Chhello Divas (2015) Directed by Krishnadev Yagnik is a light hearted comedy movie with some really good punches. The movie revolves around college life of eight friends and their journey of their graduation.

This is my first review for a Gujarati movie. I think Gujarati cinema is becoming a mainstream cinema and taking steps forward with big budget films and a full-fledged theatrical releases all over India after Kevi Rite Jaish and Bey Yaar.

Talking about this movie, had enjoyed a lot while watching and relive that college time memories again. The dialouges are truly gujju which will be stay back with you till long as you can relate them with the day to day situation.

When we talk about the technical aspect there are some flaws in the movie, the background score was too over and some scenes looks too over dramatic because of that.Acting was brilliant by all lead actors except Loy (Mitra Gadhvi) in some scenes.

Overall it was a brilliant effort to make such a good cinema. Will look forward for more good movies from this industry.

And yes that dialouge is an epic one... Te mara mate coffee kem mangayi??

3.5/5

Fully entertainer Gujarati movie.

This movie is fully based on the college life and story of 4 friends , their routine life and how they enjoy all moments of life just by chilling everything.

There is nothing like story in this movie, the different situations are merged only , but how the writer merged all scenes ,its really appreciable.

The acting of all actors is classic , the chemistry of Yash Soni and Janki Bodiwala sounds good.

If you are college students, then you will enjoy a lot with your buddies.

And you already passed the college, then i m damn sure, you will surly remember your college days , if you enjoyed your college life.

Dialogs of Mayur Chauhan are stunning.

yes, regular watchers may not like this kind of movie.

yes, i suggest you to watch this movie with your buddies, because some local conversation , you can't be comfortable with your parents.

Hats off to these entertainers.

9 out of 10.

When u sit for this movie just don't think about cinematic norms. Only thing you should be concerned about is laugh and this one laugh you like hell. Don't expect any mind blowing story coz it doesn't have any. Just some random moment of one friend circle which are downright hilarious. Some may feel this is over the top stuff but if u wanna laugh just forget everything and enjoy the sequences. You won't be disappointed.

IF YOU ARE GUJARATI... Why to waste money behind nonsense Bollywood movies?

For past few years there have been few Gujarati movies which has changed the way Gujarati movies were for almost a decade (or I guess always).

All my childhood Gujarati movies were mostly based on famous Gujarati novels or Mythologies.

Then came this era where people were going to see the stars instead the story. And during this era the viewers viewed only boring movies (mostly).

But the after the "Kevi Rite Jais" movie, I thing the Gujarati cinema took a turn (towards the good).

Seen the movie "Be Yaar" and "Gujjubhai" recently. And, I think, this one is even better.

Don't take your kids with you because the comedy is for adults mostly. But, a must watch movie if:

you like comedies

you are Gujarati

and, you are already bored with Bollywood comedies

Just go and watch this.

My money was not wasted. Excellent.

What a movie it is! The film changed the way people viewed Gujarati films.this movie started new chapter of gujarati movies.

What a fun and beautiful movie it is! It takes you inside the screen and make you feel realistic. Specially as a Gujarati this movie would break record of box-office collection of all previous Gujarati movies and will run for longest period for sure. The presentation of the movie is so natural and realistic that you will fall in love with the cast and you will feel real characters of yours or your friends on reels:) 2 hours of continuous laughing exercise :D In gujarati I would say "Exactly maja kari" :)

Superb casting, Fantastic screen play, Excellent Dialogues and hilariously funny - you will not stop laughing for even 1 minute!!

Go gujjus go for it, you will not regret for sure :)

If u consider psychology, the movie is perfect.................. Batter than any college life movie................ We have enjoy all the movies like 3 idiots, student of the year, but now I guess the best one is 'CHHELLO DIVAS'..................... No emergency airplane landing, No vacuum delivery, No unnecessary things, Be straight for college people mentality................ Which kind of mentality in college life, which kind of students in college, which kind of principal-professors are also there, which kind of incidents in classrooms-canteen-home-cafeteria are also there............... Make sure, u will remember your old friends & college time & it will make you cry once again..........Congratulation to all the PERFORMERS & specially DIRECTOR.................. Waiting for your new movie Mr. KRISHNADEV YAGNIK...................... We can't have a particular definition for 'CHHELLO DIVAS'........................ JUST ENJOY IT & REMEMBER YOUR GOLDEN TIME AGAIN..........................

I am very happy with this movie. I think this movie will change craze and thinking of negative people. Chappad Fatake Movie directed by all team hard work. I appreciate to all team of movie maker and I am specially big fan of janki bodiwala wow what a beauty and what a entry in this film and bit all dialog and each scene like very funny and contact performed comedy role. that is oh my god. First time ever I laughed very much very freedom without hesitate with my wife in cinema and I spend movie ticket without think what is ticket price because I don't know why i spend but I was thinking we need to grow up our Gujarati movie craze in the next generation I hope keep it up in future like this movie more more more .......... Generally we spend waste money and waste time for Bollywood and Hollywood movies. If People thinking change in new direction differently will ahead one step. Bollywood and Tollywood should be jealous our movies. Now enough we bore same story, love story, mixing confusion movie in bollywood. Chhelo Divas Strongly recommended to all Gujarati-an go to watch. You will say that's movie original comedy this is not copy.

