The Tamil film Chithha is produced by Siddharth under his banner Etaki Entertainment. He plays the character Eeswaran in this film. Take a look at some of the reviews shared by critics.
Chithha is written and directed by SU Arun Kumar. The film starring Siddharth in the leading role along with Nimisha Sajayan, Sahasra Shree and Anjali Nair has been hailed for not just the performances, but also for its ‘compelling’ narrative. Critics have labelled this Tamil film as ‘hard-hitting’. Many have stated that this film revolving around sexual abuse is sensitive and emotional.

The Indian Express – Chithha works because this maturity is not just in its ideas but also in its form. It is not just a film with good intentions, it is a good movie too. And it establishes that in the very first scene.
The Hindu – With such brilliantly-written and staged scenes along with a strong core, Chithha marks a befitting resurgence for both its director and lead actor. What makes the depiction of abuse more hard-hitting are the sequences that happen behind closed doors, letting our horrid impulses fill in the blanks.
Film Companion – Instead of telling us things, Arun Kumar keeps us in the shadows and we realise that this emotion hits differently. That’s when Chiththa becomes a thriller — where you are scared, not for them, but with them.
Times Of India – In many ways, Chithha is a companion piece to last year's superb Gargi. As in that film, this one, too, deals with sexual abuse. Both the films have the tone of a thriller, but refrain from sensationalism and handle the fallout of abuse in a sensitive and empathetic manner.
The News Minute – Chithha is tightly written, and no scene feels redundant. By not giving away too much, the movie ensures that the audience remains on edge till the very end. Because of this, the twists are not sharp or unexpected, but rather slowly settle over the audience like a stormcloud.
