Chillar Party. A gang of kids. All are 1st to 5th standard going kids. Ever wondered where all the innocence that is part of being a kid has disappeared? Its all in this movie. Their expressions, plans, enemies, emotions, fears, enthusiasm - have been wonderfully portrayed in this two hour long movie.
The movie starts out with an introduction of each of the characters (kids). This part is wonderful, DO NOT MISS THIS! The nicknames they keep for each other, hilarious :)
They now have a new enemy - a new kid with a pet dog. The plans they try, so innocently to drive this enemy out of their society only hurts the new kid on the block. Even though these kids are so young at age, they realise that they cannot hurt anyone else-even though he maybe a stranger. (Wonder why grown ups don't realise something this easy). This chillar party then befriends the new kid and the friendship blossoms. The "friend in need is a friend indeed" attitude helps the new kid maintain his position as a "car-washer" in the society.
What then starts is a bollywood style twist. Enter politics. These kids take on a politician to save their favourite pet dog from being captured by the "stray dog" van. This is a little exaggerated, but I liked the "battle hour" at the end. Brings out a message so strong that I wish every grown up would watch this just for that.
The direction is good. The acting skills of all those teeny weeny kids..is superb! The story telling is also nice.
Go watch this movie to feel like a kid, to remember your childhood masti, to enjoy and relish the innocence of these kids, which is highly missing these days. Enjoy! I'd say this movie is a must watch, atleast once!
