In 2016, director Nitesh Tiwari made history by giving Bollywood its highest-grossing film in Dangal. The movie which starred Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Wasim and Sakshi Tanwar, went on to becomes the highest-grossing Indian movie worldwide too. But the film-maker is not interested in doing a bigger movie, instead, he returns with Chhichhore, a film everyone who has gone through hostel life can relate too! Chhichhore Dosti Special Trailer: Sushant Singh Rajput and His Buddies’ ‘Chhichhorapanti’ Will Leave You in Splits (Watch Video).

Chhichhore features an ensemble cast, led by Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor, paired up for the first time. Shifting release dates for a couple of occasions, the movie is finally making its way to the theatres on September 6. With no big Bollywood release this week, it can manage to draw in the college crowds as well as the ones looking for nostalgia. If you are planning to watch Chhichhore this week, here's everything you need to know about the film.

Story

Chhichhore is about two timelines - one is set in the '90s and is about the hostel life in the engineering college, showing the bonding between the boys, and what happens when a beautiful girl is a part of their batch. The present timeline brings back these friends after many years by destiny and makes them reminisce their past. Nitesh Tiwari has directed the film, who has also co-written the script. Chhichhore: Shraddha Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput's Gang Goes From Mischievous to Mature on the New Poster.

Cast

Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor are playing the main leads in the movie. The supporting cast includes Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Naveen Polishetty, Tushar Pandey, Saharsh Shukla and Prateik Babbar. Tahir Raj Bhasin Had to Smoke 200 Packets of Organic Cigarettes for His Role in Chhichhore.

Trailer

Here's the trailer of Chhichhore:

Music

Pritam has composed the seven songs in the film, including two separate versions. Check out the jukebox below:

Budget

Chhichhore is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 70 crore (including marketing costs). The movie has to earn more than Rs 90 crore to be hailed a hit.

Box Office Prediction

Sushant Singh Rajput is not exactly going through a great phase in career, with his last film, Sonchiriya, tanking badly. Shraddha Kapoor might have score a biggie in Saaho, but the movie's driving force was Prabhas. The publicity drive for Chhichhore has been more of a mixed bag. At the box office, we expect the movie to take off on a slow but decent start with an opening weekend collection of about Rs 20 crore at best. With heavy competition from last week's Saaho and this week's Hollywood release, It Chapter 2, Chhichhore will have a hard time to sustain.

Review

Early reviews of Chhichhore are in favour of the film, with even stars like Varun Dhawan in full praise of the movie. LatestLY will update the site with its take on the movie. So please keep an eye on this space for our review of the Nitesh Tiwari film.
