Chhichhore stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in pivotal roles and even as the reviews flow in for the movie, the audience is abuzz with the 'typical' hostel life that the Bollywood flick aims to show on-screen. The movie is directed by Nitesh Tiwari, who rose to fame after he directed the movie Dangal. The Chhicchore cast includes Shraddha Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput, Nalneesh Neel, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Varun Sharma, Naveen Polishetty and Prateik Babbar in important roles. The Sajid Nadiadwala and Fox Star entertainment production hit the theatres on 6th September 2019, and the script revolves around the life of seven college friends from 1992 to the current day.

If you have ever experienced hostel life, the movie is sure to give you a walk down the memory lane. If you haven't, you are sure to be taken right back into the stereotype college dorm days tales you've heard about from your loved ones. Right from the trailer of the movie to the Chhichhore movie reviews, the on-screen portrayals will make many reminisce about their college and hostel days. Here's a look at some 'typical' hostel moments captured in the trailer, without giving any spoilers away: 

Bucket Fights

In the trailer, Sushant Singh Rajput is seen throwing a bucket full of water on Varun Sharma. In a scene that follows, Sharma is seen returning the prank. Whether you have been part of hostel life of you have only heard second-hand accounts, bathroom bucket fights between dorm-mates is a staple story one hears. In the trailer, the scene establishes the proximity between the characters and reminds the audiences of the 'no inhibition' dynamic of college frienships. 

Sharing Everything

Right from clothes to adult magazines and unwanted advice to a pouring ones heart out on bad experiences-- college friends have seen it all. This is exactly what Chhicchore's trailer depicts in its 2 minute 43 second video. The Chhichhore movie trailer highlights the fact that friends are your only family in the hostel and hence you share everything with them. You learn and grow with your friends, who, in turn, become a huge part of your life. It’s very different from being a day-scholar and the makers of the film seem to constantly stress that in its undertone. From sequences where one friend is seen instigating another to the overall voiceover through the trailer that stresses on a close bond between hostel mates, sharing everything seems to be the driving sentiment of the characters. 

Impromptu Celebrations

The depiction of hostel life in the trailer of Chhichhore includes dorm room parties. There are several scenes that depict simplicity of these celebrations in the trailer itself. We see everything from jamming sessions with friends to birthday bumps and celebrations in small hostel rooms encompassed in the short trailer. Through these scenes, the makers of the movie continuously remind the audience of unplanned celebrations which were not just spontaneous in their planning but also simple in their execution in their college days.

Discussing Formal Matters in Informal Settings

There is a very important scene in the trailer where Tahir Bhasin conducts an informal meeting to discuss their win in the next competition. Though the setting is completely informal, the matter at hand is anything but unimportant. The whole class seems to be present for one of these meetings. Tahir Bhasin is conducting the meeting and his speech is followed by a thunderous response from his classmates.What is the takeaway here? That college days didn't require the formality of a setting to discuss important matters. 

Borderline Cringe-worthy nicknames

The whole idea of having cringe-worthy nicknames depicts hostel life perfectly. Everyone can relate to that corny tag that they gave or were given in their college days. We have no control over what our friends decide to name us, and Chhichhore's trailer reinforces just that. For example, Tushar Pandey’s character in the movie is named Mummy, Naveen Polishetty is Acid and Saharsh Kumar Shukla is Bevda and it is said that these nicknames stay with them throughout the movie.

College and hostel life is a huge part of the movie and the Chhicchore cast seems to have accurately pulled it off in terms of getting the ethos of the script right. Netting Rs. 7.32 crore on its opening day, Chhichhore's collections at the box office by Day 3 was at Rs. 35.98 crore. Irrespective of varied opinions of critics, the overall verdict on Chhichhore's movie review has been that it is sure to give the audience a strong bout of nostalgia from their hostel and college days. The movie is a comedy-drama that, movie goers say, will make you feel a spectrum of emotions. The movie deals with complex issues including suicide and is a healthy dose of laughter mixed with a few tears.
