This year has been great for Kollywood as it delivered movies with solid stories and strong screenplay. Chithha is one of them.
"Chithha" is not just a movie, it represents a life. It raises awareness towards child sexual abuse and rape. I'd like to commend the director, Arun Kumar, for creating a film that delivers a strong message to society. The film portrays a beautiful dialogue that showcases the pain coming from the character Sakthi. Unlike typical movies, the hero doesn't hunt down and kill the villain, which makes it unique. This movie's success and impact is evident in the recent past."
Siddharth deserves praise for choosing this script and pouring his heart and soul into it. He carried the entire movie on his shoulders with the help of the crew. Siddharth's portrayal of different emotions is just amazing. He has proved that he is not just a chocolate boy anymore and he is a performer too. His expressions of joy with his family, his love for his niece, his pain when everyone blames him, his realization of the main problem, and the climax part are all remarkable. One particular scene where he shows the pain on his face while the little girl and her mom are talking about what is good touch and what is bad touch is a testament to his excellent performance in this movie. In summary, Siddharth has just nailed it!
The entire crew that acted in this movie deserves high praise, starting from Nimisha, Anjali, and the two little girls to the lady who was in the trishaw with the character Sundari. They have all played their parts to perfection, which is no easy feat considering the complexity of the script. Hats off to the movie maker for bringing life to these characters.
I would like to commend the magical work of the cinematographer Balaji Subramanyam as it gives life to the movie throughout. The songs of Dhibu Ninan Thomas are another strong pillar of this movie.
This movie is a must-watch for everyone. It has a huge impact that's hard to ignore. In an era where commercial movies and action scripts dominate the industry, Arun Kumar and Siddharth deserve a round of applause for creating an impactful and thought-provoking movie. Last year Gargi made a lot of impact and this year it is all about Chithha. (If you have not watched the movie Gargi, please go ahead and watch.
