Chhatriwali movie review: Films based on sex education like Aparshakti Khurana’s ‘Helmet’ came in 2021 and Nusrat Bharucha’s ‘Janhit Main Jaari’ released last year. Chhatriwali movie released exclusively on OTT platform ZEE5 is the third film on such a subject on OTT.
According to the story of the film, Sanya Dhingra (Rakulpreet Singh), a well-to-do girl living in Karnal, Haryana, is an expert in chemistry. Due to the need of money, she tutors children at home. One day Ratan Lamba (Satish Kaushik) who lives near her house, offers Sanya a job as a quality tester in his condom factory. At first Sanya refuses this job fearing disgrace, but later she joins this job because of the good salary. Meanwhile, Sanya meets Rishi Kalra (Sumit Vyas) at a friend’s engagement. The two grow close and get married.
Sanya’s trouble starts after marriage, as her husband Rishi’s elder brother is very conservative. He does not use condoms. On the other hand, Sanya signed a one-year contract with a condom company while joining the job, with only three months remaining. So he continues his job. But the real spectacle happens when one day Sanya’s secret is revealed in front of her in-laws. Now how does Sanya deal with these situations? Will know after watching this movie.
In ‘Chhatriwali’, an important issue like sex education, the director has used comedy drama to explain the subject of the film in an entertaining way. But after the interval, the film talks about the importance of sex education under the guise of condoms. However, the story of this film, which is less than two hours long, weakens in the second half. Especially coming to the climax the film does not leave as much impact as one would expect from a film on such an important subject. If you have seen last year’s movie ‘Janhit Mein Jaari’, you will find this movie similar to it. Although Rakulpreet has acted well in the film, Sumit Vyas is also frozen. On the other hand, Satish Kaushik and Rajesh Tailang have also done a good job. If you want to watch an offbeat movie on the weekend then you can watch the movie ‘Chhatriwali’.
