Chhichhore (2019) is a Hindi coming-of-age drama directed by Nitesh Tiwari that blends friendship, nostalgia, and an important message about failure and resilience.
The story moves between two timelines. In the present, Aniruddh Pathak (Sushant Singh Rajput) learns that his son has attempted suicide after failing an entrance exam. To help him cope, Aniruddh reunites with his old college friends and begins narrating their own hostel-life journey from the 1990s.
The past showcases a group of engineering students—often labeled “losers”—who form deep bonds through pranks, rivalries, love, and failures. Despite repeated setbacks, they learn the true meaning of success, friendship, and self-worth.
As the film cuts between past and present, it delivers a powerful message:
👉 Failure is not the end of life, and exams do not define a person.
Themes: Friendship, failure, mental health, self-acceptance
Genre: Comedy-drama
Why it stands out: Emotional depth, relatable characters, and an inspiring life lesson
