure a coveted seat in India's top engineering college, unlike his father and mother, who were rank holders. This leads to a reunion between Aniruddh and his college friends - Varun Sharma as Sexa, Tahir Raj Bhasin as Derek, Naveen Polishetty as Acid, Tushar Pandey as Mummy and Saharsh Shukla as Bevda.

The gang starts telling stories of their eventful college life to the kid, who can speak clearly in the film despite the circumstances, hoping that their story can improve his condition. So we go into flashback and see the actors narrate to Aniruddh and Maya's son, and us, tales of their lively college life.

The tone of the film is as inconsistent as it can be. In one scene, you will see Sushant sobbing while talking to his son, and in the next, he is planning pranks with his friends in college. The transition is not seamless. Director Nitesh Tiwari aims to have both - past and present - tracks run parallel to each other, but it simply doesn't work. The sudden change of the background score from melancholic tunes to upbeat music too doesn't help the audience understand what Nitesh is trying to do with the film.

College dramas like these require strong performances, with the story needing the lead actors help propel the film. But in Chhichhore, Sushant and Shraddha will leave you hanging. It's the film's supporting cast, a shoutout to Varun Sharma, that carries the burden of the entire film on their shoulders.

Sushant's performance as the middle-aged father is nothing less than a caricature. Even when the doctor explains to him his son's condition, he sits there with a blank expression. He sobs, tries to wipe his tear-less eyes, but just fails to convince the audience that he is heartbroken.

Shraddha, as Maya, isn't much convincing either. The actress has one expression for every mood, and by now, we have seen too much of that one expression. Along with that, the film's script also limits her character to being just a pretty face who is always present to cheer for her boyfriend from the stands.

Varun Sharma delivers yet another remarkable performance in Chhichhore. He gets the best punchlines in the film and he delivers them in his own unique style. Naveen Polishetty and Tushar Pandey also leave an imprint with their performances.

The writing isn't all too sloppy. Some scenes will manage to you crack you up, but they are stuffed with cliches. Imagine every punchline that a college drama can have and some more. Now imagine all of them stuffed into a film. Chhichhore is that.

Chhichhore delivers an important message on exam pressure, quite literally, with Sushant enunciating the message in a speech just in case you didn't get it even after 2 hours of seeing the same. The film feels like a missed opportunity. Director Nitesh Tiwari had a subject that appealed to all generations, but he fails to create that magic that a memorable college drama should have had.

Chhichhore is a one-time watch and is for those who are are still hung up on their college life. But it is no 3 Idiots. You might want to call your college buddies after the film.

2.5 stars out of 5 for Chhichhore.

Chhichhore Review: A Campus Comedy Wrapped In A Yarn Of Friendship And Failure

Chhichhore is an emotional roller coaster of the nostalgia, real-life struggles, college romance, ragging, competition, fights and all wrapped cautiously in a yarn of friendship..

