ETimes verdict
The film is getting mixed reviews online. Many people like the idea and energy, while some feel the narration is uneven.Our ETimes review said, “Adhvaith Nayar’s Chatha Pacha is a film with its share of ups and downs. There are portions that are highly entertaining, followed by stretches where the narrative seems to jump all over the place. While the decision to limit the personal interactions between the two lead characters is understandable—given the chosen premise and central conflict—those interactions could have been developed more effectively. The basic storyline itself is not new, but the incorporation of costume wrestling into the narrative adds an interesting dimension. However, it is not the high voltage WWE inspired film that was promised. Adhvaith Nayar’s story was developed into a screenplay by Sanoop Thykoodam.”Despite mixed opinions, the film is clearly finding its audience. The action, wrestling setup, and youthful energy are working in its favor.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
