Chhichhore trailer: Shraddha-Sushant starrer promises a heartwarming tale of love and friendship

The trailer for Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari’s next, Chhichhore is out. Lead actors Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor shared the film’s trailer on social media on Friendship Day, Sunday.

Chhichhore, which also stars Varun Sharma and Prateik Babbar, is the story of a group of friends in a college. Sushant plays Anni, a guy who can’t muster the courage to talk to girls, one in particular--Maya, played by Shraddha Kapoor. There is also the street smart Sexa, played by Varun, and the innocent soul Mummy, played by Tushar Pandey. The gang includes more boys with more childish names like Acid, Bevda and Raggie, which were all the rave with school kids around 10 years ago but were discarded just as easily.

The plot could remind you a lot of Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots or Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai. The kids have the time of their life in college but time and 9-5 shifts pull them apart. They meet years later in a hospital (and with the shoddiest old people make-up they could manage) when one of the boys meets with an accident (or gets beaten to a pulp by someone) and the gang decides to avenge their friend. Also a lot like Stephen King’s It.
