Chillar Party - From the heart for those who have a heart Vishal Verma, IndiaGlitz [Thursday, July 07, 2011] http://icdn1.indiaglitz.com/common/none.gif What is it all about?
UTV Spot Boy in association with Salman Khan Being Human (SKBH), Salman's maiden production venture, places the guns on the kids' shoulders and hit the bull eye. 'Chillar Party', gives another reason to Bollywood and of course the current hot favorite Salman to celebrate but this time with the entire family with added sweetness of more friendship, love and togetherness.
First time writer directors Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari ride a touchy, straight from heart, intriguing and pulsating journey in 'Chillar Party', which tells a simple, touching tale of this ten baachhas who fight for their dear four legged 'bheedu' (read friend) grabs audiences with the elemental force of the underlying messages in the story, told straight out of from the friendship humanity manuals that keeps the grownups mind engaged while the kids just lapped it up for sweet touchy moments of fun, dosti and bahicahara (togetherness).
The Story
'Chillar Party' is a film about a gang of innocent but feisty bachcha log - Sanath Menon as Arjun/Encyclopedia, Rohan Grover as Ramashanker/Akram, Naman Jain as Balwan/Jhangiya, Aarav Khanna as Aflatoon, Vishesh Tiwari as Laxman/Second Hand, Chinmai Chandranshuh as Lucky/Panauti, Vedant Desai as Silencer, Divji Handa as Shaolin and Sherya Sharma as Toothpaste who lead a carefree fun filled, made for each other life in Chandan Nagar colony. Soon Fatka (Irrfan Khan) and Bheedu (dog) come into their lives and they become an inseparable part of Chillar party. The lives of these bachcha logs get difficult when Bheedu's life is endangered, thanks to a mean politician. Together, they fight the big bad world of politics in a world where reason outweighs emotions, 'Chillar Party' is about doing what you feel right, courage, the values of friendship and togetherness.
What to look out for?
First timers Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari as writers and directors do the remarkable by making a film which becomes difficult for anyone to hate it if they have a heart. Honestly told from heart, the movie begins with the introduction of the nine little charmers in the society who have interesting story behind their nicknames, telling it here will spoil the fun in the theatre.
After the initial masti baazi, the movies takes a warmly pulsating, captivating drama told without any nonsense, wonderfully mounted with underlying messages that comes out during those touchy situations like the chaddi march by kids in the city, kids hiring fatka to wash their bicycles, Laxman urf Second Hand donating his entire piggy bank to arrange money for Biddu movement. The topri act by kids in school, home and more, which brings out the bacha in you. Kudos to the casting director for casting these ten smart pants which must strike a respondent chord amongst family audience at the B.O.
Every kid plays his part well but Naman Jain as Jhangia becomes special due to his funny reasons for not wearing pants and his sheer innocence on screen. All the kids Sanath Menon as Arjun/Encyclopedia, Rohan Grover as Ramashanker/Akram, Aarav Khanna as Aflatoon, Vishesh Tiwari as Laxman/Second Hand, Chinmai Chandranshuh as Lucky/Panauti, Vedant Desai as Silencer, Divji Handa as Shaolin and Sherya Sharma as Toothpaste give noteworthy performance considering the fact that most of them are first timers.
A clean, swift technicality contributes to the film's parable feeling. In addition, Vikas and Nitesh bring out a sacred quality in their smooth narration in relation to the characters. Another major plus of 'Chillar Party' is it doesn't put parents and teachers in bad light and is not at all preachy.
What not?
Not much but still, some more attention to Shaolin and Silencer could have been paid. Biddu's attachment to the colony would have added more weight to the emotions. Ranbir Kapoor comes after the end credits are over.
Conclusion: 'Chillar Party' is destined to register itself amongst the best of 2011. It's worth a dekho because it celebrates friendship in a touchy, easy way and it's a sincere, honest flick told through the eyes of kids after a long time in Bollywood.
Rating: ****
Review: Chillar Party is enjoyable
A motley group of kids. An endearing canine companion. A waif busy washing cars to earn a living. Middle-class families who are insensitive to both human beings and animals. Politicians acting in an inane and obtuse manner. And kids who feel they can take on the world. All the ingredients necessary to create a melodramatic potboiler have been sourced and secured into the script. Is this one more 'childrens' film with morals woven into the script hoping to see the audience in tears?
Thankfully no. Chillar Party may not be free of the obligatory good versus evil theme which persistently makes its way into this genre (at least in Bollywood) yet it aims at generating laughter, without punching you in the gut.
Starting with the ubiquitous nicknames sometimes provided by parents or colony mates, Mumbai's [ Images ] Chandan Nagar Society has its band of bratty boys named as encyclopedia, secondhand, panvati etc. The reason for these names could be as varied as a personality trait to the family's financial status. A white Pomeranian owned by a cranky senior citizen turns them into dog-haters for the rest of their life. In this scenario enters Phatka, a skinny lad with determination and attitude. Both traits imperative for children who work on the streets of Mumbai and survive by their wits alone. His only companion and friend in the entire world is Bhidu a lovable black and white pariah.
Phatka survives largely on a diet of tea and glucose biscuits and keeps to himself. He sports a ragged yellow t-shirt, doesn't crave for anything but he's devoted to his pooch. The kids direct their anger on both Phatka and Bhidu, but Phatka remains resilient not wanting to give up this job -- his only means of survival.
Then the bratty middle-class kids realize the extent of their nastiness and try hard to make amends. But Phatka isn't a pushover. Will he relent? Or is this senseless feud likely to continue?
Our protagonist Phatka played by Irrfan Khan [ Images ] doesn't have much to say for himself. When he speaks it's 'tapori language' picked up from watching the latest movies. Even as one laughs at his philosophies about life it's the expressive brown eyes which speak volumes about his anguish and loneliness. One sequence when he fears his beloved pooch has disappeared he breaks down but with quiet restraint.
The rest of the brats are on the verge of adolescence; where they're old enough to question their parents, too young to rebel openly. Pre-pubescent, their lives revolve around cricket and not the opposite sex. They're real (unlike the kids we've seen in YRF and Dharma productions), they grimace, they grumble, but they remain kids.
The co-directors Nitesh Tiwari and Vikas Bahl successfully recreate a poignant and touching tale about the bonds children forge among themselves, their casual indifference towards school, parents and academics and their ability to stay focused when somebody they deeply care for has become the casual victim of an adult's manipulations.
The film has a few really fun moments, especially when a chance remark such as 'Toh chadddi mein ghoomu kya' invokes a 'chaddi march' with a few hundred kids. Or the shameless way they manipulate their parents sans any qualms.
Many 'values' and 'morals' have been woven into the script. Such as how people employ child labour without batting an eyelash. Or how there is no respite for a daily wage earner even when he's shivering with fever. Although it could have been handled in a subtler fashion, but it forms an integral part of the film.
If the screenplay suffers it is due to the so-called climax (is any kiddie film complete without it) which seems foisted. The children morph into young adults abruptly. As they mouth dialogues which don't seem to come from their heart, they lose their charm which is what attracted us to them in the first place. The politician and his goon don't just appear absurd to a child, they are bizarre villainous caricatures who ideally should have induced fear but they turn into mere irritants.
Chillar Party is an enjoyable film with plenty of laughs. Do watch this, unless of course you hate kids.
