A movie that’ll give you a nostalgic throwback to your college-hostel life while keeping you connected to the realities of life. 

Ok, so honestly I didn’t notice any buzz around Chhichorre until my college hostel group on WhatsApp flared up with messages saying that it’s a ‘must-watch’.

And I’m glad that I watched it because it is one of the more entertaining and relatable college-campus drama I’ve seen in a while.

Imagine the fun bonding of 3 Idiots and the dramatic competition of Student Of The Year, now rewind to the college life back in the 90s. Yup, that’s what this movie is about. 

It is a light-hearted comedy that is perfect to blow off the steam, after a tough day of work.

10. There is a very strong and hard-hitting truth that we’ve taken with us from this movie.

Even though Chhichhore is a light-hearted comedy film, it beautifully draws your attention towards a much-ignored social message.
