Letter of Recommendation: Chhichhore

By Raghav Prabhakaran



‘Chhichhore’ hit the big screen in September 2019 and within days, it took the country by storm. With a cast featuring household actors, namely Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor, alongside rising stars like Varun Sharma and Naveen Polisshetty, this movie is replete with a unique combination of emotions which primarily sprung from the powerful, joyful and tear-provoking plot.


​It opens with a young boy who attempts suicide, surrendering to the pressure that comes with competitive entrance exams. Upon discovering that his son’s fear of being branded a “loser” led to this, Anni (Sushant Singh Rajput) recounts his own experiences as the college loser, hoping this nostalgia trip will help save his teenage son’s life. As the story develops, Anni’s college friends join in one by one, propelling the plot forward with their distinctive recitations.


In totality, the movie is an exploration into the dynamics of the various relationships everyone shares in their lives -- the relationship of a husband and a wife, of parents and their children as well as those relationships of friendship. ‘Chhichhore’ is a tear-jerking, but also hilarious, walk down memory lane. In many ways, it is also a motivational movie, simultaneously inspiring Raghav and the audience to persevere and to give their best every time. It effectively combines a spectrum of emotions with varied relationships to adeptly explore the extraordinary lives of each character – while also spreading the message that it is about the journey, not the destination. Conclusively, ‘Chhichhore’ is a roller-coaster ride, one which not only is extremely enjoyable but also makes you think.
