After yesterday’s disastrous attempt at watching the monstrosity that was Indian 2, I needed a redeeming piece of cinema to make it worth my while.
Thankfully, Chandu Champion reinforced my belief that good cinema can still be made in Bollywood. And yes, this is Karthik Aryan’s breakout performance, one that will be counted among his best when he is done.
The climax (a 50 meter swim) was, in my opinion, among the best three I have ever seen. Again, it’s a personal choice, so you may differ, but yes, this was my experience of it.
What about hasta kaiko hai? That’s his oft-spoken line in the movie and again one that I suspect will become his “jhakaas” or “khamosh” in the years to come.
I will spare you a review – just two words – watch it!
I also bought some nice books (my weekend pastime) which I will now have to start cataloguing lest I buy the same books over and over again. Having had a library before, hopefully this will not be too arduous a task. Wish me luck on that one.
See you tomorrow!
