Chillar party is a film written and directed by Nitesh Tiwari and Vikas Bahl.So I saw this film knowing basically nothing about it. Yes, I knew it was something about kids. and also that it has been directed by Nitesh Tiwari (Dangal) and Vikas Behl (Queen). I wanted to see that how these two fantastic minds were got together for a film. It was at a time when UTV Spotboy used to bring fresh talent to direct films (BTW Vikas Bahl was one of the spearheads of UTV Spotboy division). Salman Khan too has received a producer credit for the film (obviously because of his love for kids).Plot: Some close friends of the Chandan Nagar Society in Mumbai jump to help a friend who is in trouble.Story and Direction: We have many a times seen people deciding to help others no matter what (This is mostly the case in Indian Love Stories). But when you put the story onto kids, it becomes an entirely different case. So in the very first scene we are introduced to the "Chillar party". The way the names of the members of this "party" are kept is very unique and funny. As the plot progresses, we see the introduction of characters Fatka and Bhidu. Which also impress us (not initially but subsequently). And then to some of the funny characters of the society. Which also are quite impressive. The main villain of the film also was good. The politician also looking for an issue to come to the limelight was quite real. The tone of the film starts from comedy to drama (which I had guessed when the movie started). But sometimes I also felt quite disconnected towards the film. That was mainly in the first half. For this I blame the writing. So a NATIONAL AWARD for this part, I guess it was not right.Performances: The stars of the film are the kids. The way they conduct themselves in all of the scenes are impressive. A special mention to the character Jhangya. I was laughing in all the scenes he said his dialogue. I was quite happy that all the kids got a NATIONAL AWARD for this. The politician/villain of the film was also very good. And the rest of the supporting characters were all fitting the bill.Music: Amit Trivedi scores the film songs and background score. Heis actually quite good in commercial music too. He should actually do this type of music quite often. After A R Rahman, if I like any musician it would be him. "Tai Tai Phis" and "Hum Ek thali ke" were some of my favorites of this film.Favorite scene: I guess it would be the climax of the scene between the kids and Bhide. The way in which Bhide lashes out at the kids for going rogue to save someone and the way the kids take out their Value Education textbook and say one liners from each page of the book to justify their action was commendable.Verdict: On the whole, Chillar Party was an enjoyable film. Although I felt a tiny bit disconnected during the first half, the film was still good, if not excellent.So for me the film is a 8/10 film.

Well, Chillar party is the one of movies which puts smile on everyone's face. From the stating up to end of movie, it is full of emotions and comedy. The child artists in this movie really deserved to be applauded. They have shown tremendous artistic skills and i would say that they are far better as compare to present Bollywood actors. Chillar Party completely summarizes the story of courage and determination. It shows the importance of strong willpower that need to be ignited in each children. This movie completely portrays that your age doesn't matter if you decide to achieve anything.Chillar party is a story of complete grit and this movie is not for the children only even grown up people can learn lot of things through it. I would highly recommend this movie in your watch list. It is the one of the rarest children's movie that Bollywood has produced till now.

This is another movie of "Taare Zamein Par" category with very good story, dialogs and message. This is what Youth need in India. My family Loved it ... I already have stacked Taare zamein Par, 3 Idiots and now this is again good. I happened to accidentally come across this in Netflix and we watched it ... This movie is a must watch when you are kids, or if you like inspirational + sentimental + comedy ... 10 points for the director. This movie should be shown in school to kids to change the way they think and to be more confident and do things in good cause. For a change main actors are kids and they have done wonderful job. Make a Sequel if Director can read this ...

To express this film in a review is not going to be easy for anyone.It's not a normal orthodox or formula film with few children but it's a more natural spontaneous daily account of a society.Starting with the nicknames so honest that it reminded me many of those my nicknames.All the cast was so honest in their approach except 'Jhangya drinking milk with his father having a drink' and 'googly'(i really can't digest him/her).Acting-I noticed nobody acting in the movie everybody was just so natural.It's a satire on media and politics of India told in a manner that many of viewers might had found tough to figure out.Now kudos to director of this movie very few times i have seen Indian kids doing it so naturally on screen and it's one of those times and it must be patience of director. Entertainment is there for everybody.
