…a good attempt at reminding us that India is still bound by caste and gender discrimination but it really does nothing more than that. And that’s the biggest problem.

Chauranga is neither provocative nor skillful in its portrayal. Though its last scene ushers in a ray of hope to nullify the haunting gory glimpses from the film, it never soars high enough to affect you.

The title of the film, “Chauranga,” which means four colors, does not justify itself properly. Equally limp is the film in its ability to deliver a strong message. The slow pace and lack of high octane action, leaves it looking like a slice of the Dalit life.