Ten years ago when '3 Idiots' happened we got a balanced dose of reality and expectation when three non-conformist engineering students questioned outmoded practices, choosing to live life on his own terms and chartering new roads that consciously skirt the rat race. Switch back to 2019 and we have the same backdrop, a larger set of friends who revisit their college lives (hostel to be precise) to counsel an ambitious child on the hospital bed that there is a thin life between losers and winners and the journey of life is indeed more important than the destination.   Chhichhore is an emotional roller coaster of the nostalgia, real-life struggles, college romance, ragging, competition, fights and all wrapped cautiously in a yarn of friendship.    Nitesh Tiwari’s movie starts with a nervous JEE aspirant reeling under the pressure of rank holder parents, desperate to make his cut at the entrance exam so much that it drives him to the edge. What we expect and see is a bunch of engineering students and their journey from being losers to eager beaver who chooses not let results judge their efforts coming back together after 20 years to preach what they learnt the hard way.   Sushant Singh Rajput (Annirudh) and Shraddha Kapoor (Maya) play a divorced couple, and they have a reunion of sorts with their college buddies, though in rather unwanted circumstances.   The screenplay takes a trip down memory lane through hostel corridors, library, sports grounds and canteen conversations and an annual sports competition that determines the climax of the movie and is quite realised.   Many of the scenarios are outright hilarious – like the in which a student is made to write cheer and chants using effigies of professors, one in which the alcoholic friend is thrashed during a train journey or the one in which a "senior performs pole dance with a “freshy” perform a pole dance.    Clever puns, one-liners, some genuinely funny jokes and great performances by assorted cast overpowers Chicchoore even when the plot appears unrealistic especially when Sushant Singh Rajput (Anni) attempts to heal an unconscious mind with the art of storytelling and it works more than real medicines or the ‘loser’s team smart antics like sledging or faking injury during tournament getting unnoticed by the team of bad boys till the final day. Even more unrealistic is the receding hairlines of all of the cast and Shraddha’s long tresses with a few grey stands, maybe the reason why Sexa (Varun Sharma) saying ‘abhi bhi demand main hai’   In spite of a few hiccups, Chhichhore manages to shine with its comic timings that are at a borderline of slapstick humour.   Sushant Singh Rajput delivers a master performance first as a college Romeo and then as a single parent grappling with a broken marriage and trying his best to be a cool dad, and not without Chhichhore's supporting characters. Varun Sharma as Sexa, the porn-obsessed good-at-heart cutie will keep you entertained even at few drag moments in the film. Tahir Raj Bhasin Derek, the intense, brooding senior who's been trying to cut off the tag of a 'loser' since the past three years has a Shah Rukh Khan hangover that you cannot ignore. Naveen Polishetty as Acid, the angry dude always at the brink of burping out slang shines in a role that seems to be tailer-made for him. Saharsh Kumar Shukla as Bevda, and Tushar Pandey as Mummy although did not have much to do yet accomplishes in bringing utmost sincerity in their flawed characters. Special mention to Pratiek Babbar who plays the antagonist with aplomb (how we wish we'd get to see him more often on screen)!   Once again, Nitesh Tiwari deserves applauds for managing to extract such performances from the huge cast and not messing up like took many cooks to a broth!   Shraddha Kapoor like always had little to do apart from being a love interest, an audience and then a supporting wife and an anxious mother. Her appearance is the movie as Sexa puts it is like ‘a Haley's comet’ and so is her romance with Anni. Shraddha as Maya’s character arc is as underdeveloped as her dressing, from midi dresses in 20s to cotton saris, salwars at his 40s, a sloppy work of styling department.   Pritam’s music and background score by Sameer Uddin fails to make a score. There is not a single track that lingers after you come out of the hall. However, introducing a song like Fikar Not in the end credits is a refreshing change from the high-pitched party numbers.   Nitesh Tiwari clearly knows how to set up battles, churn emotions, nail biting moments in the sports field - he proved that in his last film, Dangal, and proves it again here. He embarks on a tried and tested formula but does it with self-assurance so much so that even when at parts the movie gets preachy like when a friend called his kid to advice him not obsess about excelling at term exams for a bike, it doesn't appear over archaic.   The often-heard message of, life is a journey about struggles and not results is not the takeaway of the film. It's about its characters who have their moments of glory and shortcomings. In them, you'll likely find traces and memories of your youth and meet all kinds of friends, the angry one, the horny one, the alcoholic one and the mamma’s boy. Even with its predictable plotline and moralizing tendencies, it managed to keep a broad smile smeared on my face throughout and so it will for you.

