Chillar Party

"One of the best movies in recent times" - This statement may seem biased if you haven't seen this movie.

It's always a daunting task for movie makers to weave a story around a long list of characters and ensure that everybody get an equal focus. This movie is a perfect example of such wizardry. The story is about a bunch of society children who fight to save a dog. But, the manner in which the story has been knit and portrayed is commendable.

Every child in this movie has a distinct character. You will be able to co-relate each one with friends around you when you were children.

It's not worth if you get to know the story of this movie from others because if you don't see it, you won't know what you are missing. A perfect weekend watch for your family.

This movie doesn't fail to pass several messages for the children as well as the adults.

A special mention for 'Jhangiya' who is an absolute delight to watch.

No pretensions, no melodrama, no gimmicks but just plain honest movie making. Fresh artists, relatively new filmmakers and a simple script. If all those 'big Bollywood movies' refrain from complicating their sub-avg story-lines, some of the craziest films could actually become watchable.

Delhi Belly & Chillar Party - 2 decent movies releasing within a span of two weeks. That has got to be a record of sorts for the Hindi Industry. Among the hundreds of movies they throw at us every year, only a handful are worth our money & time, and I can assure you - Chillar Party (2011) is one of them.

What makes me wonder is - how a bunch of school kids can emote so well and deliver their lines with such conviction. There are many other movies other than Chillar Party where children have done a splendid job. Mainstream actors who call themselves "professionals" and "adults" who bomb on a regular basis should watch and learn. Comedy is top-notch and the screenplay fits the script like a glove. Most of the scenes will evoke a smile or a laugh and you wont mind a tiny bit when the movie sometimes teeters on the edge of childishness. I mean, for Gods' sake, the lead actors are kids, how else can you expect it to play out ?

It will remind us of our own childhood and bring back fond memories. But, importantly, the aim of the movie is not to move us emotionally or make us nostalgic, but to tell us in a subtle way that honesty & simplicity are the most cherished qualities a human being can have. Those are qualities we all had back when we were at school, but now our adulthood and the society we live in, has changed our sense or perception.

No wonder there are very few reviews for this movies. When I had heard of this movie, I had liked it's idea. apart from story build-up, and awesome acting, this movie carry few important messages for all of us. The most important, nothing is impossible; most of us think of outcome before even trying to fight for something. This is the reason probably because of which India is run by crazy, money thirsty politician who care for just power and money, India comes no where. This holds true in many other situations. Second, Children are truly future of a nation, they should be given freedom of thought. about acting, No one can act better than children, They are natural actors, this movie is a true example.

I didn't have much expectation when I went to see the film. But, this was surprisingly good & refreshing movie. I can easily say, it is better than many contemporary multi-starrer movies.

Kids have acted brilliantly in this films. Most of the kids were totally unseen, I mean they have no acting experience, not even in the advertisements. So, two thumbs up for the kids.

But, the best thing about the film is the cudgel that the kids take up for a cause against a politician. Funnily, politician has shown no shame fighting with the small kids, just to gratify his ego. Rightfully depicted in the movie.

So, kudos to Salman Khan for giving this wonderful little gem.

Tone, Script & Story: The story is how a group of friends, befriend a homeless guy and his dog. It is further decided by the team's effort if the dog will be saved or put to sleep in case they fail.

In the run movie is entertaining, few instance's that lift up the said case is introduction of kids at beginning, they acting tapori after befriending the homeless and last but not the least answering minister with what have been taught to them in school. To see the fate of man with women's voice was also good.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Direction was good along with screen play. It was treat to watch children protest after planning it out. Music: Music was good. Acting: Acting from most of the leads won my heart.

Final Verdict: It is one of the treats that parents and children can watch together and enjoy. It is worth adding to your collection.