Climax such a touch in our heart that is necessary you never miss college days.

Well there was so much hype about this movie and everyone suggesting to watch it twice or thrice but watching once was good enough its just a one time watch .I could not find any story in it thats biggest drawback . For a comedy movie, running time is too long. However 5 stars to this movie just due to few hilarious scenes and good performance. Its not as good as be yaar or Kevi rite jais but funnier. I hope they continue making Gujarati movies but with a story.Watch it just for comedy scenes and keep your brain at home . The urban Gujarati movies are developing faster but still they are not as good as gujarati nataks but hoping for better. 4/10

Offbeat Gujarati Movie

It is indeed a concept that would be appreciated by many people who know Gujarati language and are fond of watching Gujarati movie.

In the wilderness of "Hatke Gujarati Movie" this kind of movie gives enjoyment throughout the two and half hours.

Though the movie is circling around College Friends, (their carelessness for life apart from their friendship) mostly all age groups will admire the humor shown in the film.

Director and Story writer Mr.Yagnik and his entire team left nothing behind to show such interesting concept, and I really appreciate the team for the entire hard work they did to get this result.

My biggest surprise was "Entire Star Cast" whom I have never seen on any major platform of Cinema except 1 or 2.

The last thing for the creators of 'Chello Divas" when is next? In anticipation to witness you soon with another wonderful concept.

Thanks for the breathtaking exhibition of college days of life.

Personal clarification: I cried and I laughed so much that my jaw pained for 2 -3 hours.

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*

Chhello Diwas seems like a work of a bunch of film school failed scriptwriters, cinematographers and a director who in their last ditch effort to make some money, made a deal with some very talented but out of work comedy writers. It's funny, but only in parts. In the first scene movie tries hard to engage the viewer's attention by basing the movie on the backdrop of the lead hero's accident (which is filmed in a somewhat less juvenile manner) but soon Peters out into an incoherent, pointless and immature plot with some laugh out loud comedy.

The lead characters are lazily written and are one dimensional, cardboard cutouts. The girls are there just so the audience gets to see something else.

I highly suspect that there wasn't a script written for the movie. Camera-work is juvenile replete with superfluous shaky camera effect.

I highly recommend watching it on PC with your mouse on the forward button.

This is a must watch for every gujarati about other i don't know. Though i am not in college but still this movie make us feel nostalgic XD

This movie is masterpiece and best movie of college life and nice story.

Each and every second of the movie is enjoyable... Go for it!!

A masterpiece in gujarati movie. Game changer in gujarati movie

very good effort to make such Gujarati movie. acting of all actors are good. storyline of amdavadi college life is very weak. director has shown very cheap and very vulgar side of amdavadi collegians. there are many situation in colleges that can create very good comedy. but director has chosen short cut to make laugh on public face by such vulgar and cheap comedy. And there is big potential in amdavadi and Gujarati college life to direct nice comedy film but they didn't do it. It shows that Director has very weak and less research work on amdavadi college life. I have really made mistake that I went to watch movie with my parents and my little children with expectation of nice storyline and comedy on amdavadi life style, but I am totally disappointed. Hope for better art work next time.

Chello Divas is definitely a "must watch" movie. This is surely a beginning of new era of Gujarati Cinema. It does contain some adult jokes but I think, those are part and parcel of metro life today. The characters have justifies their parts. It is quite different from regular comedies. It has no sort of tragic endings or unbelievable incidents. Although it is being shown for Amdavaadi collegians, it is obviously true for almost every college guy. Some scenes can surely be avoided and are unnecessary. Also, the character played as Dhruval seems quite unrealistic but he is fun. The irritating Girlfriend element brought in the movie is an highlight of Chello Divas. The music given by the composers was pretty good. Also, the songs included were up to the mark and seem perfect. Overall, it is an amazing movie and we await more movies like this.

Chhello Divas is one of the best comedy movie I have ever seen including Hindi and other films. Why it's one of the best because film has not a single scene where you find any boredom. Film got success because of it's fresh story, wonderfully written screenplay, great dialogues, and best performances from the cast. Especially Malhar Thakar, Yash Soni, Mitra Gadhvi and Arjav Trivedi. In female cast Janki Bodivala is gorgeous, Kinjal Rajpriya is also looks good with other female cast, supporting cast is also done fantastic job. Music department does good job with good Back ground score. Being a film based on college life most of the students and youngsters relate very well with this movie. I Would love to see if any sequel is made of this film.

It is really not a movie but it it around 25-30 clips of 5-6 minutes together of non-relative stand up comedies. I didn't find relation even between two consecutive scenes. There is no direction or flow. Avoid to watch it in theaters. Yeah I laughed many times when I watched this movies but do this on your PC. For comedy I give 7/10. I think they must be some stand up comedians. But they have spoiled the art of movie. Music and editing were 4/10. For story 0/10! Till end I was unable to find story behind the movie! It is not with bad story but it is without story! Please don't ask about climax :p From starting story reveal around college life but what they really wanted to convey I could not make it out. (actually it is not my weakness here :p). Bey Yaar was way way better than this. Gujjubhai was also very good one. But this has no comparison with them.