Movie Review: Chhichhore

Chhichhore Devesh Sharma , Sep 5, 2019, 22:20 IST

Annirudh (Sushant Singh Rajput) called Anni by his friends and Maya (Shraddha Kapoor) are a divorced couple. Their lives turn topsy turvy when they learn that their young son Raghav has tried to commit suicide. Annirudh feels that narrating stories from his own college days might help his son recover mentally. It was during college that he fell in love with Maya, and formed life-long friendships with the likes of Sexa (Varun Sharma), Derek (Tahir Raj Bhasin), Acid (Naveen Polishetty), Mummy (Tushar Pandey), Bevda (Saharsh Kumar Shukla), and others. As the friends regroup in order to be with Anni and Maya in their time of need, distance and time fades away to reveal a treasure trove of memories...

It's a campus comedy/ romance at one level but tackles the serious problem of student suicide on the other. Hundreds of students every year put themselves in the way of harm because of pressure brought in by studies. It's a problem that needs redressal. Communication is one of the key factors here. Despite all the latest means of communication, parents have sort of lost touch with their children. Then, while we do motivate our children towards success, we need to tell them that failure is okay as well. That it's not failure but the fear of failure that one should be vary of. That's the message the film tries to impart and that's the message we need to take to our homes and plant in the fertile hearts and minds of our children.

The film is a mixture of Student Of The Year, 3 Idiots and most campus films you've seen in your life. The hostels are pitted off each other in a set of sporting achievements and Sushant Singh Rajput and friends belong to a hostel which has never won the championship ever. They square off against a hostel whose leader is Raggie (Prateik Babbar), and who have always won it. So they use a mixture of cunning and team building to shorten the odds. The various sport activities are written to bring in the laughs and do their job. One can feel the college spirit seeping through. The various antics of the students inside the hostel also bring in the laughs. Our only complaint is that the students in a premier engineering college are shown to do everything except studying. While the nostalgia portions are nice, the parts where Sushant and Shraddha meet the doctor appear repetitive and hence lose their impact after a while. One realises that the director has been using them as fillers to merge the past with the present. Another minor glitch, if it could be called that, is that there is no conversation about what Sushant and Shraddha's friends are doing currently. We don't get to know how they fared in life. Let alone that, one isn't told why the couple, who were college sweethearts, couldn't sustain their marriage. These gaps could easily have been filled and one wonders why it wasn't the case

Sushant Singh Rajput channels his inner Steve Jobs in his senior avatar. He has a way of underplaying his characters and has co-stars like Tahir Raj Bhasin, Varun Sharma and Prateik Babbar feed off him, thereby adding to the film. He's flawless playing the ambitious student and looks convincing as a dad as well. 

It was nice to see Prateik playing a cocky house captain with a swagger in his walk. He has added to his repertoire with this film.

In fact, the entire ensemble cast  have batted well for the film and have been true to their characters. They do give off a feeling of being die-hard friends. Shraddha Kapoor and Sushant Singh's romance needed to be explored more. They make for a convincing couple for sure. Shraddha has acted well in both avatars but we wish we saw more of her angst and her anger. 

All-in-all, Chhichhore is a well-acted comedy providing plenty of laughs with its one-liners and talks about an important issue as well. What more can one ask for, really?

Chhichhore Reviews

It may be a film about losers but Chhichhore is a winner.

Full Review | Oct 4, 2019

The movie begins as a rambunctious college campus comedy, quickly moves into the sentimental family drama zone, returns for the fun and games, shifts back into tear-jerking territory, and finally runs out of breath with only some ambitions realised.

Full Review | Sep 10, 2019

Strains to be an inspirational comedy tear-jerker (Bollywood-wise, a reasonable genre) but mostly seems programmatic and timid.

Full Review | Sep 8, 2019

It failed to leave any kind of lasting impact, which is unfortunate...

Full Review | Sep 6, 2019

The one-liners keep coming so that even when the film tests your patience - and let me assure you that it does - you keep rooting for these people to succeed.

When the film cuts to the present, the characters who seemed likeable a few scenes ago turn insipid and boring.

All-in-all, Chhichhore is a well-acted comedy providing plenty of laughs with its one-liners and talks about an important issue as well. What more can one ask for, really?

