IF YOU ARE GUJARATI. Why to waste money behind nonsense Bollywood movies? For past few years there have been few Gujarati movies which has changed the way Gujarati movies were for almost a decade (or I guess always). All my childhood Gujarati movies were mostly based on famous Gujarati novels or Mythologies.
Then came this era where people were going to see the stars instead the story. And during this era the viewers viewed only boring movies (mostly). But the after the 'Kevi Rite Jais' movie, I thing the Gujarati cinema took a turn (towards the good). Seen the movie 'Be Yaar' and 'Gujjubhai' recently. And, I think, this one is even better.
Don't take your kids with you because the comedy is for adults mostly. But, a must watch movie if: you like comedies you are Gujarati and, you are already bored with Bollywood comedies Just go and watch this.
My money was not wasted. Very good effort to make such Gujarati movie. Acting of all actors are good. Storyline of amdavadi college life is very weak.
Director has shown very cheap and very vulgar side of amdavadi collegians. There are many situation in colleges that can create very good comedy.
But director has chosen short cut to make laugh on public face by such vulgar and cheap comedy. And there is big potential in amdavadi and Gujarati college life to direct nice comedy film but they didn't do it.
It shows that Director has very weak and less research work on amdavadi college life. I have really made mistake that I went to watch movie with my parents and my little children with expectation of nice storyline and comedy on amdavadi life style, but I am totally disappointed. Hope for better art work next time.
Chhello Divas (2015) Directed by Krishnadev Yagnik is a light hearted comedy movie with some really good punches. The movie revolves around college life of eight friends and their journey of their graduation.
This is my first review for a Gujarati movie. I think Gujarati cinema is becoming a mainstream cinema and taking steps forward with big budget films and a full-fledged theatrical releases all over India after Kevi Rite Jaish and Bey Yaar. Talking about this movie, had enjoyed a lot while watching and relive that college time memories again. The dialouges are truly gujju which will be stay back with you till long as you can relate them with the day to day situation. When we talk about the technical aspect there are some flaws in the movie, the background score was too over and some scenes looks too over dramatic because of that.Acting was brilliant by all lead actors except Loy (Mitra Gadhvi) in some scenes. Overall it was a brilliant effort to make such a good cinema. Will look forward for more good movies from this industry.
And yes that dialouge is an epic one. Te mara mate coffee kem mangayi??
I am unable to understand why so much hype about this movie. Only reason which I can think of why people are giving 9 or 10 rating, is lack of other options (in Gujarati cinema).
Yeah, on comparative basis ('one eyed man is king in the country of blinds', this is a nice, refreshing, college, comedy movie. However, if you compare movie with others by having language neutral attitude then its a average farcical comedy. Some scenes are in fact 'cheap to watch with family': e.g. Arranged marriage scene where all friends visit bride's home, men's room comedy scene at college. Can be watched once if you are a Gujarati, for others its a 'must skip'. Well there was so much hype about this movie and everyone suggesting to watch it twice or thrice but watching once was good enough its just a one time watch.I could not find any story in it thats biggest drawback. For a comedy movie, running time is too long.
However 5 stars to this movie just due to few hilarious scenes and good performance. Its not as good as be yaar or Kevi rite jais but funnier. I hope they continue making Gujarati movies but with a story.Watch it just for comedy scenes and keep your brain at home.
The urban Gujarati movies are developing faster but still they are not as good as gujarati nataks but hoping for better. It is really not a movie but it it around 25-30 clips of 5-6 minutes together of non-relative stand up comedies. I didn't find relation even between two consecutive scenes. There is no direction or flow. Avoid to watch it in theaters. Yeah I laughed many times when I watched this movies but do this on your PC. For comedy I give 7/10.
I think they must be some stand up comedians. But they have spoiled the art of movie.
Music and editing were 4/10. For story 0/10! Till end I was unable to find story behind the movie!
It is not with bad story but it is without story! Please don't ask about climax:p From starting story reveal around college life but what they really wanted to convey I could not make it out. (actually it is not my weakness here:p).
Bey Yaar was way way better than this. Gujjubhai was also very good one.
But this has no comparison with them. What a fun and beautiful movie it is! It takes you inside the screen and make you feel realistic. Specially as a Gujarati this movie would break record of box-office collection of all previous Gujarati movies and will run for longest period for sure. The presentation of the movie is so natural and realistic that you will fall in love with the cast and you will feel real characters of yours or your friends on reels:) 2 hours of continuous laughing exercise:D In gujarati I would say 'Exactly maja kari':) Superb casting, Fantastic screen play, Excellent Dialogues and hilariously funny - you will not stop laughing for even 1 minute!! Go gujjus go for it, you will not regret for sure:). I am very happy with this movie.
I think this movie will change craze and thinking of negative people. Chappad Fatake Movie directed by all team hard work.
