What you should know about ‘Chatha Pacha’

‘Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies’ is directed by debutant Adhvaith Nayar.

Starring Arjun Ashokan, Roshan Mathew, Vishak Nair, and Ishan Shoukath, the film is set against the backdrop of Kochi’s wrestling culture. Superstar Mammootty appears in a cameo role in the film. TOI has ranked the film 3 out of 5, and the review reads, “Adhvaith Nayar’s Chatha Pacha is a film with its share of ups and downs. There are portions that are highly entertaining, followed by stretches where the narrative seems to jump all over the place.

While the decision to limit the personal interactions between the two lead characters is understandable—given the chosen premise and central conflict—those interactions could have been developed more effectively. The basic storyline itself is not new, but the incorporation of costume wrestling into the narrative adds an interesting dimension. However, it is not the high-voltage WWE-inspired film that was promised.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
