Chhello Divas (2015) :
Brief Review -
A wholesome entertainer from nostalgic College days which lacks cinematic intelligence. Chhello Divas is a teenage drama full of laught riots, full of nostalgia and full of fun. The film is about a group of friends studying in senior college, how they enjoy their college days, how they fool their teachers, how they trick each other for trolls, the love story, flirting and what not, it's almost everything that all of us have done in college days. There is no message, thoughtful segments or intellectual portion in the film which makes it apart from quality film tag. Although, it has one final speech in the climax which is bit emotional but the fact is whatever is said in the speech hadn't actually happened in the film. This is where the cinematic intelligence falls short, and by margin. You see, the speech is about how we enjoyed those days and how we are gonna miss it but the visual surrounding of it is something different, i mean totally irrelevant. I mean the 2 minutes speech itself sounds more intelligent than the entire 130 minutes narrative, how absurd it is. Anyways, it was made for fun and nostalgic experience where it provides a lot, you will laugh, you will recall those memories and you might even get emotional. Coming from regional cinema, Chello Divas is more a local film with local humour which is why it is a top notch film but the disadvantage is the pan India audience may not enjoy the same local humour like local audience did. Overall, it's a good entertainer and nothing else so it's a good popcorn flick but if you're looking for some quality and content oriented cinema then you don't get it here. For that we have some quality classics in Bollywood and Marathi Cinema, if you haven't seen it yet. Chhello Divas is Nice and Enjoyable but not a quality stuff.
RATING - 6/10*
