Chithha

With Chittha, director Arun Kumar delivers a sensitive, powerful film that breaks conventional rules of heroism, full of surprises—pleasant and dark, satisfying and terrifying—while standing by its women and asking tough questions of its men through earnest performances and a remarkably poetic yet realistic eye for human behaviour.

Chithha is one of those rare amalgamations of everything perfect. It is not just a film with good intentions, it is a good movie too. SU Arun Kumar trusts the intellect of the audience, and that's why Chithha works.

Despite minor flaws, Chithha is a necessary watch and a masterclass on how movies on child sexual assault can be sensitive and engaging without constantly triggering the audience. The film deserves praise for portraying child sexual abuse sensitively, with no triggering, disturbing visuals of the assaulted children shown.

Siddharth's Chithha is a hard-hitting and deeply unsettling tale of abuse. The performances, too, are top-notch.

Director SU Arun Kumar's 'Chithha' is one such film and it does the noble work of making you think and see a different perspective on abuse. A much-needed one at that. 'Chithha' is a much-needed film with a solid message. This is truly a hard-watch but will leave with a good afterthought.

Chithha is one of the must-watch films of the year, thanks to the terrific performances from lead actors, intriguing screenplay and the originality with which a sensitive subject is handled. Director SU Arun Kumar manages to keep the audience on the edge of their seats and make them empathize with the lead characters convincingly till the end, offering a satisfying experience to viewers.
