Chillar Party had a poor start of 15-20%. The film is dependent on word of mouth.

‘Bodyguard’ promo will be out with ‘Singham’. That’s the status right now. I am sure ‘Bodyguard’ will overtake ‘Dabangg’ in terms of B.O. numbers. Salman Khan’s popularity is at peak. ~ @taran_adarsh

Once upon a dog…! @BeingSalmanKhan claims that it is by far the best film he’s ever been a part of. And you know what? It’s entirely true…! #ChillarParty

Saturday, July 09, 2011
Earlier, all kids could claim their own were the stray films from the government-aided CFSI, and though many of their projects were delightful, their ultra-low budget productions were riddled with inconsistencies and a lack of wide release meant that they just weren’t watched by enough people.

But with some of India’s biggest stars and production houses backing the genre, much lost ground has been recovered in the last half-decade.

And after Zokkomon and Stanely ka Dabba earlier this year, we have Chillar Party, produced by Salman Khan. He claims that it is by far the best film he’s ever been a part of. And you know what? It’s entirely true.

Chillar Party is set in a co-op housing colony and almost all the action unfolds here. It is the story of middle-class kids, who after some tussling, accept and befriend a vagabond urchin and his pet stray dog, Bhidu.
Enter a minister Bhide who decides to pass a law to cleanse Mumbai of strays. Despite their parents, the feisty kids choose to retaliate and this escalates into an epic Bhidu vs. Bhide battle.

You can almost sense the effort that’s gone into writing the screenplay of CP; there is hardly a redundant scene or really, even a moment. And yet because there are so many kids - Chillar Party is a gang of every imaginable type - and their parents, whose characters are important and characteristics need highlighting, the story seems to unfold leisurely.

This is crucial, because when it turns and establishes itself to be a classic good vs evil tale, you’re all but hooked and fully sympathetic to the kids and their cause.

The emotional roller coaster that follows as the hapless kids take on the silver-tongued, bulbous-eyed politician is magical. The cause is simple - save strays, and specifically Bhidu.

For this, the kids have to win over their parents, the society, and indeed, the entire city. They use their own cunning and meager resources to reach a point that Salman Khan would be proud of, ie, stripping down to their underwear to make a point! The dialogue is top-notch and some of the lines the kids utter are little gems in themselves.

Let alone what they say, their energy as they play, fight, dance, and reason with adults is heartwarming and stirring.

Vikas Bahl and Nitesh Tiwari have done a marvelous job of directing these tiny tots. How they get such small kids with no experience to hit the mark and keep the camera in focus is beyond comprehension.

At 2 hours 15 minutes CP is perhaps a tad too long, especially with ever- shortening attention spans of the target audience. Also, it tends to be on the edge of crossing the line and becoming preachy in the climax.

Still, Chillar Party deserves high rating because it is a simple story that children will enjoy. That it is an unabashed love letter to dogs only adds to the charm.

There is no heavy message at the end of it. In fact, the film underlines all that is good, principles that children will already be instinctively familiar with. If anything, it’s parents that need reminding. So if you’re a parent watch this film with your kid. Actually, even if you’re not, watch this film.
