\"\"<\/a>Rating : 3.7\/5
\nGenre : Comedy
\nYear : 2019
\nRunning time : 2 hours 23 minutes
\nDirector : Nitesh Tiwari
\nCast : Sushant Singh Rajput, Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Prateik Babbar, Tahir Singh Bhasin, Navin Polishetty, Tushar Pandey
\nKid rating : PG<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anuriddh Pathak (Rajput) gets admitted to an Engineering college, and adrift in a sea of nerds, meets and falls in love with the prettiest girl there. Maya (Kapoor) later marries Ani and they have a son. Years later, when tragedy befalls them, their long-lost college friends come to stand by their side.<\/p>\n

Chhichhore is a light-hearted look at coming-of-age, college life and the friendships that last a lifetime. Told with humor and a set of zany, interesting characters, Chhichhore will leave you misty-eyed with nostalgia. Threaded into this college-heavy tale, is an underdog story, where the Losers aka the Chhichhore gang have zero chance of winning. There is also a bigger theme on learning from failure and using it as a stepping-stone to success.<\/p>\n

The themes this film tries to tackle might be lofty but Chhichhore does a nice job of depicting them. It is an interesting story, well-told. The screenplay passes muster, and the characters are well developed. Director Tiwari (who also made Dangal<\/a><\/strong>) creates endearing characters we can root for, and the film is made pleasurable because we are invested in their lives.<\/p>\n

Sushant Singh Rajput is a good actor, and even Shraddha Kapoor, who isn’t, does well here. Varun Sharma (whom you might remember from Fukrey<\/a><\/strong>) is impressive as Ani’s bumchum pal and senior Grummet “Sexa” Singh Dillon. Tahir Singh Basin as Derek, Navin Polishetty as Acid, Tushar Pandey as Mummy are also very believable as the other “Losers”. As far as the flaws, there’s the makeup. There is a gradation in time here so the characters do age. The aging makeup though is ghastly; the men simply appear to lose their hair and gain potbellies. The film takes some liberties with realism, but it’s all for a good cause \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n

Chhichhore is a heart-warming crowd-pleaser. Go see!<\/p>\n
