Samay's curiosity about the films takes him on a quest to 'capture' light. After some very amusing events, he befriends a film projectionist named Fazal (Bhavesh Shrimali), and celluloid dreams begin to take shape in him.īut Chhello Show isn't just a coming-of-age drama driven by Samay's obsession with cinema it's also a film with a narrative that encapsulates the evolution of cinema and cinema theatres. The light from the projector, and the experience of watching the film give birth to a germ of curiosity in the mind of our young protagonist. The year is 2010 when movies were still shot using film cameras and played through a film projector. One day, his father takes the family to a movie called 'Goddess Mahakali'.

With tender frames, the film pulls us into the world of Samay (Bhavin Rabari), a young boy from Chalala village in Gujarat, who lives with his father (Dipen Raval), mother (Richa Meena) and younger sister.

Storyline: Mesmerised by cinema, a young boy pursues his dreams of capturing light and making movies
