Chello show movie download

Chello Show offers us a steeped-in-nostalgia story of a young boy in rural Gujarat who is enraptured and captured by the power of cinema. It will remind you instantly of the 1988 Italian classic, ‘Cinema Paradiso’, which featured the relationship between a young boy and a middle-aged projectionist, cemented in a small, dark room from where the movies played. ‘Chhello Show’, or ‘ The Last Film Show’, is also meant to be a semi-autobiographical tale of the director Pan Nalin, whose journey from a remote Saurashtra village to a creator of images is reflected in the movie. Samay (Bhavin Rabari), bright-eyed and inquisitive, wants more than just being an assistant to his father, who runs a tea-stall at the village railway station. It’s the kind of cosy stop that used to be part of our travelling history, when trains stopped for a few minutes at nameless outposts for passengers to disembark, and for vendors to sell their wares. Also read | Samay and his pals roam around the tracks, looking for things to do, and they find a nearby cinema-hall which quickly becomes a source of constant joy. Movies are not for us, unless they are about deities, thunders Samay’s father, bound by the privilege of caste which doesn’t cushion him from poverty. But Samay, played by the very expressive Rabari, is not to be deterred. He has found cinema, and cinema has found him, and it is for keeps.

A committee, headed by Kannada film director TS Nagabharana, selected Nalin’s film as the official entry to the Best International Film Feature category. Only three Indian movies have gotten nominated in the category, including Mehboob Khan’s Mother India (1957), Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay! (1988) and Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan (2001). Other contenders for the entry were the aforementioned Telugu behemoth, SS Rajamouli’s RRR, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, Sajimon Prabhakar’s Malayankunju and Rahul Sankrityan’s Shyam Singha Roy. According to Nagabharana, Nalin’s Chello Show was a unanimous choice, despite RRR being a massive hit with Western media and receiving endorsements from Hollywood bigwigs like Edgar Wright, C Robert Cargill, and Larry Karasewski. What’s Chello Show about? The story follows nine-year-old Samay from Chalala, a village in Saurashtra in Gujarat, and how his life changed after entering a cinema hall projection booth where he watched several films throughout the summer. The official synopsis says that the movie “is set at the cusp of the digital revolution and follows a nine-year-old boy ensnared by the magic and science of light and shadow that lies behind celluloid film projection”. The film has been largely inspired by Nalin’s own childhood experiences of growing up in rural Gujarat. ©Getty Images Who is in the movie?