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 6, 2019

It tells you that the journey is far more important than the destination and that losing is as critical a life lesson as winning. The film scores high on many accounts and is certainly worth watching.

A must-watch with your college friends, Chhichhore is relatable and relevant. Watch it for its uncomplicated screenplay, gripping narrative and some stellar performances that leave you in stitches.

There are too many draggy patches in between, the acting is inconsistent, and the somewhat superficial messaging adds nothing to the "what matters is that you tried" line we have heard before.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.75/5 | Sep 6, 2019

The humour in Chhichhore is so organic that one can forgive the film's contrivances.

Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore is a pleasant entertainer elevated by the strength of its supporting cast. It's also an unabashed acknowledgement of male failure.

'Chhichhore' Movie Review: Leave everything and go watch this Nitesh Tiwari gem

• Bubble Reviews
• ‘Chhichhore’ Movie ...

Directed By Nitesh Tiwari

Produced By Sajid Nadiadwala

Cast Sushant Singh Rajput, Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Prateik Babbar, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Naveen Polishetty, Tushar Pandey, Saharsh Shukla, Rohit Chauhan, Nalneesh Neel.

Bollywood Bubble Rating 4/5

What’s It About: Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor’s son jumps off a building and is now critically ill. The reason is that he thinks he’s a loser in the eyes of his parents. Fighting for his life in the hospital, will the story of his parent’s college friendship with 6-7 other ‘Chhichhore’s be able to save him? Will he ever stop considering himself as a loser? Well, that’s what the story is all about.

What’s Hot: First of all, let’s get this thing out: THIS IS NOT ‘3 IDIOTS’. It’s a different story and plot and the maximum similarity which you can think of to the Rajkumar Hirani film is that even this one has friendship at its core and even this one has a strong message at the end.

Nitesh Tiwari’s direction and storytelling are simply superb. He hasn’t faltered anywhere. The story seems to have come right out of his heart and that’s why it connects so beautifully with you just in the first 15 minutes of the show starting. He has this amazing ability to make you laugh your guts out in one college scene and in the very next scene, set in the present day, he makes you moist-eyed. I am not saying it for effect, but the storytelling genuinely makes you teary-eyed. After ‘Chhillar Party’, ‘Bhootnath Returns’ and ‘Dangal’ people were expecting a lot from him, and he comes up with a gem in ‘Chhichhore’.

All the characters are brilliant. Most of our Bollywood films are led on the shoulders of the protagonist, whom we refer to as the ‘hero’ of the movie, but ‘Chhichhore’ breaks the norm. You can’t call this a Sushant Singh Rajput film or a Shraddha Kapoor film. It’s equally a Tahir Raj Bhasin film, it’s equally a Varun Sharma film and likewise for the rest of the cast. Every actor has been given proper screen space and they have mastered that one particular character to the best.

To be fair, the movie plays on nostalgia right from the very first scene. From the Gold Spot bottles to the high waisted jeans pants, it was everywhere. While on one side you will be made to ponder as to how your life has changed or is going to change when you are 45, the other side makes you wonder why you’ve lost touch with your college buddies without whom you couldn’t spend even a single waking moment in those 4-5 years of college life.

The dialogues are hilarious when it depicts the college life and thought-provoking when it’s portraying the 45-year olds. The cinematography, by Amalendu Chowdhary, is perfect. The way he has brought in 1992 in today’s times with perfect precision is applaudable.

The songs, by Pritam, are decently placed as they aren’t something that takes you away from the storyline. They mostly keep playing in the background while the story moves forward. Even the end credits song, ‘Fikar Not’, is so well-timed that it will make you keep pondering over the strong message which was just delivered in the climax.

Talking of the climax, it does have a really strong message. While many of you might think it’s a take on the education system, something which ‘3 Idiots’ also had, this isn’t that. The message will make you want to call your parents or sons/daughters. Also, many times a message giving film become really boring and preachy at the climax – this is not one of those films.