I appreciate to all team of movie maker and I am specially big fan of janki bodiwala wow what a beauty and what a entry in this film and bit all dialog and each scene like very funny and contact performed comedy role. That is oh my god. First time ever I laughed very much very freedom without hesitate with my wife in cinema and I spend movie ticket without think what is ticket price because I don't know why i spend but I was thinking we need to grow up our Gujarati movie craze in the next generation I hope keep it up in future like this movie more more more. Generally we spend waste money and waste time for Bollywood and Hollywood movies. If People thinking change in new direction differently will ahead one step.
Bollywood and Tollywood should be jealous our movies. Now enough we bore same story, love story, mixing confusion movie in bollywood. Chhelo Divas Strongly recommended to all Gujarati-an go to watch. You will say that's movie original comedy this is not copy. Climax such a touch in our heart that is necessary you never miss college days. If u consider psychology, the movie is perfect.
Batter than any college life movie. We have enjoy all the movies like 3 idiots, student of the year, but now I guess the best one is 'CHHELLO DIVAS'. No emergency airplane landing, No vacuum delivery, No unnecessary things, Be straight for college people mentality. Which kind of mentality in college life, which kind of students in college, which kind of principal-professors are also there, which kind of incidents in classrooms-canteen-home-cafeteria are also there.
Make sure, u will remember your old friends & college time & it will make you cry once again.Congratulation to all the PERFORMERS & specially DIRECTOR. Waiting for your new movie Mr. KRISHNADEV YAGNIK. We can't have a particular definition for 'CHHELLO DIVAS'. JUST ENJOY IT & REMEMBER YOUR GOLDEN TIME AGAIN. Offbeat Gujarati Movie It is indeed a concept that would be appreciated by many people who know Gujarati language and are fond of watching Gujarati movie.
In the wilderness of 'Hatke Gujarati Movie' this kind of movie gives enjoyment throughout the two and half hours. Though the movie is circling around College Friends, (their carelessness for life apart from their friendship) mostly all age groups will admire the humor shown in the film. Director and Story writer Mr.Yagnik and his entire team left nothing behind to show such interesting concept, and I really appreciate the team for the entire hard work they did to get this result. My biggest surprise was 'Entire Star Cast' whom I have never seen on any major platform of Cinema except 1 or 2. The last thing for the creators of 'Chello Divas' when is next?
In anticipation to witness you soon with another wonderful concept. Thanks for the breathtaking exhibition of college days of life. Personal clarification: I cried and I laughed so much that my jaw pained for 2 -3 hours. Fully entertainer Gujarati movie.
This movie is fully based on the college life and story of 4 friends, their routine life and how they enjoy all moments of life just by chilling everything. There is nothing like story in this movie, the different situations are merged only, but how the writer merged all scenes,its really appreciable. The acting of all actors is classic, the chemistry of Yash Soni and Janki Bodiwala sounds good. If you are college students, then you will enjoy a lot with your buddies. And you already passed the college, then i m damn sure, you will surly remember your college days, if you enjoyed your college life. Dialogs of Mayur Chauhan are stunning. Yes, regular watchers may not like this kind of movie.
Yes, i suggest you to watch this movie with your buddies, because some local conversation, you can't be comfortable with your parents. Hats off to these entertainers. Chhello Diwas seems like a work of a bunch of film school failed scriptwriters, cinematographers and a director who in their last ditch effort to make some money, made a deal with some very talented but out of work comedy writers. It's funny, but only in parts. In the first scene movie tries hard to engage the viewer's attention by basing the movie on the backdrop of the lead hero's accident (which is filmed in a somewhat less juvenile manner) but soon Peters out into an incoherent, pointless and immature plot with some laugh out loud comedy. The lead characters are lazily written and are one dimensional, cardboard cutouts. The girls are there just so the audience gets to see something else.
I highly suspect that there wasn't a script written for the movie. Camera-work is juvenile replete with superfluous shaky camera effect.
I highly recommend watching it on PC with your mouse on the forward button. After watching two new and quite creative films like Kevi Rite Jaish and Bey Yaar, I've gone for this one with a great expectation but in vain.
I really had to be suffered throughout the film. And it was not enough as it has received highest ratings on IMDb!
Most won't agree with my review but the truth is that the film lakes many things such as the story (truly man it has no story at all), real joke is that there's no joke at all, lake of emotional touch (personally I couldn't bond myself with it). Of course the performances were great by all the actors and actresses but it could've been better if tried hard. You think of it as a comedy or an entertaining movie but you can't just throw vulgar phrases repeatedly in order to make audience laugh. It has nearly confusing plot as it constantly confuses the lives of the characters' who lives in it. The film sometimes gives you the feeling like you're watching the serial, scattered incidents baffles you and leaves no clarification if you neurons are habituated for asking questions! So, my overall review for the film is 1 out of 10 and for actors' performance 9 out of 10. Chello Divas is definitely a 'must watch' movie.
