Bharat Bhavan, being the cultural hub of the city, often organizes new events at its premises. On Monday a children's film festival got underway with Bollywood movie Chillar Party.
Being organised under the Chhavi series of classical cinema, the children's film festival would continue till Friday. Notably, the film fest is being organised for children so that they can enjoy their vacation evenings and for this much selected movies would be screened each day. Chillar Party is one of the loved movies among children. Chillar Party is a 2011 Indian children's film directed by Nitesh Tiwari and Vikas Bahl and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under UTV Motion Pictures and Salman Khan under his SKBH Productions (Salman Khan Being Human Productions).The film has a multiple-cast of debuting child artists.
It also features Ranbir Kapoor in an item number. Notably, Chillar Party won the 2011 National Film Award for Best Children's Film. It is about a gang of innocent but feisty kids who lead a carefree life and take on the big bad world of politics when one of their friend's life is endangered. When an employee of Mumbai is replaced by a youth, Fatka, who has a stray dog, Bhidu (aka Buddy). There is no accommodation provided for this homeless orphan, so he and his pet decide to make an abandoned antique car their new home. There is some resentment from the children of the building, but Fatka gets accepted in the cricket team after he demonstrates his bowling capabilities.
A chance visit by a politician, Shashikant Bhide, results in enforcement of new municipal legislation to capture all stray dogs, and the children decide to oppose it. Their attempt to secure 31 signatures from residents turns out to be in vain, and they decide to launch a unique protest. Shashikant puts pressure on Chandan Nagar's Secretary, Tandon, as well as launches his own campaign to enforce the legislation and ensure Bhidu's capture.
