Film: Chhichhore
Genre: Drama
Director: Nitesh Tiwari
Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput,Shraddha Kapoor,Prateik Babbar
Chhichhore operates on two planes. The first is nostalgic, with flashbacks to hostel life on an 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.
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.
Chhichhore beautifully drives home the point that our society and education system sadly doesn't equip students to handle failure, only success.
The movie throws a light on the student suicides that take place all over the world, including India. In our country, a student commits suicide every 55 minutes, as per statistics.
“We are so entangled with the success and failures of our lives that we forget to live life itself.”
The film is a good 2 hours 26 minutes long, and some good lessons to learn during that time.
