The Trailer Of India’s Official Entry To Oscars, ‘Chhello Show’ Is Here. It Is A Heartwarming Story About Cinema And Dreams!

Being a Gujarati, I have always appreciated art that originated in the state of Gujarat. Be it food, dance, music or clothes, these things always appeal to the Gujju in me! Over the past couple of years, I have also come to watch Gujarati films and have loved many of them! So, my excitement and pride knew no bounds when I heard the news that the Gujarati movie Chhello Show is India’s official entry into the Oscars. Also, the trailer of that film dropped on September 28. This coming-of-age drama film is directed by Pan Nalini who is known for getting behind the camera to direct Samsara, a widely acclaimed film. The cast of Chhello Show includes Bhavin Rabari, Bhavesh Shrimali, Richa Meena, Dipen Raval and Paresh Mehta in titular roles.

The two-minute-long Chhello Show trailer begins with a man who runs a small tea stall beside the railway station. He tells his family that that day, they will go to town to watch a film. His son, Samay, is very fascinated with the digital projection of the movie on the screen. He decides to know more about the whole process and bribes the man who handles the behind-the-curtain process with his school tiffin.

But he gets caught by his father bunking school and the police also get involved when Samay and his friends steal the film reels that were going to get destroyed because of the digital projectors. But his passion to learn the art of filmmaking burns like fire in him and nothing can stop Samay from cutting those stolen reels and making projecting them on the walls.

The Chhello Show trailer beautifully shows a little boy’s passion for films while incorporating the essence of friendship. It makes you want to anticipate what and how things will unfold for Samay. There is one shot in the trailer that shows little Samay standing on top of many film reels, giving the message the cinema is larger than life! The trailer itself shows how important cinema is for society as people throng the single-screen cinemas to grab tickets for movies!
