Chhello DivasĬhhello Divas is one of the most watched movie in the Gujarati film industry and the most loved film by youngsters. Kevi Rite Jaish is considered as the first Gujarati Movie, which was packaged very minutely and precisely. Considering the level of the film, it is treated much like that of a Bollywood Film. Here’s a list of ten such Urban Gujarati Movies, which proves so:Ī Satire Film based on a story of Gujarati Family, who desires to send their son to The USA. The Gujarati movies, which are referred to by the name Dhollywood or Gollywood, is one of the major regional film industries of the Indian Cinema Industry, which proves that the level and quality of regional cinema is increasing with each passing day. Such is the case with the Gujarati Cinema Industry, which is showing the great rise of the regional cinema industry in the country. Some of the regional cinema industries are going through the cinema revolution in some recent years and when we talk about the quality and topics of movies, which are being adopted in that regional cinema, are far more worthy of great appreciation and are in fact, motivating enough for the Bollywood cinema makers to go into the remake of such. Overall, coming from the stable of Rashmi Sharma Productions who last week gave us the Amitabh Bachchan starrer "Pink", "Days of Tafree" is a big disappointment.The regional cinema industry, which ranges from Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Punjabi to Bhojpuri and Gujarati are a few to mention here but form a very important part of the life of the people living in those concerned areas. Moreover, after 30 minutes, the novelty factor of the film wears off and the narrative fatigue sets in. With a run time of little over two and a half hours, the film is a bit too lengthy. The cinematography and music are nothing much to write home about. With moderate production values, the film is well-mounted.
The maths professor and the principal have their moments of screen glory too. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable.Īnd there is a character playing Kevin, an artist who is lurking on the fringes. She is aptly paired with Nikhil and together they make a cute pair. Nimisha Mehta who plays Pooja is the Betty Cooper of this tale. She is somewhat dorky and the petite version of Big Ethel. He is aptly paired with Nisha, who finds it difficult to pronounce the alphabet "S". Constantly hungry and with his "duh" act and blunt demeanour, he brings a unique sense of comic relief to the narrative. Sarabjeet Bindra as Daljeet aka Dhulla combines the roles of Jughead and Big Moose. Sanchay Goswami acts as Dilton, but instead of seeking knowledge, he is constantly seeking a woman. He is romantically paired with Isha, played by Anuradha Mukherjee. In certain scenes he emulates Shahid Kapoor in his mannerisms and dialogue delivery. He is mischievous and always ready for challenges. Yash Soni plays the part of Archie Andrews, as the refined loveable dude, Nikhil.Īnsh Bagri essays the role of the Casanova Reggi as Vicky. The dialogues are predictable, tasteless and some absolutely awful, that would appeal to the back benchers in college.īut what keeps you hooked is the sincere and natural performance of the cast. And the characters are all one-dimensionally etched. While the gags here are fresh and cheesy, the narrative is clunky and comically bad.
This plot line seems familiar and is reminiscent of many oft seen college films which include Karan Johar's "Student of the Year". The friends gather at the hospital to garner support for him. Narrated in a non-linear fashion, the film starts with a promise when after a night out on their last day, Vicky the life-line of the group meets with a fatal accident. With large dose of romance and idling away of time doing nothing meaningful in life, the film is a badly made big-screen version of an Archie comic. Without any layers of suspense or major drama, it reveals the carefree lives of seven friends Nikhil, Vicky, Suresh, Sarabjeet, Pooja, Nisha and Isha, during their last year in college. It is more befitting as a television broadcast. An official remake of the Gujarati film, "Chello Divas", "Days of Tafree", written and directed by Krishnadev Yagnik is a frivolously handled, cathartic film that lacks depth.