The best part about the film is the relatability of the characters. We all have had a ‘Sexa’ in our college life who cannot stop thinking of sex all day. We all have had a ‘Derek’ who is the hottie but always stays secluded in his room. We all have had a ‘Mummy’ who keeps crying throughout the day about missing their homes. We all have had a ‘Bevda’ who thinks of leaving drinking every day, but isn’t able to ever. We all have had an ‘Acid’ who cannot stop using cuss words in every sentence of his. It’s that, along with the message at the end, which makes this worth every penny.

What’s Not: The name ‘Chhichhore’ doesn’t properly justify the movie. It could have been named better, as there would be a whole lot of people who would think that this is just a ‘fukra’ movie, which it isn’t.

No complaints on any of the actors, but I think Shraddha Kapoor was left as just the pretty face in the film. She didn’t have too much to do as most of the fun and emotional scenes were based heavily on the male characters. Even Saharsh Shukla, who plays Bevda and enters only in the 2nd half, seems to have had more screen time than Shraddha.

The lead up to the scene where Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor’s son jumps off the balcony of his friend’s apartment was a little bit predictable. Seeing the little boy cry and talk to his friend sitting in the balcony, and then walking furiously on the edge of the balcony holding on to the railing, made it pretty much obvious that he was going to jump off.

There’s hardly anything else which you wouldn’t like in this Nitesh Tiwari gem.

Verdict: MUST WATCH! If you’ve ever stayed in a hostel or in a PG with friends, you would relate to it right from the very first scene.

Box-Office: Now, this is tricky, as the film hasn’t been marketed too much. It will have to rely heavily on great word-of-mouth publicity and some wonderful reviews from critics. Sushant Singh Rajput too hasn’t been having a great run at the movies to draw in the masses to the theatres. If it picks up in the first and second day, it might go on to run for a really long time at the ticket windows.

Film review: ‘Chhichhore’ is a lively homage to hostel life

The humour in 'chhichhore' is so organic that one can forgive the film’s contrivances the film also makes a point about the pressures on children to succeed academically.

Director Nitesh Tiwari offers the ultimate homage to his college days with this film about his time as an engineering student and the lessons one learns outside of the classroom. Chhichhore operates on two planes. The first is nostalgic, with fuzzy flashbacks to after-hours hostel life on an engineering college campus. On another plane it offers a message on pressure to make the grade, to live up to imposed expectations and be prepared for success, failure and everything in between.

In the present, Aniruddh “Ani" Pathak (Sushant Singh Rajput) is a successful professional who has custody of his teenaged son. Inadvertently, Ani has been loading expectations of Raghav (Mohammad Samad) as he appears for his common entrance exams. Plans are made to celebrate a sure-shot grade. Raghav’s mother, Maya (Shraddha Kapoor), however, comforts Raghav that the result is not as important as his intent. In the midst of this, Raghav makes a terrible choice.

Watching their son oscillate between life and death, Ani dips into his bank of memories and calls upon the support of his college friends. Enter Sexa, Acid, Mummy, Derek and Bevda, the coterie that ruled the roost at Hostel 4 and took on the sporting might of Hostel 3 in the annual inter-hostel sporting competition.

They recount the story of their hostel life and, through their experiences as the underdogs that tried to change the odds and shake off the label of “losers", they attempt to convey important life lessons to Raghav.

Writers Tiwari, Nikhil Mehrotra and Piyush Gupta infuse the hostel scenes with energy, mischief, humour and cadence. It’s refreshing to see hostel life steeped in healthy competition and pranking but not defined by harrowing ragging.

The film hits the right notes when it flashes back to the inter-hostel sporting competition and the camaraderie between the students. Tiwari, who showed flair for sporting drama with Dangal , builds suspense and tension as we track the ups and downs of Hostel 4 inmates versus their arch nemesis Hostel 3, led by the abrasive Raggie (Pratiek Babbar).

