Chippa

Sunny Pawar's natural yet excellent performance as protagonist 'Chippa' surpasses the expectation. Every character in this movie is being crafted as realistic as it could be. From the postal officials to the little puppy, everyone has a strong screen presence irrespective of the screen time. It took me to the down memory lane when I could revisit the deserted but illuminated streets in the city of love through the eyes of that little boy. The dialogues are very amusing and effective. I did not expect any plot twist or climax in this film but it ended with one which basically depicts a tragedy.

A street boy with a dead mother & abandoned by his father who he has never seen roaming to the streets of Kolkata on his 10th birthday with no purpose but to experience what life brings to him also finding someone who could read the letter of his father which is written in Urdu. Talking heavy and deep with contrast to his age with sheer innocence and honesty shows how brutal life has been to him hitting hard to its audience right where it needed to achieve that connectivity & sympathy. Sunny Pawar the sole lead of the movie with just 10 years of age doing all the heavy liftings engages you emotionally his performance is just out class and keeps you intact. Its just delightful to watch an actor leading the whole movie like this in this very little age. Screenplay & Direction by Safdar Rahman is also praise worthy as it didn't dragged much he kept it tight throughout. Editing & Cinematography is also very good making this simple drama emotionally engaging. All in all I loved the movie very much.

CHIPPA IS A WINNING COMBINATION OF HEART, IMAGINATION, CRAFT AND AN ENDEARING SUNNY PAWAR.

Amazing movie with great acting, nice concept and remarkable work....

After all the negativity during this lockdown, this documentary shows the innocence that we have been missing growing up alongside the touch of the unseen Kolkata!
