Chhakka Panja 5 (2024)

Review by ultrondevelopments

Chhakka Panja 5

2/10

Feels like it was shot on an iPhone with random people

I can't remember the last time I felt so let down by a movie. From start to finish, it felt like it was shot on an iPhone-grainy visuals, awkward angles, and an overall lack of polish that made it hard to take seriously. While some indie films can charm with a low-budget feel, this one missed the mark completely. Instead of feeling intimate or raw, it just looked amateurish, like a rushed project that needed more time in production.

The characters, unfortunately, did nothing to save this film. They were so one-dimensional that it was hard to care about anything they were going through. No depth, no growth, and absolutely no emotional connection. It felt like the actors themselves weren't invested, and their performances reflected that. It was almost as if they were given just a few lines of background for their roles, with no thought put into who these people were or why we should care.

The quality of the movie overall was incredibly poor. The lighting was inconsistent, the sound was muffled in places, and the editing was sloppy, making it feel as though the film had been thrown together at the last minute. Scenes would abruptly cut off, leaving some moments feeling incomplete or pointless. Even the storytelling was disjointed, with poorly executed transitions and a lack of any real flow or cohesion.

Worst of all, it felt rushed. Ironically, despite the film dragging with its slow pacing, it somehow gave the impression that it was made in a hurry, without any attention to detail or care for the final product. It's frustrating because you can tell the idea behind the film could've been interesting if it were developed properly. Instead, it ended up being a confusing and unpolished mess that failed to deliver on every front.

In the end, this movie was a chore to sit through. Between the poor production quality, shallow characters, and a narrative that felt like it was going nowhere, I can't give it more than 2/10. It's one of those films that leaves you scratching your head, wondering how it made it past the editing room in this state. Save yourself the time-this one's a hard pass.