In the present, this gang has not aged well, besides Shraddha Kapoor, who simply seems to have traded in her retro college wardrobe (completely period incorrect for the film’s 1992 setting) for contemporary desi chic. The styling is so uneven that Maya and Ani appear to be from different generations.

In spite of a sketchy role, Kapoor delivers a moving and likeable performance. Indeed, the boys share better chemistry than Rajput and Kapoor do. Tahir Raj Bhasin as Derek, Naveen Polishetty as Acid, Tushar Pandey as Mummy and Varun Sharma as Sexa work well as Ani’s buddies that rooted for him then, and continue to do so now. This is by far Sharma’s best performance, as he is finally given an opportunity to add a layer to his buffoonery by conveying sensitivity and nuance. I look forward to seeing more of Polishetty’s work. Pandey subtly captures the changes in the mummy’s boy who is now a US-based NRI. Bhasin plays the brooding jock with the requisite restraint.

Rajput smoothly traverses both ages. He captures both the playfulness of a fresher as well as conveying the guilt and trauma of a father who realises that he forgot to impart one important lesson: that the result is not as important as one’s effort.

The tropes of campus films abound, yet the humour in Chhichhore is so organic and the characters so particular, you feel like a member of the crowd hoping Hostel 4’s strategy makes them champions. It’s almost enough to make you overlook the present day prosthetics and script conveniences that lean heavily on the kind of Bollywood melodrama one is not nostalgic about.

Chhichhore Movie

CHHICHHORE is the story of ‘loser’ friends trying to become winners and learning some important lessons on the way. Annirudh Pathak aka Anni (Sushant Singh Rajput) is a middle-aged man residing in Mumbai with his son Raghav (Mohammad Samad) after divorcing his wife Maya (Shraddha Kapoor). Raghav is under immense ...  pressure as he has just given the entrance exams for engineering. Both his parents were rankers when they gave the entrance examination. As a result, Raghav is feeling the pressure tremendously. Anni however is confident that he’ll make it. Finally, the result is out and sadly, Raghav fails to make the cut. Scared that he’ll be labelled a loser all his life, he attempts to commit suicide by jumping from a high rise. He survives but the doctor treating him, Dr Kasbekar (Shishir Sharma) makes it clear that the chances of him recovering are slim. Anni is obviously heartbroken and with no option in hand, he decides to adopt a novel method to ensure that Raghav gets the will to live. He starts narrating him his story as an engineering student in Mumbai’s National College of Technology. He’s allotted a room in Hostel no 4 aka H4, considered to be the residence of the ‘Losers’. At first, Anni is flabbergasted with the kind of characters in H4. But slowly, he becomes good friends with some of them like Gurmeet Singh Dhillon aka Sexa (Varun Sharma), Acid (Navin Polishetty), Sundar aka Mummy (Tushar Pandey), Bevda (Saharsh Kumar Shukla) and Derek (Tahir Raj Bhasin). The number of girls in engineering is negligible and the most popular among them is Maya (Shraddha Kapoor). Anni manages to woo her and they soon start dating. However, Anni and others are still called ‘Losers’ and there’s a reason for it. The General Championship aka GC is a sports tournament that takes place annually in the college. The students of H4 always lose miserably and are the last among the ten hostels. Hence, the ‘Loser’ tag. Raggie (Prateik Babbar) from H3 is a champion who wants all the winning students from other hostels to be in his hostel so that H3 can win the GC. He invites Anni, since the latter is a basketball champion. But Anni refuses, thereby earning the wrath of Raggie. Anni and others from H4 decide to shed the tag of ‘Loser’ once and for all by winning the H4. However, the road to the trophy is full of hurdles. Cut to present-day. Raghav’s condition stops deteriorating after listening to the story of the ‘Losers’ but there’s no improvement either. What happens next, in the flashback as well as in the present day, forms the rest of the film.
