Shining Sun Studioss’ Krishna Aur Chitthi is the story of a man and his son. The man is a staunch devotee of Lord Krishna while his son almost worships cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
Panditji (Arun Govil) lives in Kashmir. A piece of land, allotted to him by the government to build a temple, is usurped by the local MLA who wants to build a mall on it. Panditji meets the MLA to get his land back. To ridicule Panditji, the MLA asks him to defeat his cricket team in a game of cricket and take his land back. As luck would have it, Panditji’s son, Arjun (Darsheel Safary), is an ace cricketer. But Arjun refuses to play the match. He relents only after he gets a letter from his idol, Sachin Tendulkar, asking Arjun to play the match. What happens thereafter?
Rajnish Mishra has written a predictable story which offers no novelty. His screenplay has some exciting moments but that’s more because it involves the game of cricket. Otherwise, there’s not much newness in the drama. Rajnish Mishra’s dialogues are commonplace.
Arun Govil is alright as Panditji. Darsheel Safary is okay as Arjun. Sajjad Delafrooz plays to the gallery in the role of MLA Iqbal Qureshi. Mir Sarwar lends routine support as Khalid. Others pass muster.
Vinay Bhardwaj and Saumitra Singh’s direction is ordinary. Puneet Dixit’s music is nothing to dance about. Sanjay Masoom’s lyrics are alright. Background music is routine. Hemant Gulshan Chauhan’s camerawork is lovely and so are the Kashmir locales. Devendra Murdeshwar’s editing is sharp.
On the whole, Krishna Aur Chitthi is a flop show.
Released on 29-5-’26 at Inox R-City Ghatkopar (daily 1 show) and another cinema of Bombay by Shining Sun Studioss. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
