Chippa (Netflix)
Starring Sunny Pawar, Chandan Roy Sanyal
Written and Directed by Safdar Rahman
Very few of our films cast children in the main role. It is a pleasure to see little Sunny Pawar who stole the show from Dev Patel in Lion, roaring again in a small film with a big heart.
In Chippa again, young Sunny Pawar is lost in Kolkata. This time the city of joy doesn’t look as irradiant as it did in Lion. The frames are palely lit and the narrative’s texture has a drab feel to it. Also, Sunny playing a street urchin named Chippa meets only kind-hearted people on the deserted night streets Kolkata.
A ten-year old boy roaming all alone in Kolkata all night? One trembles at the thought, but writer-director Safdar Rahman is an optimist. He lets his little hero loose in a Kolkata filled with football-playing, drinking, reminiscing Kolkatanas of every age.

For those of you who remember little Sunny Pawar in the 2016 film "Lion" (he played Dev Patel's younger on-screen self), the young actor is back with another magnificent act in "Chippa", a watchable effort that inexplicably comes with zero hype. For a quick reckoner, "Chippa" is a small film that went to a few big festivals before landing up in a tiny, inconspicuous corner of the ever-burgeoning Ott space.
