Chhello Show “coming-of-age story” with “an ethereal take on the magic of movies”. “A semi-autobiographical fable set in the Indian state of Gujarat where Nalin was raised, Last Film Show might sound like a cutesy modern riff on Cinema Paradiso, but as you already know this achingly bittersweet requiem for a dream pulls from a much deeper pool of inspirations. Two of them are Sergio Leone and Terrence Malick, both drift into our mind’s eye from the moment we first see nine-year-old Samay walking along the railroad tracks that stretch past the modest house from which his overbearing father Bapuji (Dipen Raval) sells tea to passengers aboard the rickety trains that stop nearby. Played by Bhavin Rabari, a precocious and compulsively watchable nine-year-old Gujarati boy who shares much in common with his character, Samay doesn’t really know what cinema is at the start of the movie, and yet his life is already full of the stuff.
Chhello Show has done official entry for Oscars 2023.Chhello Show has been chosen as India’s submission to the Best International Feature Film category at the 95th Academy Awards.About Chhello Show being India’s entry for 2023 Oscars director Pan Nalin said in a statement, ”I could have never imagined such a day would come and bring light and celebration of light. Chhello Show has been enjoying love from around the world but there was an ache in my heart that how do I make India discover it? Now I can breathe again and believe in cinema that entertains, inspires and enlightens!
