Plot

Suraj has everything any young man would kill for – an MBA, a well-paid job and an offer from UK with a salary of 5,000 pounds. But Suraj is no ordinary boy! He has only one passion – Cinema. His only dream is to be a film Producer-Director. He chooses passion over money and becomes a rebel. He produces a shocker to his family and friends, that he is quitting his job to follow his dream of film making. Being disowned by everyone and without any industry contacts, Suraj is left all alone to find his way in the big bad world of Bollywood.

Suraj starts his career by putting posters alongside roads. He struggles as an assistant on the sets and has to face rejection from the industry, his friends, family and loved ones.

Chal Pichchur Banate Hain is Suraj’s passionate journey from an MBA to a filmmaker.

Critical reception

Martin D'Souza, of Yahoo gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote, "Chal Pichchur Banate Hain is a refreshing story idea. Although we have seen films like Luck By Chance, Khoya Khoya Chand and more recently, Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baaki Hai, this film is not repetitive in the sense that there is no sense of having seen it. The reason being, it is totally and outsider's perspective and his journey of following his passion of film-making.

Although director Pritish Chakraborty has not dwelt on nepotism, it is one underlying fact that comes out loud and clear; if Suraj was the son of a well-known actor, producer or director... his life would not have been a struggle. Breaks would have come by the dozen! Even after flops... but that would be a script for another film. Maybe Part II. Rahil Tandon plays the role of a fresh MBA with his eyes on 70mm with ease. You can easily identify with his character. Although his performance is not powerful, he makes you believe in his character and takes you through his frustration. Bhavana Ruparel as Merlena, on the other hand is a powerful performance. She is in sync with the role she plays. A talent to watch out for. Absolutely comfortable with any scene she is asked to perform with a terrific body language.

Director Pritish Chakraborty has most of the nuances of this plot in tune. The bit struggle, the frustration, the angst of his parents, the indifference of the industry and the blatant plagiarism are dealt with well. A song in particular sensitizes the way the industry works today with lyrics that go thus... 'Original ka gaya zamana, sab copy paste hai. Ctrl C, Ctrl V'."[3]