This is surely a beginning of new era of Gujarati Cinema. It does contain some adult jokes but I think, those are part and parcel of metro life today. The characters have justifies their parts. It is quite different from regular comedies.
It has no sort of tragic endings or unbelievable incidents. Although it is being shown for Amdavaadi collegians, it is obviously true for almost every college guy.
Some scenes can surely be avoided and are unnecessary. Also, the character played as Dhruval seems quite unrealistic but he is fun. The irritating Girlfriend element brought in the movie is an highlight of Chello Divas. The music given by the composers was pretty good. Also, the songs included were up to the mark and seem perfect. Overall, it is an amazing movie and we await more movies like this.
Alert - More personal thoughts rather than movie review. First of all i am crazy about watching movies. I have seen more than 1500 Hollywood 800 bollywood and around 100 gujarati movies. I like the movie where i can connect myself to the world of movie. If you put more drama over real life situation i feel disconnected. As a gujarati i have seen gujarati movies when i was young.
Most of them were good for just timepass if you have no other option. You can not feel the movies at that time because they were over dramatic and talking about very old culture. However the bollywood was also not different at that time. Apart from 2% art cinema most of the movies were over drama. I like the old rajshri and Hrishikesh mukherji movies. I started watching Hollywood movies when i was teenager.
At that time i have seen dubbed movies. I fell in love with them. Even the fantasy world they create in the movie looks more real than our own local movie world. It took almost 10 years to watch most of the Hindi dubbed movies. I remember the days when i reach DVD store to buy them and out of 200 dvds (approx) i can hardly found 3 or 4 dvds which i have not seen. I used to collect them and 10 years ago i had largest collection of Hindi dubbed movies (over 200 dvds) in my entire circle. I lost that collection now but i have now 300 movies in computer and that too after deleting many of them.
Now my English is good (not very good) so i can also see and understand non dubbed movies. In last few years i have seen 300 hundred English movies. This whole details is to just to let you know that i am not unknown to the world cinema. Now this movie is certainly a milestone in history of gujarati cinema. The best movie according to me is when you can create the real world around your story. Locations are also important. I really felt that the language, characters and situations are really fascinating.
I know that may be some people will not understand certain humor (Some typical amdavadi line like 'Mara bapa to bau moti note') but i know all these words. Only movie so far where i felt that characters are speaking my language (of course gujarati). I felt amazing to hear some of the lines and words in movie scenes. Must watch movie for every gujarati. Felt bad that movie is more seen on internet over theaters.
Excellent movie! Kudos to entire team of Chello Divas. We need more of such movie makers who can envision and portray Gujarati cinema in such style. A movie which can be compared with some of the highly successful Comedy movies of Bollywood.
All the actors have done a good job. Special mention to an actor who played as Vicky for being center part of most of the comedy scenes. Even the music was awesome, If such were the movie songs we would love to hear more of such songs. This movie is definitely much better than many idiotic Bollywood movies who are made with big starts and no brains. The dialogue from an actor who played a role of peon were hilarious.
A delight to watch. I hope that Makers of this movie come up with second part of Chello Divas. The movie names 'chello Divas' but could be the dawn of new era for Gujarati movie industry.
It looks like finally Gujarati movie fans have got Dil Chahta Hai in their language. The movie, from the word go, connects with the audience, and surely commands repeat audience. With three movies doing great in 2015, Gujarati cinema has surely came long way and is set to go, perhaps, international as well.
Story (9/10): While the plot doesn't have any novelty in it, but the intricacies of the story has been woven very nicely and presented well. All in all, it is a story of eight college friends and their budding relationships, experiences, mischief and creation of innumerable memories during the college time.
It doesn't feel boring at any time due to multiple sub plots and story juggling between them. Acting (10/10): While all of them have played their part well, one person that stands out from the entire lot is Malhar Thakkar.
Starting off with less than a minute and unnoticed cameo in Kevi Rite Jaish, this guy made sure he is all over the place in Chello Divas. With brilliant comic timing and wicked expressions, he brings amazing energy to the movie. Yash Soni and Janki Bodiwala are a kind of unlikely on-screen couple but share a good chemistry. They are the ones to watch out for in future and would like to see more of them. All other supporting cast has made their presence felt during the movie, and some of them even after the movie. The level of authenticity that the cast has brought to the movie through their dialog delivery and accent, elevated the movie to the next level. Direction (10/10): With very less novelty in the plot, it all comes to perfect execution and Krishnadev has nailed it brilliantly.
The nuances of Gujarat college life, pranks, jargons etc have been captured very well. The speech in the climax by Janki Bodiwala is very nostalgic and can be played again and again. It just touches your heart. Overall (10/10): I might have some biased view for the movie since I would review it more emotionally than objectively. Someone who has not lived a college life in Gujarat might not be able to relate, but for the rest, it just strikes the right chords. The movie is a must watch if you want to relive your college life.
