Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya was the sleeper hit of 2019 in Tollywood. Made with a decent budget, the film turned out to be blockbuster. The film garnered both critical acclaims as well as commercial success. And the face which turned several heads with this film is Naveen Polishetty. He got good recognition among youth and college-goers. Now, Naveen’s Bollywood debut Chhichhore is making waves as the film garnered positive reviews from several corners.
What is Chhichhore about & How It Is?
Chhichhore starts from present and takes us to the past of a Gang who proudly call them LOSERS. In present, Anirudh (Sushant) is married to Maya (Shraddha Kapoor) and they are divorced. Their teenage son Raghav, who is under pressure from competitive exams, attempts suicide and is hospitalized. He is in semi-conscious stage. Doctors declare that Raghav is not just physically weak but also mentally weak.
With son battling for life in the hospital, his heart-broken father Anirudh (Sushant) believes the only way to bring his son out of trauma by taking him through his own memory lane – back to his hostel days from engineering college where he fell in love with Maya (Shraddha Kapoor) and his gang of Losers – Sexa (Varun Sharma), Acid (Naveen Polishetty), Derek (Tahir Raj Bhasin), Bevda (Saharsh Kumar Shukla) and Mummy (Tushar Pandey).
The entertainment and emotions are in right dose. Chhichhore, the buddy-story, delivers a good message. The entire film relies on the message of “What if we fail? What do we do then?” Though it has the shades of Raju Hirani’s 3 Idiots with the hostel atmosphere and the treatment, Chhichhore is engaging. The surprise in climax is worth waiting for.
Who Did Well?
Sushant Singh Rajput (Anirudh), Shraddha Kapoor (Maya) did their best. Sushant excelled in emotional scenes. After Saaho, Shraddha Kapoor did a fine job as Maya where she acted with equal vibrancy. Varun Sharma (Sexa), who is addicted to porn, is hilarious. Prateik Babbar, Tushar Pandey Tahir Raj Bhasin enhanced the show. And newcomer and our Telugu actor Naveen’s stint got rave reviews and he got noticed in Hindi with this role.
Naveen is seen as Acid in the film. Yes, you read it right. His character name is Acid and he can’t stop abusing. He nailed it. And he is getting good recognition and applause in Bollywood, thanks to his ‘Acid’ show. With this, Naveen may bag a few more offers in Bollywood. Overall, it is a splashy and perfect debut to Naveen. And thanks to director Nitesh Tiwari (of Dangal fame) for picking Naveen and launching him in Bollywood with Chhichhore.
